Two horse-friendly campgrounds near Blanchard provide designated equestrian facilities with corral systems. Corral Equestrian Campground at Farragut State Park features individual horse corrals alongside drinking water and fire rings at each site. Campground hosts maintain well-kept corrals and picnic tables within a peaceful, tree-lined setting that accommodates various camping styles. The magnificent equestrian campground at Riverside State Park offers electrical hookups, horse corrals, and pit toilets in the main camping area. For large groups or overflow camping situations, the park grants permission to use adjacent areas suitable for high lining horses near the arena facility.
Many miles of trails intersect at Riverside State Park's equestrian campground, creating extensive riding opportunities along the scenic Spokane River. The facility includes an arena, round pen, and trail training course a quarter mile from the main camping area. Pack River dispersed sites provide more primitive horse camping options with multiple spots suitable for horses along the river, ideal for those seeking solitude with their equine companions. Riders frequently encounter wildlife while traversing the connected trail systems that extend throughout these areas. Farragut's numerous trails make it perfect for extended horseback riding vacations, with access to tree-lined paths and scenic viewpoints. Group equestrian camping works particularly well at these locations due to the spacious layout and multiple corral options.

Quiet campaigning in tall trees
This is a small, regional campground in Liberty Lake, between Spokane WA and Coeur D’Alene ID. It’s quiet and there are lots of trees, hiking trails, equestrian trails, a lake, waterfall, and wildlife. The campground is small, just 17 regular water & 30 amp; electric sites, and 3 premium sites with full hookups on top of the hill. There are also a few cabins. The bathroom/shower is dated, but it’s clean. Getting to the park and campground is a little complicated because you have to go through a residential area, then down a narrow road to the park, and an even narrower one way road down a steep grade to the campground. But it’s worth the effort for the quiet and accessible hiking. We saw deer, moose, pileated woodpeckers in the campground.

Beautiful tucked away treasure!
The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the spots are super spaced out so no need to worry about hearing anyone or if you bring furry friends! The water was so close and perfect!

No shade; hope for clouds; good facilities
Nice clean bathrooms, showers, water and electricity. No trees for shade so cloudy weather is ideal.
