Best Equestrian Camping near Hope, ID

60 Reviews

Corral Equestrian Campground in Farragut State Park provides specialized facilities for riders traveling with horses. The campground features dedicated horse corrals, drinking water, and toilets for a comfortable stay. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with generator use permitted for overnight visitors. Located within the larger Farragut State Park, campsites are reservable for equestrians planning trail rides through the extensive park system. The maintained horse corrals offer secure containment for horses while camping. The nearby fairgrounds at Bonner County occasionally host equestrian events, where visitors can observe Fjord Horse shows and other competitions.

The equestrian trails surrounding Hope connect riders to numerous scenic routes through north Idaho's forests and mountains. Visitors with horses can access Pack River dispersed camping areas, which offer more primitive camping experiences in beautiful remote settings. These dispersed sites along Pack River provide ample space for horse trailers and natural surroundings for trail rides. Proper trail etiquette is expected, including managing manure and respecting designated equestrian routes. Reservations are recommended for Corral Equestrian Campground, especially during summer months when equestrian campsites fill quickly. The unpaved roads accessing some horse camping areas may feature washboard sections and rutted areas, requiring careful navigation with horse trailers. All horse camping locations require pack-in, pack-out practices and responsible waste management.

    Kootenai County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Kootenai County Fairgrounds RV Park

    We were very pleased with this RV park! We stayed for two nights so my wife could attend a conference. This facility is located very near the general Fairgrounds and next to the horse park. No horses are allowed at the campground but stables are very near by in the Fairgrounds. The sites are all pretty level with the parking areas paved. Grass and groomed gravel areas too. There are various sized sites most are back in. When checking online, and that's where you must reserve your site, there is a very good map with the site lengths listed. Our number 1 site was over 60 feet long and large for our 34 foot long 5th wheel and our Chevy truck. Most of the sites are full hookup with 30 and 50 amp electric. Water and sewer dump. There is also a sewer dump station with 4 dumps, located just west of this park. There is NO wifi provided in the park, but being pretty centralized in the area, cell service is very good. I had full bars of 4G service on my AT&T 5G phone. There is a building with bathroom and showers available if needed, at the south end of the park. Our site was just along the road and it was pretty noisy but it did calm down at night. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed and picked up after. For a Fairgrounds campground it is a bit pricey compared to the other Fairground Camping we've utilized, this is still a very nice facility and we would and probably will use it again.

    Unknown Campground/RV Park

    Not very well publicized RV Park. Hopefully, this will help. We stayed here in July. It's a small park and spaces are close together. There is water and power hookups, and a dump station at the exit. The showers are okay. Could use a more regular cleaning.

    Pleasant Valley Campground

    Nice and quiet

    There was only one other camper so it was nice and quiet, it’s very close off the 2 highway so it’s really easy to get to. There are toilets that were ok at the time. Sites had some nice privacy with the trees, the horse camp sites at the back were a little more open but looked to be in really good condition. There were also a couple of hiking trails right at the site with signs. Really beautiful views near the back. Did not have Verizon service.

    Bonner County Fairgrounds

    I like

    Would have said 5 but we had a code on our electric and no way to report it as the host is not here and the phone numbers had full messages so are apparently not checked. Clean restrooms and showers, dump station, nice and quiet. Bonus, there was a Fjord Horse show while we were here. Cool to see the horses.

    You won’t want to leave camp

    Ended our tour of Northern Idaho at spot #140. Tons of flat area to put down a tent, mosquito shade (they are pretty bad), and enjoy the amazing view!

    Bathrooms with vault toilets, water pump, and grey water dump all just a short walk away

    Pleasant Valley Campground

    Perfect stop for primitive

    Stayed early October and only 1 other camper. Glad it was open, as information is limited and most areas close Sept 15th or Oct 1 and close gates for access. Basic sites, vault toilet. Underused, but great for horses with fence, etc. Only one other car camper. Beautiful stars at night!

    Round Lake State Park Campground

    They have ruined my childhood spot

    We used to camp here in the 80s and it was always peaceful and beautiful. And we liked it because its got free showers and the bathrooms are very clean for camping. However,! There used to only about 34ish spots and now there are 51 spots. Its very crowded and people feel like they are right on top of each other. Your fire pit area is right next to your neighbors picnic table and/or their fire pit. They also clear cut all the bushes between spots and threw wood chips down so there is no privacy at all. I know they are worried about fires but good grief. Hence the reason it feels like you are right on top of your neighbors. The day use area is still pretty much the same as it's always been and the lake is just as beautiful but not the camping part. Thanks a lot Idaho fish and game! :( UGH!!!
