Best Equestrian Camping in Idaho
Snake River Canyons Park offers horse corrals at Rickett's RV Camp, providing both tent and RV camping without electrical hookups. The free campsites include picnic tables and fire rings with toilet facilities available. The park's unpaved access roads accommodate both drive-in and walk-in camping options, though no drinking water is available on site. Pets are permitted throughout the camping area, allowing horse owners to bring their canine companions alongside their equines. The dirt roads leading to the camp can become rutted after rain, potentially challenging for larger horse trailers during wet conditions.
Located along the Snake River, the park connects riders to miles of trails suitable for all skill levels. Horse owners need to bring their own water for animals as no water hookups exist on site. The trails wind through the canyon landscape with views of the Snake River below. Many riders appreciate the natural highline opportunities from nearby trees for securing horses overnight when not using the corral facilities. Vault toilets remain available year-round, though their cleanliness varies seasonally with higher use. The campground's location offers good access to both canyon rim riding and river valley explorations, making it a practical base camp for multiple days of trail riding adventures throughout the surrounding Bureau of Land Management territory.
