Best Equestrian Camping near Koshkonong, MO

Based on the available campground data near Koshkonong, Missouri, there are no dedicated horse-friendly campgrounds with horse corrals or specialized equestrian facilities. Local campgrounds like Richard's Canoe Rental & Campground, Greer Crossing, and Turner's Mill accommodate tent camping, RVs, and in some cases cabins, but none feature specific horse-friendly amenities such as corrals, stalls, or dedicated equestrian campsites. While some campgrounds allow pets, this does not necessarily extend to horses. The facilities focus primarily on river access, fishing, and general outdoor recreation rather than equestrian activities.

For those traveling with horses near Koshkonong, contacting campgrounds directly about potential horse accommodations is recommended. Many rural campgrounds may allow horses by special arrangement even if not advertised. The area offers scenic outdoors with the Eleven Point River providing natural water access. Several primitive camping locations like Turner's Mill and Boze Mill Float Camp provide more remote experiences that might accommodate horses with advance permission. Mark Twain National Forest, which encompasses parts of the region, sometimes allows horses on certain trails and camping areas, though specific restrictions apply regarding feed, tethering, and waste management.

    Shawnee Creek Backcountry Camping — Ozark National Scenic Riverway

    Best Campground Ever

    If you want to see the wild horses of Shannon County, this is the place to stay.  Right on the Jack's Fork, so beautiful.  New bathrooms, but everything else is primitive.  Equestrian sites down the road in both directions.  $10 a night!

    Richard's Canoe Rental & Campground

    Great Place with Homey Feel

    $10 per night, firewood, ice, and more amenities on site.  The owner is so nice.  His dog Lil' Dan also slept with me.  There is a horse next to the camp sites and it's just so beautiful.  Float launches from the campground, so convenient.  Close to Grand Gulf, Greer Spring, Mammoth Spring, and right on beautiful highway 19.  I will be back soon!

    Harveys Circle B Campground

    Nice campsite

    Very accommodating campground. Has a nicely stocked store when you come in for anything you might have forgotten. Bathrooms were a little cramped but clean. Clean showers. We stayed in a campsite on the river. The campsites are a little close together but no one was at the one next to us so it did not feel so bad. Staff was very nice and friendly. Campgrounds are right outside of town if you need to go get anything they might not have at the store. I would stay here again. We enjoyed it

    Henderson Park

    Missing Showers

    This would be five stars except for lack of showers. Beautiful site right on beautiful lake. Short distance from town. Small park mature trees.

    Harveys Circle B Campground

    Nice spot

    Perfect in the off season. People were wonderful and you are right next to the water. Pickup for float trips is nice too

    If the facilities are great it would be five stars. They were not bad, but a little dated and not well set up for camper showers. Clean though.

    Two Rivers Backcountry Camping — Ozark National Scenic Riverway

    Great FCFS camping along Ozark NSR!

    We took a last-minute trip on a beautiful weekend in June 2020 to get outside (responsibly) during the pandemic. Two Rivers campground did not disappoint! We were able to get a first come first served site around 4:30p on a Friday - it was one of two remaining sites so we likely lucked out. The campground had gnats, but we didn’t get too many mosquitos so for that we were grateful. There were several other groups who were camping there to go floating; there is an outfitter right at the campground with a small convenience store in a trailer. They coordinate float trips and rent canoes and rafts. We didn’t float this time, but would definitely consider returning to do so! Would recommend going for sites on the outside of the ring, if possible - these seemed to have more shade and a tad more privacy.

    Boze Mill Float Camp

    Stunning location

    I have never camped here but visit when kayaking. You can access it from the river and it is a short walk and well worth it

    Turner's mill

    Beautiful Area!

    Beautiful secluded area. Small (only 3 or 4 sites). River access and super close to stream/cave/waterfall area. Water from the cave is so fresh and clear! Truly a beautiful area!
