Best Equestrian Camping near Martinsdale, MT
Richardson Campground in White Sulphur Springs provides horse corrals near its trailhead entrance, though horses are not permitted in the actual campsites. The campground contains three primitive sites positioned along a small creek, each equipped with a picnic table and metal fire ring. The first site also includes a BBQ grill. A single outhouse serves the area, and the campground follows a pack-in, pack-out policy with no water available on site. The road design limits turnaround options, particularly for visitors with trailers, as noted in the entrance sign warning "NO TURN AROUND." Once past the second campsite, space becomes extremely limited for larger vehicles.
Halfmoon Campground connects to miles of hiking trails with abundant wildlife including black bears and moose. Located in the Crazy Mountains at approximately 3,800 feet elevation, the campground features well-separated sites set among timber with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. The access road requires high-clearance vehicles with four-wheel drive capability, particularly during the final four miles which become extremely rough. Winter conditions necessitate chains for some vehicles. The campground sits at the base of mountain peaks with crystal clear streams and waterfalls in the vicinity. Twin Lakes trailhead lies directly across from the campground, offering a challenging but rewarding 4-mile hike to Granite Lake. The facility operates on a fee basis with rates of $5 per campsite.
