Best Equestrian Camping near Roberts, MT

14 Reviews

Meyer's Creek Cabin provides horse-friendly accommodations near Roberts, Montana with dedicated corrals and access to pastureland for equestrians. The facility includes a main cabin that sleeps up to six people with electricity and running water. Horse owners can utilize the corrals or turn horses out in the 40-acre fenced pasture with a creek running through it. The cabin sits at the start of multiple Forest Service trails, offering extensive riding opportunities. Access requires navigating a somewhat tight road, with recommendations against trailers longer than 30 feet. The cabin must be reserved in advance and books quickly due to its popularity with equestrians. Overnight camping outside the cabin is not permitted.

West Bridger Cabin offers another equestrian camping option in the region with similar horse-friendly features. Trail access from both cabins provides riders with numerous route options, with Meyer's Creek offering "endless trails in different directions" according to experienced visitors. The hydrant at Meyer's Creek is located approximately 115 feet from the corral area, requiring riders to bring a long hose for watering horses. Both cabins provide vault toilets, and Meyer's Creek includes a fire ring and creek access. The cabins are particularly popular with equestrian groups looking to explore the surrounding wilderness areas. Daily trail rides connect campers to spectacular mountain scenery and diverse terrain suitable for various riding skill levels.

    Meyers Creek Cabin

    Best horse camp cabin

    This is one of the best camping cabins for equestrians that I found so far in Montana. Getting from the main road into the cabin can be a bit tricky for vehicles over 30 feet. This cabin has plenty of room to sleep 6. There are Corrals for horses and pasture. And the trails into the forest service are endless in a couple different directions. There is also a vault toilet for day travelers. The cabin has electricity and running water a fire ring and it's also close to a creek. The only down holes are mosquitoes and you cannot overnight camp only rent the cabin so if you're planning a trip you need to plan and Reserve this cabin in advance as it goes really fast every year.

    West Bridger Cabin

    West Bridger Cabin

    This is one of my favorite places to camp with horses. There is a 40 acre pasture fenced to turn horses in with a creek running through it. There is also a nice little Corral if you have any horse that doesn't get along with other animals or one that you can't catch very easily. There are several places to ride. It's a bit of a tight squeeze to get a big horse trailer in there I would not recommend anything much over 30 feet. If you go a few miles up the road you can go to the trailhead that allows you to go on up to Deer Creek cabin. We rent the two cabins often park at the lower cabin and ride our horses up to the Deer Creek cabin and stay . you cannot drive to the Deer Creek cabin itself only to the trailhead

    Mountain views

    The cabin was great. Beds were comfortable, had all dishware needed plus cleaning supplies. If you have horses bring long hose. The hydrant is located about 115 away, no water tanks. It is located at the start of a trail. You will have a small amount of traffic

    Pilot Creek Dispersed Camping

    Worked in a pinch

    We intended to stay on the other side of the road, (river side) but missed the turn. We stumbled on this trailhead/OHV site and ended up staying here for the night. There are multiple dispersed sites that back up to the Pilot Creek Trail. Plenty of spots in the grass for big rigs and trailers. We ended up near the horse coral/bathroom (vaulted toilet), not ideal but worked in a pinch. Lots of mosquitos. Some sites have bear boxes.

    Emerald Lake Campground

    Busy Site on the way to Mystic Lake

    Lots of campsites most in the woods with only a few next to the creek between the two lakes. I got there on Saturday at 3 pm and there were only 2 spots open. With the final gone within 30 minutes. Bathroom are a little far from the sites and don’t smell great but most of the sites have campers or RVs with many people spending the night to hike up to mystic or kayak in emerald lake.

    Emerald Lake Campground

    Nifty Campground

    Spent 3 nights at spot #12 over Labor Day weekend. Sites were tidy and bathrooms were very clean with no flies or stench. I walked around looking at the various sites and only thought 2 or 3 spots might be worthy of a 5 star. If I return I will try to snag #20 or #13. There is no camp host so nefarious folks stroll through at off hours of the night or others feel entitled to run a generator all night. This is a Forest Service campground so it is definitely a government run joint that very little funds get earmarked for upgrades and signage. It’s not directly on the lake but about 300yds away and no views from majority of the sites of the lake. The Majestic Lake trailhead is about a mile further south and that was a fun excursion for the day. I accidentally left a new hammock at the spot so if you score this enjoy!

    Pilot Creek Dispersed Camping

    Open or Wooded — Your Choice

    Like most people, we had hoped to stay across the street along the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. That area has 2 pretty shaded spots, and both were taken. We headed over to Pilot and we were pleasantly surprised. Yes, there is a big open area with little privacy if it is crowded. But it’s great for groups and perfect for solar and cattle watching (our dog loves to watch cows). But there are at least half a dozen wooded spots, setback. Three have bear boxes and are right by a hiking trail. Add to this the beautiful mountains, ease of access to Yellowstone or Red Lodge, and a clean vault toilet and we would stay again.

    Emerald Lake Campground

    My Favorite campground by far.

    I have visited this campground many times. The lakes around the campground are amazing for fishing and any other light water sports. I mostly fly fish and the streams feeding the lakes are great to fish. Fish of all types from whitefish to brown and rainbow trout. The campground is great and easy to camp in. I mostly tent camo and have yet to find a camp spot I didn't like. Great place for family camping and anyone else looking for great views and awesome fishing. Also an easy drive to the mystic lake trailhead.
