Best Equestrian Camping near Manchester, NH

19 Reviews

Horse-friendly campgrounds are limited near Manchester, New Hampshire. Based on available campground data, none of the listed facilities explicitly offer horse corrals or dedicated equestrian amenities. Gunstock Campground in Gilford provides 250 campsites with accommodations for tents, RVs, and cabins, but lacks specific horse facilities. Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park in Derry spans 1300 acres with full hookup sites, though reviews indicate it caters primarily to RV campers and golf enthusiasts rather than equestrians. The campground features swimming beaches, a playground, and a bar and grill but does not advertise horse-specific amenities.

Tippicanoe Campground and Ramblewood Cabins and Campground permit pets but lack horse-specific facilities like corrals, tie-outs, or dedicated trailer parking. Campers seeking equestrian opportunities might need to look beyond the immediate Manchester area for suitable options. State parks in the broader New Hampshire region typically offer more extensive trail systems and horse-friendly camping options. Riders should contact campgrounds directly to inquire about trailer parking, temporary corral setup policies, and proximity to public bridle trails. Most campgrounds in the region require reservations, with peak season extending from May through October when trail conditions are optimal.

    Gunstock Campground

    Gunstock Mountain

    I was lucky to receive a tranquil, secluded spot next to a brook - perfect. This campground has nothing to do, or plenty you can do - walking, hiking, biking, and close access to all Gunstock's adventures.

    Gunstock Campground

    Pretty Decent Little Camping Spot

    Pros: Beautiful area, not a bad size campground, quiet nights (but this could be because 3 out of the 4 sites right near us were empty), free hot showers that are not dirty, lots of trails on edge of the grounds, lots and lots of tent sites, platform on campsite, pool and playground available, camp store, bike & Segway trails, quick access to some of NH’s most beautiful mountains. Staff is friendly. Cons: So many roots all over the sites, the platform did not fit our tent for 12 on it. More of the sites have very little separation from the neighboring campers near you. We explored the grounds & noted some sites that were a smidge more secluded and plan to return again sometime!

    Peaceful and great location

    We enjoyed this campground! The staff upon arrival was so nice. It was so quiet at night! Got to walk to hike Gunstock. Wished there was a restaurant within walking distance. But not a show stopper. We will be back!

    Gunstock Campground

    Cute campground, wooded sites are limited.

    This campground overall is very nice. The camp store has most everything you could need, and the campground is gated so you have to make sure you keep your key card with you whenever leaving in order to get back in. Most of the sites are out in the open though, or very close together. Not so bad if you're camping in trailers or RVs, but if tent camping you won't really have any privacy in those locations. I recommend the sites back in Breezy Knolls (K01-K17 I think?) and then I believe sites 203 and 205 were nice and tucked away in the trees as well. There is a zip line course and a metal "slide" or coaster behind the Breezy Knolls area which can get kind of noisy between the sounds of the gear and the kids screaming. Lol. But it didn't really bother me personally. The wooded area back there is beautiful though so the sites definitely made up for it. Campground has a fenced in dog park, playground, showers, clean bathrooms, and laundry facilities. Would definitely camp here again. I just prefer the wooded/shaded tent sites...which are limited at this place.

    Gunstock Campground

    4.7 stars

    Fun place! The mountain coaster and chairlift were great for the little ones and the ziplines are epic! They give discounts to campers. We stayed in 255, which was really nice, wooded, and right by the creek. Site 254 next door us easily the best trailer site in the entire place. It is huge and has two levels and tons of creek frontage. These two sites are nestled in a quiet tent area. The grid RV area was not very impressive, but all of the tent sites in the woods were really cool. The open field rv area was really exposed but close to amenities. Our family stayed in the cabins and they are nicely situated for privacy. Rustic and no AC or bathrooms but clean and nice little porch. The pool was nice, two excellent playgrounds, and everything well kept. You get your own keycard for the gate. Epic views from top of mountain!

    This is an awesome campground! Lots to do with a nice pool and lots of land to walk the dogs. Seasonal camping is better here.
