Limited equestrian camping options exist near Raymond, New Hampshire. Based on available data, campgrounds in the region typically do not have dedicated horse corrals or equestrian-specific amenities. Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park in Derry spans 1300 acres with 300 RV sites and full hookups, but does not offer horse facilities. Gunstock Campground in Gilford provides 250 camping sites with a variety of accommodation types including tent sites, RV spaces, and cabins, but similarly lacks horse-specific accommodations. Most sites have water and electric hookups with restrooms and showers available.
Trails for horseback riding can be accessed in the broader region at state parks and forest lands, though riders need to trailer horses to these locations from campgrounds. Ramblewood Cabins and Campground offers spacious sites with views but no dedicated equestrian facilities. The wooded sites at Gunstock provide more seclusion and are located near hiking trails and mountain activities. Horse owners camping in the Raymond area should contact campgrounds directly regarding horse trailer parking options and nearby public lands that permit horseback riding, as most established campgrounds prioritize general camping amenities rather than equestrian-specific facilities.

GuideFairly extensive camp ground associated with Gunstock ski area on central New Hampshire. We arrived without a reservation a bit after the office closed, but Elena, the manager came out to let us in and allowed us to check in. She was great. Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine. Very nice showers. Beautiful fall colors.
GuideI 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.
RangerPros: 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!
TravelerWe 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!
GuideThis 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.
LegendFun 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!
GuideThis is a ski resort trying to make money in the summer. The campground feels like an afterthought. Facilities were not clean Or modern. There are 2 small bathhouses for 250 sites and they are right next to each other in the middle of the campground. Sometimes only one would be open. We camped in the BW area which is just a field. Other areas have many sites very close together. We left 2 days early.
GuideThis is an awesome campground! Lots to do with a nice pool and lots of land to walk the dogs. Seasonal camping is better here.
TravelerLarge campsites, clean amenities, nice dog park, great store with everything you need and located near like Winni.
Equestrian camping opportunities in the Raymond, New Hampshire area are limited but accessible within driving distance. For horse owners seeking camping accommodations, most established sites require trailering to nearby riding areas rather than offering on-site equestrian facilities. The region's terrain includes dense northeastern woodland with elevations generally between 200-400 feet, creating varied riding conditions throughout the seasons.
Explore mountain trails: Gunstock Campground serves as a practical base for accessing nearby mountain trails. According to Marc D., it's a "fairly extensive campground associated with Gunstock ski area in central New Hampshire" with "beautiful fall colors" that make autumn rides particularly scenic.
Combine golf with camping: Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park spans 1300 acres with recreational activities beyond riding. Shawn C. notes it has "fishing and swimming on property along with a club house," making it versatile for groups with mixed interests.

Wooded seclusion: Melissa B. recommends specific sites at Gunstock: "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." These locations offer more privacy for campers with horses.

Hookup logistics: Utilities placement can impact campsite functionality with horse trailers. A visitor observed "water and electric were between our site and the next on one side and sewer between our site and the one on the other side. This made it difficult to place our trailer."
Adventure activities: Families can enjoy additional activities between rides. Kasey H. says Gunstock "has pretty spacious sites, they have an aerial obstacle course and a mountain coaster, places to swim, music festivals, hiking, etc."
Pet requirements: Important for horse owners who bring dogs too. One camper notes, "Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine" at Gunstock, so keep vaccination records handy for all animals.
