None of the campgrounds from the data provided appear to accommodate horses near Tarrytown, New York. The campground data shows three locations—Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, Stokes State Forest, and Ocquittunk in Branchville—but none feature horse corrals or equestrian facilities. All three campgrounds explicitly indicate "NO horse-corral" in their features list. Liberty Harbor RV Park primarily serves RV campers visiting New York City, while Stokes State Forest and Ocquittunk offer more traditional camping with tent sites, RV spots, and cabins.
Equestrians seeking camping with horses near Tarrytown would need to explore other options not represented in the provided data. The closest options in the dataset, Stokes State Forest and Ocquittunk, are approximately 60 miles west of Tarrytown and lack equestrian amenities. Neither location provides horse-specific facilities such as corrals, stalls, or designated equestrian camping areas. Reviews from campers at these locations focus on general camping experiences, lake access, and hiking opportunities rather than horseback riding or equestrian accommodations. Riders would need to contact local stables or equestrian centers separately for day-use riding options.

"We stayed at site #T007 is was a short walk from the car to the site, but so worth it for many reasons."
"The caping set up was nice and I enjoyed the proximity to available hikes in the area. The ‘lake’ however, was kind of a disappointment."
TravelerWe’re here for the Rock, Ribs, and Ridges festival and what a great experience! Make sure to bring a 50’ power cord as the hook ups are grouped together on telephone poles rather than at each individual site. As far as I know camping is only available during select events.
ScoutI love this location. Close to public transportation, great staff, and site security.
GuideWe stayed at a tent platform site in Shotwell camping area. The platforms could use a little maintenance as there were a few tie down hooks that were missing or corroded. The campsites are close around this loop that includes lean-tos, but not so close that you are bothered by your neighbors normal sounds. The bathroom is close and clean. There is a bear box at each campsite which gave peace of mind. Firewood is available for sale at the park office. The staff there is very welcoming. Great Jersey getaway with gorgeous hiking trails.
RangerVery plain & functional, no frills but right on the harbor & on the very edge of Jersey City, close to a ferry & the train that takes u across to New York City. Shopping & restraunts are right next door. We brought scooters & had a great stay! Plus you can see the Statue of Liberty from there!
ScoutGave us a welcome folder with lots of helpful info, can walk to get food up the street, short drive to Liberty Park where we got out and walked at night to admire the city skyline and Statue of Liberty at night. They have hook ups and big laundry room.
GuideThere are four campgrounds that are all pretty different, we stayed at Shotwell across from the pond. For the most part, each campsite has its own porta potty or it shared with a couple other sites. At the entrance of the campground, there is a bathhouse with running water, bathrooms, and potable water. We stayed in one of the RV areas across the pond. It was peaceful to hear the frogs chirping at night, but definitely didn’t think about how many more bugs the pond would bring, probably wouldn’t stay at that specific spot again even though it’s really pretty. Most of the campsites were very rocky, but you can find some that have a little bit of grass. We came on a Friday night. Everyone was up pretty late, but was not crazy loud. The rest of the weekend it seemed like everyone’s simmered down. The campground was full of mostly families. If you wanted to shower, you would have to head to the group campsite not too far but you need to drive. We don’t typically expect to have a campgrounds with a ton of amenities. Potable water and a toilet is really all we need. Overall, it was a great time gorgeous park. Also took a few pictures of the cabins in Shotwell. I wouldn’t personally rent one, but I guess if your winter camping it has a little fireplace and will keep you dry and somewhat warm.
LegendThis is a pricey park, but options are limited. As in almost non existent. This is a prime location for visiting the city or heading down the shore. The light rail is a block away, and the path train is about 8.
Staff is average, as this is not meant to be high end. They are nice but a bit rough. We had some issues with our converter and they wanted to extort a 20% commission to allow our repair man in. A bit of logical conversation put that idea to sleep. Sites kind of level and very close. Power and water, and convenient dump station if staying and needing to dump. The bath house was above average and heated. The laundry was helpful and was acceptable. Having a view of Lady Liberty out your window is priceless.
Getting in and out of the city is an adventure. Stay right off the highway to avoid the $30 tunnel toll. Follow RV life pro and not Waze.
TravelerStokes is my go-to state park for unplugging and enjoying time with my family. We brought our son (23 months at time of visit) on his first camping trip this past September. He loved every minute of it.
Site T07 in Lake Ocquittunk is gorgeous and one of the few relatively secluded sites in the campground. You need to carry your gear down a narrow, rocky path that's a little steep near the road, but it's manageable. There's also a graded path into the site adjacent to a neighboring site, but you should check with those campers if they are ok with you cutting through to use it. (We opted not to disturb our neighbors and take the slope.)
I thought I would be able to launch my kayak from site 7 since it's waterfront, but there are a lot of huge rocks in the water that prevent you from getting out into the lake. We had to find a different launch spot. That was probably the biggest disappointment for us.
Still, I love site 7 and it's absolutely worth the privacy and the views every morning.
GuideStokes State Forest is a beautiful park with a lot of different trails to check out, though some of them are difficult to access due to parking. The camping areas are split between two different entrances. If you’re in Lake Ocquitunk, like I was, you don’t enter at the main entrance, you have to go past the main entrance about another mile on rt. 15 N. and enter by the YMCA. All the other camping areas are near the main entrance by the forest office. The campsites themselves are a little too close together in some spots with little coverage or privacy. There is a day parking area which is only accessible going through the main entrance by the forest office— if you visit during the week park entrance is free, but on the weekend fees can be a bit steep. I wasn’t super happy with my campsite as I wasn’t able to physically have my car on the site like I thought. I had to park in a small lot above my campsite and carry my belongings down a short slope to the site. I like to car-camp so this was a bit of a let down having my car separate from my actual campsite.
The bathrooms were nice and had flush toilets, but the showers were out of service during my time. Bathrooms are extremely spaced out so you will have to walk a far distance unless you strategically choose a site next to one. I drove through the other campsite and only saw 1 set of bathrooms that had toilets and showers per campground, not including the outhouses I saw for those in the small cabins.
Liberty Harbor RV Park is the primary camping option within 25 miles of Tarrytown, New York, located in Jersey City. Most campgrounds require traveling 60+ miles from Tarrytown to northwestern New Jersey. Terrain in the region transitions from Hudson Valley flatlands to increasingly mountainous areas heading west, with elevations rising over 1,500 feet near the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border.
Hike mountain trails: Stokes State Forest offers 21 marked trails covering over 63 miles, including 12 miles of the Appalachian Trail. "We went in November when there was a light rain that turned into a thunderstorm with hail and sleet! It was certainly an adventure," notes one Stokes State Forest visitor who enjoyed the varied terrain.
Fishing opportunities: Cast a line in Lake Ocquittunk where the water is exceptionally clear. "Clear streams and lake. Stunning overall," reports a camper at Ocquittunk. The area offers both lake and stream fishing within walking distance of campsites.
Explore NYC: Use Liberty Harbor RV Park as your basecamp for city adventures. "This is a great spot with views of Manhattan, Statue of Liberty, etc. Expect to pay pretty good to be near, but from here you can pretty much easily get anywhere in NYC," writes one reviewer who found the location convenient despite the price.
Lake views: Campers appreciate waterfront sites at Ocquittunk. "We stayed at site #T007 is was a short walk from the car to the site, but so worth it for many reasons. The site itself is huge and we were able to position our tent facing the lake, it was beautiful!"
Transportation access: Visitors to Liberty Harbor RV Park value the transit connections. "There is a ferry 100-yards away that takes you to Wall Street M-F. There is a great market about 1/4 of a mile away, and the path that can take you to WTC or 33rd Street area is only a mile away," notes one camper who found city access convenient.
Fire tower views: For panoramic vistas, climb to the fire tower in Stokes. "After packing up we drove down the road and were able to get in a nice 5 mile hike up to the fire tower," reports a visitor who enjoyed the moderate trek to this lookout point.
Equestrian camping limitations: None of the campgrounds within 60 miles of Tarrytown provide horse facilities or corrals. Equestrians seeking camping with horses near Tarrytown should contact local stables separately for day-use options.
Rustic cabin options: For those wanting shelter beyond tents, Stokes State Forest offers basic cabins. "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend," writes a winter visitor who appreciated the wood stoves during cold weather.
Primitive camping areas: Some sections of Stokes are more basic. "The Steam Mill Camping Area is tucked out the of the way and is the most primitive. It is the smallest of the campgrounds with 27 sites only suitable for tents or small trailers/campervans." The site offers pit toilets and water wells rather than full facilities.
Wildlife awareness: Teach children about local wildlife safety protocols. "Remember, this is bear country so proper food storage is a must. Bear lockers are not provided. The area also has ticks and rattlesnakes," advises a Stokes visitor.
Covered picnic areas: During inclement weather, utilize sheltered eating spaces. "One big positive was the covered picnic area which was a nice place to bring food and eat and hang out during the day to get out of the sun," notes a visitor to Ocquittunk who appreciated this feature during a summer visit.
Bathroom proximity: Choose sites near facilities when camping with children. "Bathrooms and shower were all single stall and very clean, only a 5 min walk from our site. Two water sources nearby as well," shares a camper who found the Ocquittunk facilities well-maintained and accessible.
Limited hookups in forest settings: State forest campgrounds have minimal services. "None of the sites had hookups, but the sites are a good size," reports one RV camper who found the space adequate despite the lack of utilities at Stokes.
RV parking lot experience: Set realistic expectations for urban camping. "It is just a gravel parking lot, with water and electricity. There is a dump station, but not the easiest to use," explains a visitor to Liberty Harbor RV Park who still found the location worthwhile for city access.
Site selection for privacy: Choose end sites for more space. "Pick one of the larger end row sites to get a little extra elbow room. If it's packed, your neighbor with be within inches of your rig," advises an RVer who stayed at Liberty Harbor.
