Tips from RVers
Site selection: When bringing horses and RVs, site location matters. "I think the best sites are those located furthest back on the property near the field, where you can gaze up at the stars at night with an unobstructed view," advises Stuart K. about Double L Farms. These back sites typically provide more space for equestrian vehicles.
Hookup availability: Most equestrian-friendly sites offer basic services. "30/50 hookups and water. No sewer but very close dump station in campground," explains Sara M. about facilities at Cheraw State Park, describing the typical utility setup.
Access considerations: RVers with horse trailers should note campground layouts. "The regular sites are usually full, and very close, but the lake front sites are gorgeous and worth being close to neighbors," shares Trina W., indicating that waterfront locations may have space limitations for large equestrian rigs.
