Best Equestrian Camping near Limaville, OH
West Branch State Park Campground features bridle trails for equestrian use and a designated horse camping area separate from the main campground. The equestrian camping section provides primitive facilities with room for horse trailers and access to riding trails. Recent visitors note that the park has begun allowing tent campers in the horse camping area alongside equestrian campers, creating potential safety concerns with children running around horses. Horse campers should be aware that the equestrian area does not offer the same amenities as the main campground, lacking electricity and water hookups that are available in other camping loops.
The bridle trails at West Branch connect to approximately 20 miles of shared paths open to horses, hikers, and snowmobilers in winter months. Riders enjoy access to varied terrain and wooded areas throughout the 5,000-acre park. Camping in the equestrian section requires bringing all necessary horse equipment as facilities are basic. Two camp hosts are available in the horse camping area to assist visitors and provide information about safely sharing the space. For equestrians seeking more amenities, the park offers opportunities for day-use trail riding while staying at the full-hookup sites in the main campground, though horses are not permitted in those areas. Water access for horses is available at several points along the trails.
