No horse-friendly campgrounds with equestrian facilities exist near Erwinna, Pennsylvania based on the provided data. The campground information shows accommodations for tent, RV, cabin, and glamping styles at various locations like Mountainview Campground, Spruce Run Recreation Area, and French Creek State Park, but none indicate horse corrals or specialized equestrian amenities. The JSON data specifically shows "NO horse-corral" for all listed campgrounds.
For equestrians visiting the Erwinna area, general camping options must be evaluated individually for horse accommodation policies. Mountainview Campground in Little York, NJ offers spacious, private campsites with drinking water and electric hookups. The terrain includes wooded areas and open fields that could potentially accommodate horses with proper permission, though no dedicated equestrian facilities are mentioned in reviews or amenity listings.
Spruce Run Recreation Area in Clinton, NJ provides waterfront sites with access to trails, though these are not specifically designated as bridle trails. The campground has large, flat sites that could potentially accommodate horse trailers with advance arrangements. Before planning an equestrian camping trip in this region, contacting campgrounds directly about their horse policies is essential, as none of the listed facilities explicitly market themselves as horse-friendly destinations or provide specialized equestrian amenities like corrals, stalls, or dedicated trailer parking.

Turkey Swamp Park
Really nice campground
Stayed three nights in a tent and enjoyed it very much. Sites have electrical hookups, shared water connections, large picnic table, and fire ring with adjustable grate. Electrical and water are at the outer edge of each site so you might want an extension cord and/or hose. Bathrooms are clean; showers have separate stalls but they’re clustered together (not the most private). There are hiking and biking trails, a lake, and archery park. Staff are friendly. Office is open through 9pm, and firewood, ice, and bait for fishing are available. Site C3 is in an okay spot; it’s close to the bathroom and laundry room, but also right next to the playground. We were able to visit the beach; easy 25 minute drive to Asbury Park.

Great lodging options and trails!
I've visited the MOC a bunch of times, and have taken training classes here also. There are campsites for tent camping, cabin stays where you can rent a whole cabin or rent a bunk in a cabin with others. There is a store as well as food options. It's a great place to visit whether you grab a meal, a bunk, or just take a hike. The Appalachian Trail crosses through here also.

Great Park
Beautiful park and very peaceful. Rangers are super friendly. This is exactly what camping should be.

Rock Ribs and Ridges 2026
We’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.

Quiet Park with a Tight Fit
We spent a weekend at French Creek State Park as our home base for the Chester County Balloon Festival. We stayed for 2 nights at a full-hookup paved site, which ran us $55.25 per night.
WHAT I LIKED:
-
Peace& Quiet: The state park itself was lovely, serene, and felt nice and spacious.
-
Prime Location: At just 30 minutes away from the balloon festival, this is the closest campground.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
-
The"Leveling" Challenge: We were at site#C-241, which had a pretty significant slope. It took a few boards under the rear wheels and fully extended jacks just to get us anywhere near level.
-
Tight Fit for Big Rigs: Even though there was plenty of open space behind our site, the actual driveway pad was too short to comfortably fit our motorhome and Jeep together. Compared to other state parks we’ve visited, the interior roads and layouts felt a bit on the tight side.
WOULD WE COME BACK?
- Probably. While the site geometry required a little extra setup muscle, it’s hard to beat the location if you're visiting the area or catching the balloon festival.

This is our 3rd time at this park, it is one of our favorites. Well maintained, very quiet. We stay in Loop A (full hookup) pet friendly. Sites are spacious, generally large but they are all back-in sites.

What to do
Paddling and fishing: At Spruce Run Recreation Area in Clinton, NJ, visitors can enjoy water activities on the reservoir. "You can bring a camper, tent, or use one of the cabins.
