    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Pony Express Stables accommodates horse camping year-round near Sequatchie, Tennessee, with three campground sites offering water and electric hookups for horses and their owners. Located approximately 30 miles from Sequatchie Valley, this equestrian campground provides level terrain ideal for trailer parking and tent camping. Both Twisted South Stables and the nearby Fall Creek Falls State Park welcome riders with facilities for overnight stays. The gravel access roads leading to these campgrounds require vehicles with adequate clearance, particularly during wet weather conditions. Most horse-friendly camping areas in the region feature fire pits and picnic tables positioned away from the horse areas to maintain cleanliness. Tent campers and RV owners share access to the equestrian sections, with multiple fire rings available for group camping.

    Direct access to scenic bridle trails begins at several horse campgrounds within an hour's drive of Sequatchie. The extensive trail networks connect to Wildlife Management Areas where riders can explore varied terrain suitable for different skill levels. Water access for horses is available at Davis Pond, making it a popular stop for trail riders needing to water their animals. Reservation requirements vary by location, with Twisted South Stables requiring advance booking while some primitive horse camping areas operate on a first-come basis. Horse owners traveling to the area should bring portable corrals or highlines as permanent stalls are limited at most locations. The trails near Walls of Jericho provide challenging riding opportunities with significant elevation changes and multiple creek crossings, making them best suited for experienced riders and well-conditioned horses. Riders planning an extended stay will find that several equestrian campsites near Sequatchie permit multi-night bookings, allowing time to cover the full breadth of connected trail systems across the region.

      Walls of Jericho - Clark Cemetery Backcountry Campsite

      Great backpacking

      The walls of Jericho are an incredible site to see if you are willing to make the backpacking adventure to them. The hike in takes only about an hour and is all downhill. Park at either the Alabama or the Tennessee trailhead (make sure not to park at the horse trailhead earlier on the road) and descend down into the canyon. When you reach the bottom of the trail and cross a river there are several campgrounds that you can set up at. After getting settled keep following the trail back into the canyon and you will get to the first waterfall/pool. Don't stop there though cause the real view is the waterfall at the back of the canyon that takes a little scrambling to get to. While there recently with my wife we spent 2 nights camping at the horse campground and spent our full day doing a loop hike into Tennessee. The only thing you have to be cautious of is it can get pretty muddy if it has rained heavy recently. I would suggest going in spring cause that is when everything is blooming and so beautiful.

      Sawmill Lake Campsite

      Primitive camping perfect for Rocktown climbers

      If you’re looking for amazing scenery, this is not the place. It is, however, a free, primitive camping site just a short 5 min drive (or walk) from the Rocktown trailhead. The close proximity to the many wonders of Rocktown is a dream for climbers. Meant we could spend most of the climbing, rather than making a long approach. My group went for several days over thanksgiving 2018, and the weather was absolutely beautiful. Nights turned a bit chilly, so make sure to pack layers if camping in the fall or winter season. I think you’re technically supposed to have a Georgia outdoors permit to stay here (which we did), but we did not encounter a single ranger during our six-day stay. Check the Rocktown forum on Mountain Project for up-to-date info on permit requirements.

      The road leading up to the campsite is extremely rough and washed out. We were in a Subaru Outback, and it was a very slow-going, bumpy ride — we bottomed out several times.

      You can pretty much set up camp anywhere there’s open ground. Plenty of trees around for hammock camping as well. My group of 10 people had no problem finding open areas to set up camp together. There are several man-made fire pits, and plenty of wood and brush lying around to scavenge for fire-making. There are no water hookups, so make sure to pack plenty of water with you. There is also an area at the campground for equestrian camping, though we didn’t check that out, as, alas, none of us had horses.

      Davis Pond Campsite

      Away from it all

      Down a long and winding (and dusty) gravel road into the WMA is the Davis Pond camp site, a real gem with shady trees and a fishing pond. 

      This lightly developed site has two picnic tables, and two lantern posts near the tables. However, it can easily accommodate many more campers in the space and has multiple dirt-and-rock fire pits.

      While there is a two-station pit toilet, it's a bit of a horror show with a lot of trash accumulating in the structure. Another downside, after I set up my tent I noticed that some hornets were flying into a nearby dead tree. I quickly moved to another spot but luckily noticed it before it got dark.

      There's a gravel parking lot with a trail map and sign in sheet right next to the camping area. 

      In addition to the multiple trails (for hiking, ATVs, and horses) closer to the entrance to the WMA (and far from the camp) is a shooting range.

      Rvino - The Broken Banjo

      Relaxing but small spaces

      Pros: The staff are all incredibly friendly. We loved interacting with them (especially Eric!) during our stay. The laundry and bathrooms are very clean and spacious. The staff will come around and collect your trash for you (which isn’t necessary but a nice plus!) The location is directly off the highway and close to stores if you need a late night run for anything. The dog park was cute and offered a lot of extras. The heated pool was nicely taken care of and would be fantastic for the summer season. The camp store had lots of necessities and cute decor plus a dvd rental library and a pizza place onsite!

      Cons: There was a massive cell phone tower within walking distance from our RV. Literally on the property of the RV park behind their utility shed and next to the playground. The highway traffic is quite loud. The campsites are very close together! The playground and fun type amenities in the back of the park weren’t kept up very well it seemed. A lot of the stuff was missing or broken.

      Walls of Jericho - Clark Cemetery Backcountry Campsite

      Great for groups

      This is one of the larger campsites available at Walls of Jericho and definitely the easiest to find. I have stayed here a couple of times and always enjoyed it. The one downside to this site is that it can get somewhat flooded after heavy rains. It can also get fairly crowded since there are multiple firepits and tent clearings not far apart from each other. This is definitely the best site if you have a large group or want to be able to set up multiple tents. It is also at an easy access point to the falls as well as the other trails in the area. The site has easy access to water most of the year and can provide space for over 10 tents. If it seems crowded and you want more privacy though you can turn left off the trail and walk a short ways to the horse camp which is more secluded and removed from the trail. My last suggestion is that if you are here on a clear night head out to the field abutting the site and enjoy some stargazing!

      Fairview Campground — Tims Ford State Park

      Fairview better than Tim’s Ford

      Some really nice sites on lake and shaded. Inner sites are nice as well and have sewer. Good space between sites. 30 and 50 amp. The old section that was for yearly rental is gone. Big plus because these are nice sites as well. Restrooms and showers were clean but could’ve better. Great place for kayaking and swimming. Roads in park have couple of bad spots but they have been working on them. Need to enforce their dog lease rules. Again Tennessee should update this park. Get with it ! The potential is great.

      Fairview Campground — Tims Ford State Park

      Tim's Ford State Park/Fairview Devil's Step

      A real nice park. Sparse on shade and level sites. Free wifi at sites, but spotty at times. Gravel drives & pads with water & electric at sites. Our site #28 had an exceptional view out the kitchen window & from the pinic table of the lake. Newer shower house centrally located. Fairview/Devils Step is the newer campground & so designed for larger rigs.

      Fairview Campground — Tims Ford State Park

      Great lakefront campground

      We stayed in lot 59 which while not lakefront, it’s situated in a triangular spot right at the entrance with plenty of space for full setup. Picnic table and campfire grill also on site. Bathhouse was clean and the dogs had plenty of shoreline to run on. Would return!
