Best Equestrian Camping near Castle Dale, UT
Swinging Bridge Equestrian Campground provides six large campsites with green steel corrals for horses near Price, Utah. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring with vault toilets available for campers. The campground is situated along the San Rafael River with trees providing shade and hammock opportunities. No water is available for humans or horses, so visitors must bring their own supply. The campground accommodates both tent and RV camping with drive-in and walk-in access options. Roads are well-maintained hard gravel, making the area accessible for most vehicles towing horse trailers. The campground is clean with level ground for setting up camp.
The San Rafael River area offers swimming holes and good trail access for riders. Located in a deep canyon surrounded by massive rock walls, the campground provides a unique experience of staying within the canyon rather than overlooking it. The area connects to riding routes throughout the San Rafael Swell region. Camping costs $15 per night with a limit of two vehicles and up to ten people per site, with half-price discounts available for National Parks and Interagency Pass holders. The campground is dog-friendly but has no trash receptacles, requiring visitors to pack out all waste. Despite being in a canyon, the area experiences minimal road noise at night, though neighboring campers can be heard due to the open layout of the campground.
