Top 8 Equestrian Campgrounds near Enterprise, UT

Lits of space between campsites nice little reservoir also have campsites for horses

Very quiet campground and felt like we were alone. Can’t see other sites. Horse stables away from tents and didn’t smell at all. Restrooms really clean. Can’t wait to go again

If you want to have a reserved spot then this is a great place. It does take 40min to get to Springdale and about 4-5 miles of that is on a packed dirt road which we had to go fairly slow on. We were in a 2WD VW Jetta sport wagon, we made it, just had to go slow. Sites have plenty of space between them so you’re not on top of other people. Amazing view of canyon and stars. Port-a-potty’s were fairly clean. Each site had a fire ring. We got caught in high winds one day/night that nearly blew our tent down and covered everything in a thick layer of dust so beware. The dirt roads in the campground kick up a ton of dust when people drive by. No water, no showers, no cell reception either and we have Verizon. A guy on a horse came around to check if you had a reservation or not. That was the only type of check-in or out process there was.

I'd recommend this as an early spring camp outing. The temps climb quickly in Southern Utah in late spring. My kids had a blast in the sand dune area.

2.5 mike hike in, 300 ft elevation gain, easy trail to beautiful overlook of southern Utah. Camp is a sandy open area next to the overlook and cliffs of Snow Canyon State Park. Free to camp. Great for backpackers!

We stayed here after visiting Zion National park. The drive to this site was absolutely beautiful. The sunset over the mountains was breath taking. Our site was fully equipped with a fire pit, grill, picnic table and tent pad. The loop had a bathroom and running water. The host was there to help us find our spot and purchase firewood. Very friendly! Great place to stay in Western Utah.

Snow Canyon is a still relatively unknown place near St George, Utah. There is SO much to do around there and there are great hikes that leave from this campground which makes it even better. Padres canyon and three ponds are two of my favorites. There is rocks to climb on right around the site and lots more trails within a 5 minute drive. There are great restrooms, large group areas that include a pavilion which is always helpful when it is pouring rain while you are trying to eat with a large group.

Toquerville Falls Utah. BLM area. Free off grid camping. Cool place to see. Lots of off road, 4 wheeler/side by side, dirt bike, Hiking to do in the area. This is NOT a 2 wheel drive adventure to see a water fall. It’s strictly 4 wheel drive only. Hike it first to end don’t ruin your vehicle for this. Steep. Slick. 2 ft rock boulderings straight drop offs and roads cut towards them. If too slick see ya. Trust. Walk it. 4wd is ok. 3.5 miles takes 45min slow Mo style. So walking speed? Almost. Walk it no 2wd.

Zion National Park lives up to its rating. This has to be one of the beautiful places in Western United States. The drive in from the Eastern entrance is simply incredible and full of epic photo ops. Zion reminds me of Yosemite Valley in some ways. The park is located near some large population areas in Southwest Utah and Nevada. So it can get very crowded at times, especially give the limited capacity of the roadways and parking. So you will need to plan your visit carefully.

The campground is easily accessible and located along the shuttle routes. The campground views are some of the best we have seen during our travels. The facilities are very good and hiking trails runs through the camp. Like many National Parks, you will not have much privacy at your site but the views and the hikes more than make up for it. The focus here is tent camping but you can park a small van or camper in many of the sites. The visitor center and park staff were outstanding. We also enjoyed the diversity of visitors from around the world. It’s clear Zion and Southern Utah is on a lot of bucket lists. This camp is very popular and full most of the year. So you will need reservations and a plan to beat the traffic coming into the park. We are planning to come back and spend more time in this beautiful place.

The Narrows are gorgeous, and if you are ever in Utah I would highly recommend hiking here. It is a hike like no other. One of my favorite hikes I have ever done, and I have done a lot of hiking. We stayed at the Lower Narrows Camground, got up early in the morning and hiked the Narrows, and then came back to the campground and had some fun making smores and dinner. The campground is great, the spaces are a little small and it was pretty overcrowded. We knew going into it that it was going to be busy because it was next to the hike, so we werent surprised when we got there. We reserved our campsite 6 months in advanced. I would recommend this because when we got there all the spaces were filled. Very clean, and bathrooms on site. Loved being here, and cant wait to come back someday!

Last summer, during the pandemic I ventured out to Utah and camped at Zion NP in the South Campground. This is one of the largest and busiest park campgrounds that I've stayed at. Even with this, it felt wild and comfortable. Like all NP's there are bathhouse facilities, but no shower areas. See below for informative on this.

My site was directly on the Pa'rus Bike Trail, which was perfect for my riding through the park. The trail runs along the river and eventually up into the scenic drive into the actual park.

The views are spectacular during the day, and even better at night. I had a fantastic view over the bluffs of the stars and was able to get some great Milky Way shots. There are tons of night hikers that you can watch going along the Watchman Trail on the eastern side of the river...little dots of light dancing along the bluffs and ridges.

It is a 7 mile cycle ride up the drive to the entrance to the Riverside Trailhead and The Narrows. The bike ride has a long steady climb of 500 feet. This sounds daunting, but I made the ride on 3 occasions in 2 days. Early morning is best when it's hot out. You have to follow the posted cycle rules when riding up. Coming down can be exciting as you don't have to pedal for almost the full 7 miles. Stop along the way to see some of the Vistas you will not see if you are on the shuttle.

There is no recreational driving on the drive once you are past the Zion Lodge. You do have to watch for the busses and shuttles. And take plenty water and snacks if you plan on exploring the trails.

The campground is also located very near the town of Springdale. This is the location for Zion Outfitters, which is also where you can do the pay showers and laundry. The showers are located in the basement of the store and are controlled by tokens that can be purchased from the store, or at a kiosk at the entrance to the shower area.

There are several grocery stores as well as gift shops located in town. Bicycles are the main mode of transport for many people camping around the area. Eating out is quite easy as there are dozens of very delicious restaurants. My personal favorite is Sol Foods, a local grocery and deli. Their sandwiches are fantastic and the beer and wine selection is quite large and unique. I purchased several small meals from them to take on rides around town. There is always somewhere to stop and enjoy the view.

Check out the NPS.gov site for information on the shuttles into the park as well as the campground information. The area is very heavily traveled and there are tons of visitors, both camping and staying in the nearby hotels and lodges. Be prepared for slow travel by car through the town itself.

For drawbacks, I would suggest making sure your are prepared for the weather. I was there in mid September and the daytime temps were 95°-102°, with nights not going below 85°. There are few bugs in the majority of the park, however my site was in very close proximity to the Virgin River and did have the occasional small swarm of tiny flies.

Zion is one of the most beautiful parks I've been to. I would definitely recommend camping in the area, with the South Campground as my pick for where to stay. Reservations are required and you will need to book well in advance to make sure of a site as well as shuttle passes.

I camped at this site for a week during a trip to Zion National Park. It's a great place to stay with scenic areas, potable water, and vault toilets. Highly recommend for people planning to visit Zion during a highly trafficked time of the year when sites are few and far between (if you are willing to drive an hour and a half to the park).

I loved this campground. There is nothing better than waking up in such a beautiful area. I have nothing negative to say about our stay

love this place one of our favs

Gets cooler at night, great for the fire and sleeping. A nice break from the heat of the Valley. Has a gorgeous, peaceful stream running a very short walk from the sites. I spent most of my time walking through shaded woods along the stream and collecting water for boiling along with firewood. Can’t wait to go again!

The Dean Gardner loop is adjacent to the reservoir. No swimming but you can fish. Lots of big trees, so great for shady hammock naps.

This is a great place to camp or do a daytrip. Walking/bike path a little reservoir to fish in and a whole lot of shade trees.

This is an amazing campground with a creek that runs all along the east side of the campground that leads to a reservoir. We stayed in site 22, had a breathtaking sunset. Sites 19-23 you have to walk up to, which can be a hassle carrying heavy coolers and totes. But totally worth all the privacy. Cows and deer walk through the sites, it was really cool. They have vault toilets, no sinks but a water filling station. Also sell firewood at the site for $6 a bundle. Camp host take well care of this campground and are very nice. The closest store is about 20 minutes away but the steakhouse down the road sells ice. Was a life savor. We will definitely be return!

Beautiful campsite!! Sites are relatively close to one another and very well kept. Some cell service. Bathrooms clean. Definitely worth the drive into pine valley!

I was there many years ago it was lovely family dinner for. Main cabin big enough to accommodate a few differant

Beautiful campground under pine-trees near creek.

Came here for an evening bike ride and backpackers dinner to watch the sunset and see some stars. It was peaceful and beautiful! The 3 mile paved bike path is brand new and I enjoyed riding through the park.

Bathrooms were clean and the campground was full but seemed quiet and nice. I made some dinner at the picnic tables and only had to share the space with a squirrel. This is a good day use area but I’d definitely come back and camp here. It’s a well thought out park with well marked trails and information a long the way to make your hikes more interesting.

Cell service was okay (1-2 bars with Verizon). There’s drinkable water pipes too which was nice to fill my water bottles.

SCSP is amazing. We live about a 5 minute drive from the South entrance. We’ve lived in the area for 3 years now so we’ve hiked everything in Snow Canyon multiple times, but it’s gotten so popular that it’s hard to get a site without reserving pretty far in to the future. We are more spontaneous than we are planners so we are usually out of luck. But this time we got site 21, which is awesome, on Easter Weekend with no notice.. only because the corona virus was keeping non-locals out of the Park.

We did the tent sites. Excellent sites, though sites closer to the center of the canyon have zero shade. But well built, with a picnic table and grill, and leveled. Pretty little state park but...one bathroom was broken and the code they gave us for the women's showers didn't work. Very confused young man as my wife exited the man's shower.

We didn’t know. Didn’t see it posted. Gate closes by 10pm. They also didn’t answer the phone after 8pm when we called to let them know our arrival would be after dark. Darn the time change. But they were very nice once we got ahold of them for the trip back. This spot is gorgeous. Close to the road and folks do zoom down the 10mph road in the middle of the night - so its loud and would wake a light sleeper in a tent (or car like we got stuck sleeping in🙄). But the views of the white and red striated rocks were breathtaking. There were no biting bugs to speak of in late August, but it was super hot until about 11pm. It was just an overnight spot for us to get on our way and we can’t wait to come back in fall or spring with the bikes! Bathrooms were clean. No shower to speak of. Hook ups were good and dump station was easy. But spots are narrow. We had enough room for our driver side slide to go out but likely not a passenger side slide and not our awning. No need since there were covered picnic tables anyway. They were clean and the grounds were kept nice as well. Our kiddo had fun at the park and there was shady grassy spot for the dog.
