Best Equestrian Camping near Huntington, UT

34 Reviews

Swinging Bridge Equestrian Campground provides dedicated sites for horse owners near Huntington, Utah. The campground features six large sites with green steel corrals specifically designed to accommodate horses and riders. Each site includes metal fire rings and picnic tables. The campground has vault toilets but does not provide water for humans or horses, requiring visitors to bring their own supply. Located along the San Rafael River, the area offers excellent trees for hammocks and access to swimming holes. The campground remains quiet at night with minimal road noise, creating a peaceful atmosphere for both horses and campers.

The San Rafael Swell region surrounding Swinging Bridge offers extensive trail riding opportunities through scenic canyon country. Hard gravel roads provide good access for horse trailers, with ample parking available at each site. The campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the Buckhorn Wash area and Little Grand Canyon overlook. Visitors must pack in all necessary supplies and pack out all waste, as there are no dumpsters on site. The dog-friendly BLM campground costs $15 per night with a limit of two vehicles and up to ten people per site. Half-price discounts are available for National Parks/Interagency Pass holders. The deep canyon setting provides an immersive experience with massive rock walls surrounding campers rather than just offering views from above.

    Manti-LaSal National Forest Potters Pond Campground

    Awesome Mountain Getaway!

    We were blown away at how tranquil and beautiful the surroundings are at Potters Pond Campground. The abundant trees and brush truly make one feel like they are a million miles away from home. The journey to the campground starts at Millers Flat Road which is a dirt road that is for the most part well groomed/maintained. It is very bumpy, but can be done with most vehicles. We were towing our 24' TT so we were going slow. It is about 8.3 miles of dirt road to the campground from UT 31. The sites are spaced far enough from each other which gives you plenty of room to spread out and relax. The short walk to the pond is easy and you will appreciate the stillness of the water. Most people were either fishing or enjoying the pond on a row boat. Not 100% sure if the pond is okay to swim in as there are no signage and the presence of blue algae is apparent. Potters Pond is part of the USDA national forest and is wide open and plenty of trails to hike/bike. The campground is adjacent to the Appain Trails where one has access to 300+ miles of off-road enjoyment. 

    The campground does not have any potable water or any services. There are vault toilets spread out throughout the grounds. Also, there are no dumpsters....so what you bring in, you have to take with you. The campground is situated above 9000ft elevation so the days are mild warm and the nights can be cool to cold. If you're looking for solitude and nature, this is the place to go!

    Black Dragon Pictograph Panel Dispersed

    Basic camping near Black Dragon pictograph

    Access to this is a bit tricky as you need to take a gate from the interstate. It isn't your typical interstate exit. On the eastbound lane you've then got to drive under the interstate which there is a underpass there that they put a concrete ramp in the wash to make it possible to drive through. Most passenger cars can make this route. The campground itself is very basic there's no water there's no toilets. But it is less than a mile from the black dragon pictograph panel and that is the big plus for it. Note that driving in from the west is an extremely rough road that requires a four-wheel drive high ground clearance vehicle and some skill.

    Sheep Creek

    Great group site convenient from the highway

    Easy to find, large open field for camping with views in all directions. Better for RVs and self contained vans as there were no amenities or even privacy, it was still large enough that we had plenty of distance between us and any other parties. Quiet and serene on a Sunday night, but it appeared to be a staging ground for ATVs so I imagine it could get loud over the peak weekend days. Our dogs loved having a romp in the adjacent field after a long day in the car.

    Sheep Creek

    Open spaces

    Easy to find and accessible. There is a sign on the highway Sheep Creek. This is open range so you might see some cattle. I am sure you will see some cow patties so watch your step. As you come up the road you will cross a cattle guard continue up hill and you will turn left shortly. There are several sites some with fire rings. No services. Has a nice wooden fence around the site. The first of Nay and we have snow capped peaks for our view. Verizon is great with our wee boost. How many times do you have to be asked. THE PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT. Our fire pit had about five pounds of broken bottles burned food that smelled and cans. People glass food and cans will not magically evaporate in a camp fire. Doesn’t get hot enough. Please take care of our public lands.

    Very nice…very open

    This spot was much easier to find off I-70 since it’s associated with an exit. No gates to find. It was still 98 degrees at 8pm when I stopped, but no humidity and totally tolerable. Had the place to myself. Would absolutely stop here again.
