Best Equestrian Camping near Millcreek, UT

Based on the data, there are no campgrounds near Millcreek, Utah that specifically offer horse-friendly facilities such as horse corrals, dedicated equestrian campsites, or stalls. None of the campgrounds in the dataset indicate "horse-corral" as an available feature. Several campgrounds do allow pets, but this is distinct from equestrian-specific accommodations. The closest options for equestrian camping would require traveling to other regions in Utah known for horse-friendly camping facilities.

Mountain Shadows RV Park in Draper allows pets but does not have designated horse facilities. While the park offers full hookups, showers, and a convenient location approximately 15 minutes from Millcreek, it lacks equine accommodations such as corrals, wash stations, or trailer parking specifically designed for horses. The RV sites accommodate large vehicles, potentially suitable for horse trailers, but reviews indicate the sites are quite close together, which could present challenges for equestrians.

Other campgrounds in the surrounding area, including Silver Lake Backcountry, Granite Flat, and Kimball Campground, offer access to trails and natural settings that might appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, but none specifically advertise equestrian facilities. Backpackers visiting Silver Lake must hike in at least half a mile from the trailhead, making it impractical for those traveling with horses. The rugged access roads to these areas, particularly the water crossing required to reach Kimball Campground, present additional challenges for horse trailers. Trail riders seeking equestrian-friendly campgrounds would need to explore options beyond the immediate Millcreek vicinity.

    Timpooneke

    Amazing campground a short drive from the city

    This campground is well maintained and nestled into some nice pine trees in view of the backside of Mount Timpanogos, it is divided into 3 areas, one of which has horse corrals. While there are many campgrounds in Utah that rival it, this one is special because it's such a short drive after work.

    Soldier's Pass Utah Backcountry

    Near Utah Lake Backcountry

    Soldier's Pass Utah Backcountry

    Good in a pinch, but shouldn't be your first option

    It's not great. Next to a shooting range and orv trails, so you'll hear that. Shrubs and a few small trees dominate the landscape, so there isn't much privacy. Roads were bumpy, but manageable. Access depends on where you go, Several paths to take w other sites. Lots of trash. Rock fire pits. Amazing views of the mountains behind Provo and Utah Lake. Full cell service w At&t. Free!

    Clover Springs Campground — Salt Lake Field Office

    Pretty spot with big sites

    Pretty spot that smells like juniper and has a nice creek.

    Minus a star for no running water and proximity to a busier road. I was the only camper on a chilly Wednesday night but had a surprising amount of traffic which woke me up a few times (my site was about 40 feet from the road).

    Sites are nicely spaced, especially the equestrian sites at the top of the campground.

    Full bars on Verizon. Small pit toilets. Clean and well kept overall.

    Dispersed Camping--Mill Hollow/Utah FR054

    Peaceful National Forest Dispersed Camping

    Over Memorial Day weekend, my husband and I got away for a night and dispersed camp in the Unita National forest near the Mill Creek campground. We were planning to stay at the campground but it was closed, so we took advantage of free dispersed camping right outside. This is LNT(leave no trace) camping so be sure to pack out what you pack in. There are no amenities but you are along a water source so if you have a filter, you have water. All along the road there are open fields that can accommodate trailers and bigger parties then just a single tent. Near the campground (and the site we chose) is an outdoor education center which would be fun to go back and visit later in the summer. We really enjoyed camping here as it was peaceful and private (at least when we visited).  Later in the summer that may not be the case, especially close to the road. The biggest issue may be the road. My Mazda3 was able to make it up, but the road was quite rutted and rough and you had to go through a small runoff stream. If you have a lowered vehicle, you may have a tough time but anything with a higher clearance will do just fine. Overall, I loved exploring a new area that I will definitely return to.

    Bridger Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Amazing in the Right Season!

    One of our favorite state parks in Utah is only~45 minutes away from Salt Lake City! There are bison, antelope, deer, and many other animals that call this island home. On the west side of the island are extensive muds flats that give you one of the best sunset views in Utah. One of our favorite things to do on the island is hike Frary Peak which is the high point of the island. The top portion of the hike is a rocky scramble, but there are plenty of side trails to beautiful viewpoints during the hike. 

    As for the best season to visit the island, we are partial to winter due to the absolute lack of bugs and stunning contrast of the bison on fresh snow. Our 2nd favorite season is early spring before the bugs come out in full swarm! I wouldn't recommend visiting in late spring or summer as there are swarms of all kinds of biting bugs and the temps can be unbearable.

    Granite Flat (utah)

    Quiet, shaded area

    Quite area, lot of room. I stayed on site 58 (tent only). Enough room for 2 medium tents. Next/above stream. Tucked in very back. Long ways to walk from car. Water spout next to car area. Will be sharing parking with 2 other sites. 2 lakes nearby. Fire pit with grill gate. Shaded area. Full sun from 10am-4pm.

    White Rock Bay Campground — Antelope Island State Park

    Amazing Sunsets but no Shade

    Hands down the best campground for sunset views on all of Antelope Island!  The sunsets in the fall, and winter are the best as the bugs have gone down considerably and therefore you won't get eaten alive!  Hues of all different kinds of colors reflect off the perfect mirror surface of the Great Salt Lake and give you an endless sunset much like at the Bonneville Salt Flats.  I would have given this campground 5 stars if there was any shade whatsoever but there isn't any!

    This campground is pretty primitive in that there is no drinking water available and only vault toilets available with picnic tables and a fire ring at each campsite.  There are only 20 sites with 2 equestrian sites that go for 40$ a night.  The closest drinking water is at Bridger Bay Campground and there is also a grill on the island that is open during the summer.
