Best Equestrian Camping near Goose Prairie, WA

138 Reviews

Soda Springs Campground accommodates horse camping with separate equestrian sites that include picket lines for securing horses. The campground connects directly to the Cowlitz Trail system, providing extensive riding opportunities through the surrounding forest. Sites feature fire rings with grates and picnic tables, with vault toilets maintained throughout the camping season from May to September. The horse camping area remains relatively uncrowded even when other campgrounds in the region reach capacity, allowing for more secluded equestrian experiences.

Located approximately 4 miles from the main campground area, the horse camp section of Teanaway Campground offers direct access to multiple trail systems suitable for day rides. Large pull-through sites accommodate horse trailers with ample room for turning around. Free camping is available for up to 7 days with a Washington Discover Pass. The campground borders a frisbee golf course and provides river access along its southern edge. During peak season, equestrians should arrive early in the week to secure preferred sites as the campground fills quickly on weekends, particularly from June through August when wildflowers bloom throughout the surrounding meadows and hillsides.

    Keenes Horse Campground

    Horse Camp near Takhlakh Lake

    This horse campground is near Takhlakh Lake.  Its a small campground with about 6 sites and is first come first serve.  All the other campgrounds in the area were full, but this one was pretty empty especially since it was visible from the road.  I stayed twice over the summer and both times there were sites with horses in them.  It is right next to the road, but there was a large pot hole in the road so people had to slow down or risk damage to their cars.  The road all the way to the campground was very bad with holes, washouts, downed trees, huge dips, I recommend paying close attention when you are driving cause stuff will sneak up on you out of no where and low clearance cars could do damage.  The campground was next to the creek and had multiple horse trails leaving from the campground.   There were also a ton of wildflowers each time I went, since they are so high in elevation the wildflowers are still around into August.

    The drive to Takhlakh Lake is only about 8 miles and takes about 20-30 minutes.  Very easy day trip to enjoy the lake but then you can leave the crowds at the lake behind.

    Teanaway Campground

    Beautiful Campground in Forest

    Beautiful campground with several dispersed spots, most with picnic table and fire pit. There are walk in (50 to 100 feet walk) sites as well as horse camping sites. Pit toilets are clean, don’t smell, and have TP. Road in campground is in good condition with pretty new gravel. Large frisbee golf course borders campground to east. River runs along southern edge. Verizon 1-bar LTE on east side. WeBoost made it a very usable 3 bars. Starlink works too - most sites have good openings to sky.

    Sahara Creek DNR Horse Camp

    Nice campground

    Not sure why it says $30, this place is free WITH your Discover Pass, 7 day limit in a 30 day period.

    Vault toilets are pretty clean.

    There is NO trash here, pack it in, pack it out. Keep it clean. Lots of horses here which is enjoyable. An ADA trail is level for walking the dog.

    Shooting range is close by, doesn’t bother me but it’s pretty noisy. Can hear some highway noise, but again, hasn’t bothered me

    I depend 100% on solar. There is deep shade in all camp spots, I chose a fairly sunny spot, but it wasn’t enough to charge my batteries. Just a heads up.

    Will return if visiting rainier again :)

    Yakima River RV Park

    Charming and picturesque! Super friendly hosts

    I was so impressed with the organized check-in process, efficient simple paperwork, and welcoming feeling I got when we rolled up without a reservation. We were even "escorted" to our spot! There are lots of trees, cows and horses near by and it's super quiet, oh, except for the numerous freight trains than ran through the night. Bring ear plugs, problem solved. The grounds are immaculate; you can tell these people really care about this place. There's a gate to enter and exit so we felt very safe and there weren't random vehicles driving around. Beautiful rolling hills and open wheat fields made for a lovely bike ride. Definitely recommend this place!

    Roughing it is perfect

    23 May 2020 - you can drive to the "Y" intersection for the camp grounds and horse camp, but the snow was so deep that walking is the only option. Several car made turning around in the intersection difficult.

Great picket lines for horses in each site. Use caution, since there is an abundance of bear in the area. And cougar have been sighted around the area

    Packwood Lake

    Hike in camping

    This place is the best because the only way to get to the camping spots at Packwood Lake is to hike in or the use of ATV’s. The views are AMAZING, and it’s right next to the lake, however the water may be very cold. Fires are sometimes allowed dependent if there’s a burn ban or not. Horses are also permitted on this trail. And if you’d like to continue hiking there are several trails that lead to various locations. We make this a must do every year. During certain weekends and holidays it can get very busy however there are spots all around the lake.
