Best Equestrian Camping near Big Horn, WY

28 Reviews

Battle Park Trailhead provides horse-friendly camping facilities in the Bighorn Mountains, with multiple corrals, high lines, and a dedicated horse water trough fed by a nearby creek. The campground accommodates horse trailers with ample parking specifically designed for equestrian visitors. This primitive campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets, and campers can choose between tent or RV sites. The campground primarily serves as an equestrian camp, making it ideal for riders wanting direct trail access. Visitors have reported seeing wildlife in the surrounding area while camping with their horses.

Trail access directly from Battle Park Trailhead connects riders to the extensive Bighorn National Forest trail network. Hunter Campground, also located in the region, permits equestrians to camp near their animals. The road leading to Battle Park can become rutted at times and is described as long and narrow in some sections, making two-way traffic challenging with horse trailers. Circle Park Campground, while not explicitly listed with horse corrals, offers dispersed camping opportunities along the access road where many visitors bring their horses and off-road vehicles. The surrounding mountain terrain provides scenic riding opportunities with beautiful mountain views throughout the trail system. Many equestrians visit these campgrounds as starting points for longer backcountry riding excursions.

    Doyle Creek Campground

    Beautiful Bighorn Mountains

    Small but beautiful campground located in the Bighorn Mtns of Wyoming. Off hwy 16 a little ways this campground is big on scenery if not amenities. Although tree covered they are rocky and small. However the equestrian area at the back has some beautiful spots.

    Hidden Gem

    We've stayed here a few different times, the last time being in May and the first in early August. There are some great dispersed sites throughout the road to get to this campground... Quite a few people bring their horses and/or off road toys. Great mountain views! Worth the trip every time.

    Horse park

    This camp is primarily a horse camp. There are several corrals and high lines as well as a horse water trough fed by a nearby creek. There is also ample parking for horse trailers.

    The road getting to the camp was pretty good but can get pretty rutted up at times. The road in is also really long and narrow in some spots. Which, makes two way traffic difficult.

    Circle Park Campground

    Cloud Peak Wilderness- Circle Park Campground

    This is a tiny campground in the Cloud Peak Wilderness area near the popular Circle Park Trailhead. There are only 10 sites that are bordered by aspen groves and meadows, with a few nice trees in each site. There’s a pretty little brook that runs across the back of the campground. The vault toilets were clean, each site has a picnic table and firepit with grill ring, and the campground hosts had firewood for sale. Because this is about a mile or so down a forest service road, it was really quiet. My neighbors saw a moose with twins on the edge of the meadow the morning I showed up, but I never saw them. However, the wildflowers and birds were plentiful. If the campground is full there is plenty of free dispersed camping along the road to the campground, and lots of people took advantage of that. The Circle Park trail is incredible, with a hike up to a great lake (several fellows were hooking decent sized fish). The campground is not far from the cute town of Buffalo, WY, home of the largest free public pool in the state.

    Nice

    Right by rodeo grounds. Owners are great. There is a small store, showers, cabins. Sites are on either side of small streets. (Best way I know to describe it) Sites are very close to each other. Trees all over. Park is on edge of town—great location.

    Little Goose Campground

    Worth The Drive But Beware…

    This campground is an amazing off grid location for those looking to escape for a little while. The directions in the description is correct, however the GPS coordinates are not, so I will try and fix that through Dyrt. I was able to cross reference the name of the campground with USFS maps on OnX to find the actual coordinates, this led us down a nice easy dirt road that eventually lead to a pretty rough Jeep trail. You wouldn’t want anything less than a stock Wrangler or equivalent to take this road. In our rig we bottomed out a few times, and by the time we made it to the campground we weren’t sure how we would make it out if it were to snow or rain.

    However, that being said, we had the whole campground to ourselves, in a beautiful creek filled with trout. A vault toilet with his and her designations was on site, and nice little hiking trails followed the river. It was a wonderful place to stay for a few days off grid.

    I would totally recommend this campground for anyone who is overlanding or has a camping setup that is capable of four wheel drive. There are about 3 sites available for truck and trailer (our trailer is 12ft and is the biggest I’d ever consider bringing down this trail, I will also note it has 33” off road tires and high clearance). As well as a number of tent sites, all with either rock fire rings or metal fire rings with cooking grates.

    We were able to crawl our way back out of the camp area after an overnight steady rain, we kept in in 4 low and made it safely.

    Circle Park Campground

    Easy Retreat into Nature!

    This is a review for the Campground, which costs to stay at. Currently the price is $20 per night and $10 per extra vehicle. A cash or check self-pay dropbox is available at the entrance. Firewood available for $6 a bundle at the host site. 10 sites total, there is a map at the entrance to show the sites. There is dispersed camping along the access road for free, and a separate Dyrt entry for that type of camping.

    The campground is about 3 miles off of paved road. The first 2/3rds of the dirt road was great, last little bit might get tricky after a rain. I can see this campground becoming muddy. With that said, my fwd vehicle made it with no issues. No electric or water hookups, but there is public drinking water and toilets. Cell service is 0-1 bar of 4G on Verizon on a good day, don't plan on having service. It's a no outlet loop road so there is some quiet traffic that ends at night, I saw about a dozen vehicles an hour on average during a beautiful Friday afternoon.

    As other reviews have pointed out, this is a great location for kids to explore and enjoy nature. A short hike quickly gets you away from any noise. The snow-covered mountains in the backdrop are truly stunning. The sites are mostly shaded and uneven, but there is a decent variation to choose from. There were 3 sites available mid-afternoon on Friday.

    Due to how easy it is to access, everyone should have this campground (or the dispersed camping along the road) on their to-visit list!

    Circle Park Campground

    Unreal

    Beyond stoked to have found this spot. Amazing dispersed camping. Was out in the first week of October and that’s all they allowed. Was able to have a nice fire and camp right next to a beautiful creek. The hikes and views around are unbelievable, totally worth the drive.
