Best Equestrian Camping near Buffalo, WY

31 Reviews

Battle Park Trailhead provides essential facilities for equestrian campers in the Buffalo area. The campground features several corrals, high lines, and a horse water trough fed by a nearby creek. Ample parking accommodates horse trailers, making this a practical base for riders. The campground primarily serves as a horse camp with infrastructure specifically designed for equestrian needs.

The campground features a scenic trail along Doyle Creek that turns into a loop through meadows and ponderosa pine forest. This quiet trail offers excellent riding opportunities directly from the campsite. Ten Sleep RV Park, about an hour's drive from Buffalo, provides horse-friendly accommodations with full hookups, clean facilities, and proximity to additional riding trails in the Bighorn Mountains.

    Circle Park Campground

    Great spot in the Bighorns with lots of options

    Circle Park is an awesome spot. It’s so close and easy to get to from Buffalo, and there are plenty of different spots so you can find something you like. Shaded areas, more sunny spots, more private or close to the road. My family and I stayed here for about a week in late July. Nice spot to go when it’s super hot in town.

    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.

    Circle Park Campground

    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.

    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.

    Battle Park Trailhead

    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.

    Ten sleep RV park

    Cute Little RV Park

    This horse friendly RV park is right outside the Bighorn Mountains, which offers beautiful views (check out Crazy Woman Canyon!) and recreational opportunities. They have a small grassy spot for tents. Clean bathrooms with showers and 24 hour laundry are available. It is right in the little town of Tensleep with a couple restaurants/bars and evening entertainment (when I stayed on a weekend, there was live music playing right down the road). The owner was very nice and accommodating.

    Circle Park Campground

    Great Dispersed Camping

    We stayed at the Circle Park Camp for two nights on our western US tour last summer. The site is about 20 miles west of Buffalo WY off Highway 16. You take circle park road north and the campsites are in and along the tree lines. We opted for a beautiful open site between to wooded areas. The pictures don’t do it justice. It is an incredible site. The road going in is gravel and dirt with some rough areas. We observed deer and elk in the area which is popular with local hunters. The site does not have any facilities. So you need you need to pack everything into the site. The dispersed site has trailers, RVs, and vans. Some of the campers appear to be long term. The shear beauty of this spot makes it a good option for those who like dispersed camping and no camping fees. Not far from Cody WY which is a great place for fly fishing rods and tackle.

    Ten Broek RV Park

    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.
