Best Equestrian Camping near Moran, WY

199 Reviews

Sheffield Campground near Moran, Wyoming stands out among area campgrounds with its horse corral facilities. Located within the Bridger-Teton National Forest, this established campground accommodates tent and RV camping while providing dedicated space for horses. The campground features fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets. Pets are permitted throughout the grounds, and alcohol consumption is allowed within the campground boundaries. While Sheffield lacks hookups, drinking water, or shower facilities, its proximity to trails makes it particularly appealing for equestrians planning extended rides. Visitors often encounter horses meandering through the camping areas, especially during morning hours when trail rides typically begin.

Pacific Creek Campground offers additional horse-friendly camping options approximately 1 mile past the entrance to Bridger-Teton National Park. The area includes 8 dispersed campsites along Pacific Creek Road plus 6 official sites with metal fire rings, picnic tables, and bear boxes for food storage. The $10 per car camping fee provides access to vault toilets, which campers note are exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Trail riders benefit from several hiking paths that leave directly from the campground, providing immediate access to riding routes. Bear activity has been reported near the campground, so proper food storage and bear awareness are essential when camping with horses. The nearby outfitter provides guided trail rides for visitors without their own horses, and the campground host offers valuable information about local riding conditions and trail options.

    Turpin Meadow Campground

    Teton's booked up? This is a great option just out of the park

    Turpin Meadow Campground was a happy stumble-upon for us. We went to the Tetons and had no idea how crazy busy it would be, so were forced out of the park to find a place to stay. 

    Truthfully, this campground wasn't much, and was kind of difficult to get to (at least the way we went in). It fulfilled all that we wanted it to do though. A place to park our car and utility trailer for the night and wake up early to go into the park. There was water and vault toilets on site, so that was nice. 

    This is actually right next to (or apart of?) an equestrian park with lots of horses and horse corrals all around. It was truthfully a little spooky hearing the horses start to whinny in the middle of the night, but we got over that.

    Pacific Creek Campground

    Hidden Gem

    Stayed in mid-June when Yellowstone and Teton were brimming with tourists. We had booked a back-up RV spot near the south entrance to Teton, but after looking at it just filled our water there and left (it was basically an open field with 50 of your not best friends in RV's blasting music). Took a chance on Pacific Creek. All of the dispersed camping was taken, but the campground itself, which is at the end of the road, was about empty. For $10 we got a spacious site, table and fire ring. Water was available as were pit toilets. Looks like a great equestrian campground and we saw a few parties with horses. Make sure you make use of the bear boxes, as we saw plenty of bear prints and other sign within 200 yards of our site. Lovely trails leave right from here. The camp host is a Swiss ex-musician and all around nice guy.

    Sheffield Campground

    My favorite Yellowstone campground

    What a great campground. Primitive, but it does have a pit toilet, picnic tables and bear boxes. Most of the sites are in pretty wide open meadows. A few have more trees and there are horse corrals and two secluded sites next to them. We stayed in #3, one of the more treed sites with plenty of room for our tent, and loved it! The camp hosts were awesome! The place was spotless and they sold firewood for less than anyone else. We were only planning on staying one night, but liked it so much, we stayed 3! The Creek was right behind our site and was fun to check out. A commercial campground is next door that has horse trail rides. Great fishing in the river a short walk from the campground. Location is the gem here, being only 2.5 miles from the south entrance to Yellowstone and 10 miles north of Grand Tetons!  September was a great time to visit. No mosquitoes! It was cold at night (25  degrees) so plan accordingly! With high R-value pads and 0 degree bags we were toasty.

    Double Cabin Campground

    Great area, but suspect host

    Double Cabin Campground is a beautiful area, right next to the Wiggins Fork of the Wind River. Great fishing for brookies and cutthroat trout. There are corrals for horses nearby. There are plenty of places to camp off of the campground too. The only real issue is the camp host is aggressive with his duties. He visits often and even tells campers out of the campground nearby how to camp, maintain fires, and bear safety. Can be overbearing when trying to get away from it all. Other than than, this is a great area to spend time in. The pictures are from some of the just off campground area.

    Turpin Meadows Campground

    Turpin Meadows Dispersed Camping - A True Wyoming Experience

    A little ways off the highway comes a dispersed camping area near Turpin Meadows. There are nearby and accessible vault toilets and horse areas but for the most part, these camping spots are few and far between. There are several shaded spots without a view but that keep you free from the heat of summer and a couple more exposed spots that are very warm during the day but reward you with some incredible views. Easy access to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park as well as some great hiking in the area. Would definitely return!

    Trapper Lake Backcountry Camping

    Quiet and great views

    Need a backpack permit and reservation. It's a little over 4 miles to get to. Not a ton of foot traffic makes it that far so it's pretty quiet. Great view of Mt Moran. Trapper lake has some beavers and pretty mellow. On top of the hill at the site gives you another great view. There is a Bear Box for food storage here.

    Turpin Meadow Campground

    Great campground!

    Stayed here one night while bikepacking on the Tour Divide route.  Multiple sites were open and the camp hosts were very friendly.  They ensured I knew about the potential for bears and answered a few questions about the area.  Each site had a bear box.  There was a small herd of horses roaming with bells to deter the bears.  I was able to get food at the nearby lodge.  Very quiet, away from the traffic of the national park.   Great nights sleep and beautiful morning.

    Moose Creek Trailhead Dispersed Area

    Chilly in Sept

    Close to the Hwy over Teton Pass; but the last mile is clay road & (b/c of recent rain cell) it coated our vehicle. And, this is the trailhead; we encountered pack horses coming off the trail— they were quick to load & be gone. l””"””””We realized that the site we’d chosen under the trees was rather chilly, especially with the retreating sun. (Elevation was not totally realized by us since it was rather gradual.). We moved to where the horse trailer had been parked in a site w/ turn-around and were cosy ‘til the sun retreated. Temps estimated in 30s overnight. There was 1 other campervan using this area but then a couple passenger cars came in later.

    Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch — John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway

    Peaceful and close to Snake River

    HeadWaters Rv campground is located in the perfect place right between Yellowstone and The Tetons. Perfect for exploring both Parks. The cell service is pretty spotty, but it’s great to just put down your phone and enjoy your surroundings. It is only 5 minutes walk from the campground to Snake River access. Fires are allowed at this campground. There are Rv, tent, and cabins to stay at. The cabins in the camp area are small but have full sized bunk beds and a desk and dresser. These cabins do not have water or electricity, but there are other cabins with power up the road. The tent and Rv spots are on gravel with lots of shade, a picnic table, and fire ring. Rv sites are Electric and water. There are so many activities to do. Along with the activities they have every day there is horse riding, guided fly fishing, hiking trails for everyone, bus tours, jr. rancher classes and so much more Also on site at the campground is a dish washing area next to the clean bathrooms and showers. There is a propane fill, fresh water fill, restaurant, gift shop, ATM machine, gas station, and bear boxes. I would definitely recommend this campground for any duration of trip.
