Experience the Beauty of Colorado’s Trails
Colorado's breathtaking landscapes are a haven for nature enthusiasts, offering miles upon miles of scenic trails. These paths cater to all levels of experience, from leisurely strolls to demanding treks. Whether you're into hiking, bicycling, off-roading, or horseback riding, Colorado provides a trail for every adventurer.
Explore Equestrian Trails
With 54 national recreation areas, including six national parks and 20 state parks, Colorado boasts extensive equestrian trails. Many of these locations also offer horse rentals for those without their own steeds. You can find dedicated horse camping sites in three U.S. Forest Service campgrounds and two state parks, complete with nearby horse corrals.
Popular Horse Camping Spots
San Isabel National Forest in central Colorado features four designated horseback riding trails and two campgrounds with horse sites. At Alvarado Campground, you'll find three campsites that accommodate up to eight people each. Amenities include toilets and a hand pump for drinking water. The nearby Sangre de Cristo wilderness trails promise stunning views and challenging rides. Remember to carry a Coleman emergency poncho to weather those unexpected afternoon storms.
Purgatoire Campground offers eight sites for horse campers, while Jack's Gulch Campground in northern Colorado provides five sites with corrals. Located just west of Fort Collins, Jack's Gulch is also ideal for bicycling, hiking, fishing, ATV riding, and bird watching.
State Parks with Equestrian Facilities
Vega State Park in central Collbran offers convenient parking for horse trailers, granting access to hundreds of miles of Grand Mesa National Forest trails. While horse camping isn't available here, you can reserve corrals near the rustic cabins and family campgrounds.
At Brockman Campground in Colorado State Forest State Park, recent additions include corral facilities for horse camping. This park features over 50 miles of trails suitable for horseback riding, as well as hiking, bicycling, boating, and fishing opportunities. Cabin and yurt rentals are available year-round.

Horse Camping Essentials
When horse camping in Colorado, ensure your horse feed is certified weed-free, as required on state and national grounds. Check with your chosen campground or park for specific regulations, and bring necessary supplies like buckets or hoses if water isn’t readily available at the corrals.
