Haycreek Ranch in Nemo SD is a nice place with a lot of riding. You can ride alone or join the owner, Doug. If you haven't been to Custer State Park, there is a horse camp called French Creek. You need to make reservations asap if you decide to go there, it is hard to get a space.

If you are going through New Mexico, my husband and I love Silver City. We don't usually stay at RV parks or horse camps or anywhere else that you have to pay to camp. We like the BLMs and National Forest. Just before entering the city limit of Silver City is the Continental Divide trail head where you can camp. The Continental Divide trail goes for miles. There are also several other trails to explore there too. The trail head has quite a few camping sites that are nice. There are also a couple of camping areas just before you get to the Continental Divide trail head, as you're traveling east. It's national forest and hooks up to the Continental Divide trail. There is a lot of camping in Colorado. We live in Pagosa Springs during the summer and there's a great place here that has a natural hot springs in the river that is free to access. In Wyoming there is the Medicine Bow National Forest, on Happy Jack Road between Cheyenne and Laramie.

Hi Debbie the first time we headed down to Arizona from Canada we had no plans but we managed. Not sure if you could get into Kings Stable in Apache Junction but that would work for you. Trails in every direction close to town. Couple of great restaurants in riding distance.

Looking to camp with horses in Kanab Utah. Any suggestions?
Kelly A. replied:
Hi Dianne the Rodeo grounds out by the airport in Kanab could work. Also if you head out of Kanab towards Page AZ right in the Paria Canyon area is a ranch called Paria Canyon Guest Ranch and it has horse camping. The riding is like no other. You can ride from there down the Paria river to all kinds of Slot canyons. Here is just on of my many blogs on the area http://campingandhorses.blogspot.ca/2014/04/southern-utah.html

Carolle Franz StJean you will kick your self once you get here if you don't have your horses. The riding is like no other. We have been coming down here since 2007. We never knew were we were going the first year but found lots of places to camp. If you are set up for dry camping you can find a place in almost every town. If you want to stay put there are lots of places that have full hookups you can stay at. Check out the web site for info also visit our Blog as well as I blog about every place we stay at and give instructions on how to get there and what the riding and camping is like.

Can anyone recommend a good place to overnight horses in Kamloops or Merritt? (The trick is where I can also easily get in and out of with my rig 74 ft long)

Hidden Valley Rustic Horse Camp could accommodate you in Merritt. I think you could also stop at the Nicola Valley Rodeo grounds lots of room for big rigs there. The Nicola Valley riding club runs the grounds there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/447305575322063/
