Saddle up and trot your way to the French Creek Horse Camp for a few nights' stay in this true equestrian oasis.

This spot is reserved for horses only (well, and their riders, of course). Each campsite comes with its very own corral for your steed, and plenty of space for the two-legged guests to hang out after a long day of riding the park’s many equestrian trails. Thinking about reserving this spot for an extra day, anyone?
