Ride Through Red Rock Country at Capitol Reef Equestrian Camp
Set against the dramatic cliffs and canyons of Utah's red rock desert, the Capitol Reef Equestrian Campground offers a rare opportunity to explore Capitol Reef National Park on horseback. Located near the scenic Fruita Historic District, these designated equestrian sites provide direct access to over 60 miles of rugged riding trails through slickrock landscapes, slot canyons, and wide-open desert terrain.
Each site includes space for trailers, hitching posts, and basic amenities for riders and their stock. With panoramic views, star-filled skies, and access to the park’s less-traveled paths, this is a dream basecamp for equestrians seeking solitude and striking geology.
