Local Horse Camping
We are so lucky to have some of the best horse camping facilities within 60 miles
of Grand Rapids, MN. Each of these camps offer top notch facilities and hundreds
of miles of beautiful trails for very reasonable camping fees (approximately
$14.00 per night). We have many members who enjoy horse camping and go to these
camps every weekend during the spring and fall. Sometimes we go as club organized
camping trips and sometimes members just get together their own trips. Either way,
there are many happy trails.
