Palmersoa Horse and Hike Campground in Laurelville, Ohio

How far is the Bridle Trail from the campground?

The end of the Red Trail actually runs directly behind our campground! However, it can only be accessed by exiting our campground, turning left on Keifel Rd. travel about 0.10-mile, turn left to enter the RED Trail. If you want to head to the State Horseman's Camp to enter the rest of the trail system...continue on Keifel Rd. for approximately 0,5-mile, turn left and go down over the hill to head towards the Sate Horseman's Camp following the RED markings on the trees. This will be approximately a 3-mile ride.

What should I bring for my horses?

Bring everything that you normally would when you go trail riding. We do have potable water (supplied by a well), If your horse has a sensitive stomach, you may also want to bring water.

Can I stay in one of the cabins and still bring my horse (s)?

YES! We have a tie out near the Yellow Cabin. There is room by the Red Cabin to bring your own tie out for that one. (Our plan is to build a few more corrals closer to the cabins. However, the only corrals we have right now, are about 1000 feet from the cabins. Parking at the cabins is limited to one vehicle and no trailer access. This means if you bring a horse trailer, you will have to disconnect and park it in our overflow parking area.

Do I have to stay in a site next to a corral to rent a corral or can I pick another site?

No. You can pick any site and any corral! Some of our sites are large enough to keep your horses at your campsite. Please be mindful of your site boundaries because not all campers have horses and want to enjoy the campground too! Any excess damage to the site may be charged back to you. No one can control the weather and there can be rain in turn leads to mud, ruts, dead grass etc. All of which will have to be repaired for the next camper at a cost. You may want to put them back in the trailer for those days!
