Coyote Hollow Equestrian Campground sits at 7,877 feet in Dixie National Forest, offering four spacious sites designed for horse camping and trail access. The campground is a trailhead for Thunder Mountain, popular with riders, hikers, and mountain bikers. Sites cost $18/night and include vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, but there's no potable water on-site.
Coyote Hollow Equestrian Campground primarily caters to equestrian and tent campers. The campground is also open to non-equestrian campers, making it versatile despite its small size of four sites.
Weather and SeasonsSpring offers the best conditions. May brings daytime highs in the mid-60s to mid-70s and nights that drop into the low-30s to 40s. Trails are soft but not muddy by then, and you'll avoid the afternoon thunderstorms common in summer. Crowds thin out compared to late summer and fall weekends. Summer gets hotter, and the horse activity kicks up dust along the roads.
Natural Features and SceneryPonderosa pines provide a mix of sun and shade across the campsites. The campground sits on the Paunsaugunt Plateau, where dense forest opens to views of distant canyon country. Light pollution is minimal. The setting feels remote but accessible, with enough space between trees for trailers and horse setups.
