Pine Valley Recreation Area is situated in a beautiful valley surrounded by the Pine Valley Mountains.

The Pine Valley Equestrian Campground is designed to support campers traveling with horses. Each reservable site is equipped with corrals to accommodate equestrian needs, offering a safe and functional space for both riders and their animals.
To preserve this purpose, campsites in the Equestrian Campground are reserved exclusively for campers with horses until 6:00 PM daily. We kindly ask that non-equestrian visitors respect this window, allowing equestrian users priority access to these specialized facilities. After 6:00 PM, any remaining sites may be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
OHV/ATV's including street legal are not allowed within the Pine Valley Recreation Area (they must be trailered at all times).
