Big Piney Equestrian Camp
MO · Licking
Slabtown Road off Highway AF
Big Piney Equestrian Camp does exactly what riders hope an equestrian camp will do: it makes the horse part of the trip easier, not harder. With direct access to the Big Piney Trail and dedicated horse-friendly features at camp, it feels intentionally built for people who want to stay, ride and settle into the woods for more than a few hurried hours. That purposefulness gives the whole experience a polished edge.
Riding guide
Highlights
A purpose-built equestrian camp with strong horse amenities, good trailer flow and direct access to one of the area’s most appealing wilderness-edge rides.
Riding
The nearby Big Piney Trail offers a satisfying wilderness-edge experience with enough length to feel like a real ride and enough forest atmosphere to make it memorable. It is especially good for riders who enjoy a quieter, more immersive trail mood.
Rideable terrain
17 miles
Trailer parking
Designed with horse users in mind, this camp has dedicated equestrian amenities, group-friendly trailer space and a much more horse-centered staging experience than a standard forest campground.
Horse regulations
Follow all site-specific horse rules, keep stock off trees and review current forest conditions before travel. Bring your own potable water strategy because water availability is limited.
Getting here
Arrival is notably smoother than at generic campgrounds because the site is truly designed around horse use. There is room to set up thoughtfully, and that changes the tone of the trip right away.
Planning your visit
For riders prioritizing camp experience as much as trail experience, Big Piney is one of Missouri’s stronger options. It feels built for the way equestrians actually travel.
Where to stay
Horse camping is absolutely the point here. Hitching infrastructure, trailer-friendly layout and a camp-centric riding rhythm make it easy to turn the destination into a relaxed multi-day stay.
