In about a month, we will be moving to Washington, DC. Well, technically we are moving to rural Maryland, but DC is an easy landmark.
We are taking 2 or 3 horses with us, and ideally, I would like to stay at a campground each night with facilities for the horses. I'd prefer it not be a primitive state campground, I'm looking more for something with W&E and a bathhouse...
I was hoping there was some sort of online trip planner that I could use that would allow me to search for "horse facilities", but so far, I haven't come across one... Any ideas???
Thanks! From me and the horses! And 3 cats and 4 dogs, too.

You definitely have to call ahead for horse facilities. They are available but sparse.

I'm hoping to have a set-in-stone itenirary with reservations already made along the route. That's my plan anyway. But it is taking forever to try to research it by hand... I'm not really getting anywhere. I was hoping there was an easier way.
I really don't need anything fancy. Heck, my parents KOA allowed horses anytime provided they had their own highline or portable corral. I'm kinda looking for the same deal - don't need horse resort type facilities. Just enough ground to set up camp. And park a few big trailers. And a moving van pulling a trailer... Okay, maybe I am asking for a bit much...

If you are going through Cincinnati, East Fork State Park, has a camping area that allows horses.

Try contacting fairgrounds in likely stopping points. I used them when hauling horses cross country, but it has been over 10 years ago.

Potato Creek State Park (about 12 miles south of I-80 near South Bend, IN) has a horsemen's campground. Electric only, but a very nice state park if that is along your route.
