You can bring your own horses and camp with them, riding the many trails and enjoying all that the countryside has to offer. There are so many things to do and see – and when you see it from horseback, well, there’s nothing quite like it.
The horse boarding set up has several options including a pasture only board, a pasture board with two daily feedings, and full board with turnout as well as horse transport. With more than 60 miles of marked trails, you will have plenty of room to roam. Ride alone, with your family, or go with a group of trail riders. If you’ve ever dreamed of living a life like the cowboys did in the movies, this will bring you pretty close – except that you don’t have to run cows or fix fences.

Lakeview Plantation’s Equestrian Escapes are the stuff that dreams are made of. There are several trip options that are available at different times of the year, ranging from 1,200 miles to 5,200 miles. There are both trail riding vacations and RV camping adventures. If you are looking for some fun and something that’s a little bit different, this could be just the place for you.

Take a look at all of their various packages for trail riding as well as RV camping. Their adventures hit some of the most beautiful areas in the country including Big Bend National Park; Canyon de Chelly, Arizona; Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota; Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado; Mt. Rogers National Recreational Area, Virginia; and other places in Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Tennessee. It all starts in Fairfax, South Carolina, but you could end up just about anywhere.
