Best Equestrian Camping near Kingston, OK

86 Reviews

Platter Flats Campground features 35 equestrian campsites with hookups and 3 equestrian tent sites without hookups near Kingston, Oklahoma. The campground offers both regular camping and equestrian-specific areas, with horses not being required to camp in the equestrian section. The park includes well-marked horse trails that connect to Lakeside Park across the lake, suitable for riding or hiking. Traffic within the campground creates a dusty environment on the dirt/gravel roads in the equestrian area. Campers visiting with horses appreciate the mix of open and shaded sites, though the sites are positioned relatively close together.

Located on Lake Texoma, the equestrian trails at Platter Flats provide scenic riding opportunities with lake views and secluded swimming spots along the way. Trail maps are posted at each end of the main equestrian path with markers throughout the route for easy navigation. Reservations are required through recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. The equestrian section includes both flush toilets and pit toilets, with new bath and shower facilities recently added. During peak season (April 1 to September 30), weekend traffic can be considerable from 8 AM to 10 PM with the outer gates closing at 10 PM. Horse owners should note that the primitive camping areas offer a more peaceful experience away from the main campground traffic.

    Isle du Bois Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

    Bring your horse to Isle du Bois unit - Roberts Lake State Park

    Roberts Lake State Park has two main campgrounds, the Isle du Bois unit and Johnson unit. These are what I would call twins. They are very similar in layout, scenery and activities. They are on opposite sides of the lake.

    Isle du Bois is a little different in that it has legitimate equestrian camp sites with horse pens built into each site. The park has several equestrian trails and is perfect if you like to ride and camp with your horse.

    The rest of the park has several walk-in camp sites and then a section for campers and RV's. It is a good park and I would normally rate this park as a three but I think that all of the equestrian activities and amenities for horses moves it up to a four.

    Platter Flats

    Great hosts

    The park hosts and volunteers are very friendly, responsive, and work hard with the resources available to them. They deserve 5 stars This 2 star review is on the park only.

    This campground is one part regular campground, one part equestrian campground. Having horses is not a requirement to camp in the equestrian area and that is hany when the "regular" area is filled. The sites are pretty close together and the entire park feels packed together when it comes to camping space.

    The facilities are extremely outdated but there are new bath/shower combos coming online very shortly in the equestrian section. In the meantime there are 2 shower stalls available for men and 2 for women in the entire camp. There are pit toilets in the equestrian area and only 1 flush toilet for men located in the "regular" area until the new ones come up in the equestrian area. Possibly only 2 for women available.

    The worst thing was the traffic. People would drive to swim, fish, use the restroom, visit others in adjacent campsites or just cruise around with no aim from 8 AM to 10PM Thursday thru Sunday afternoon. The outer gates close at 10 PM but some drove around inside the park after that anyway. The equestrian camp area has dirt/gravel road and all the traffic creates a dusty environment. The Main road to the entrance which runs along the south side of the equestrian area also leads to the Platter Flats Recreation area which has no gates nor closing time so there is activity on the road all day and night.

    There is a long equestrian trail that goes over to Lakeside Park across the lake that can also be hiked pretty easily that has a couple secluded spots to swim along the way. The trail is well marked and easy to follow. There are large map signs on each end of the trail and markers along the way.

    I would not recommend visiting this park on a weekend unless traffic doesn't bother you. It should be noted there is a rail freight line and siding not far from the camp and once the vehicle traffic slows down, the trains seem to start. The train horns at crossings may be a bother to some.

    Platter Flats

    Love! So fun for kids!

    Half of the campground is an equestrian camp. There are great hiking trails and beautiful views. Good shady spots.

    We had two kids with us and we loved walking around the campground and seeing all the horses! But remember it will also smell like them so camp on that side at your own risk.

    Also there was no attendant and we switched sites for the weekend with no issue 🤷‍♀️🤫

    Isle du Bois Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

    Just far enough

    This place is just far enough from DFW to not be to far. Great place to camp, fish and hike. Bring your horses for a equestrian trail as well. Great beach for some sand castles and swimming. And don't forget to hit the Dam store and get the dam special. Good burgers there.

    Isle du Bois Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

    Free Fishing!

    The first thing that brought me here was the option to fish without a license! It's been several years now since my wife and I stayed here the first time. It's a good size park with several options for activities: boating, fishing, picnicking, equestrian, hiking, camping, etc. The trails are thorough through the park. The lakefront is great as it gives you a good sense of the size of the lake. I'm looking forward to our next stay here!

    Coffee Mill Lake Recreation Area

    Grasslands lake camping in North Texas.

    We stayed here by happenstance. This campground isn't really near anything and is a 30 minute drive from even the smallest town so come prepared for all your needs. There is a vault toilet and the grounds weren't in terrible shape. This would be my choice for a campground in the National Grasslands. There is lake access here and you could tell that this is a equestrian meet up area. The camps pots weren't leveled and you just throw your tent wherever you want. We didn't have any neighbors so it was quiet. The spot we got had a fire ring and a table. This is basic no frills car camping here if you are interested. We didn't have time to research so we don't know if there are any trails or anything in this area as we couldn't find any.
