Best Equestrian Camping near Tishomingo, OK
Platter Flats Campground offers equestrian camping with 35 sites equipped with electric and water hookups and 3 primitive tent sites for riders. The campground is divided into two sections, with half dedicated to equestrian use. Horse owners can access well-marked trails including a long equestrian path that connects to Lakeside Park across Lake Texoma. The trails are suitable for both riding and hiking, with large map signs at each end and markers along the route. Sites are positioned to provide shade from mature trees, particularly in the equestrian area. Campers report that seeing horses throughout the campground is enjoyable for families with children, but note that camping in the equestrian section comes with expected animal odors.
The equestrian trail from Platter Flats features secluded swimming spots along the route, providing water access for both riders and horses. Bathroom facilities include new bath/shower combinations in the equestrian section, though these were recently completed after a period with limited facilities. Reservations are required and can be made through recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. The campground accommodates various camping styles with hookup options for RVs and dedicated areas for tent camping. The equestrian section features gravel roads, which can become dusty during high-traffic periods. Visitors note the campground is generally peaceful during weekdays, though weekends bring increased vehicle traffic until the gates close at 10 PM.
