Eagle Ranch Resort in Collins, MO. Has everything you listed...except maybe a swim hole. There is a pond/resevior, but the trails are really scenic and they have an obstacle course, hookups, stalls, and friendly people!

Does anyone know of any horse campgrounds/public trails in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? I grew up there, but only rode around home. It's on my bucket list to ride...
Wisconsin Horse Council has a wonderful book called Wisconsin Horse Trails, and it has all the trails and info about whether they are day use or camping, how many miles, water, etc and riders remarks about them. Its only 25.00 and I love it and keep it in my trailer! Check it out! wisconsinhorsecouncil.org/index.php?page=detail&post_id=19 o to the

The Michigan DNR is opening 3 more equine campgrounds this spring. (See Terrie Slack post above) There are lots of horse trails and campgrounds in the UP. Check out heritagehillshorsebackriding.com for a private camp between Ishpeming and Negaunee. Also mtra.org for the Shore to Shore (Michigan Trail Riders Association)

Any one know of any good horse campgrounds in or around Cumberland Gap in Kentucky/ Tennessee? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
David N. replied:
Thanks for the recommendations, but I'm needing a place at Cumberland Gap ( Middleboro, KY ).
Andrea F. replied:
We are leaving Thurs. for the Cumberland Gap. We will be staying at the wilderness State Park camp and boarding our horses 3 miles up the road at Stone House Stable. The manager says we can ride directly from there into the park. Check out their website.
Brian P. replied:
Hensley Settlement is a really good ride. I have only been there once but the way we came off the mountain was very steep. I would not want a green horse on that hill. Wish I had more info, but just wanted to give you a little heads up.
We are wanting to winter In Florida for 5 months with are horses next year. We don't know where to start looking does anyone have any suggestions for horses campgrounds...

We are from north MO. We went to M Lazy C, Pike Nat'l Forest, Lake George, CO an hour west of Colorado Springs. 45000 acres to ride right out of camp, easy to difficult terrain; trail challenge course in camp; nice campsites; come covered pens.

Shalimar Farms in Cass, WV adjacent to the Monongahela Nation Forest. They have their own nice trails, about 25 miles, and forest trails are directly off their property. Lots of sandstone surfaces, so shoes in the forest might be a good idea if staying for more than 3 days.

I stayed at Ears the Place in driggs, ID (just over the pass from JH) 208 354 2471eljohnsontetons@silverstar.com also think you can rent stalls at Jackson Hole fairgrounds. Recommend paintbrush and cascade canyon trails. During the summer season parking maybe difficult in GTNP.

Hello,
I'm heading down the Rio Grande Valley next month.
I'm looking for boarding barns with access to trails, or just trails in general....in the RIO GRANDE VALLEY...
Melissa H. replied:
If you want trails, stay in the central Texas area. If you want warm winters and hot summers, the RGV is for you. I live in Edinburg, born and raised in the Valley. There are several boarding barns in the mid valley, don't know a lot about them. Land is expensive and Hidalgo Co is very high on taxes. Food is reasonable, entertainment is pricy. No trails, just ride the roads and fields. We have a lovely beach along the coast.
