I need your help. Where would you recommend to camp and ride for 5-7 days in Oklahoma? May be 5-7 trailers and need electric and water. Also what time of the year is...
Cedar Lake is federal. There is another place people horse camp but I have not personally been there. It is called Robbers Cave State park. http://www.stateparks.com/robbers_cave.html

Here is a link to all camping places in Oklahoma. It has some reviews and data. Don't know how well it is maintained as I think one or 2 places are not open now. http://www.horsetraildirectory.com/Nov05_selector_results...

We really like this place south east of Fort Smith, AR. Idlenook is run by a guy who has always trail ridden and led many trail rides. The horses have large covered pens. Great riding. Nice community building with wood heat, appliances, showers, etc. VERY nice people. http://idlenook.com/

Cedar Lake is the BEST if you like trails with a little challenge to them.

Idle nook is dog friendly. Cedar Lake is not. That's a biggie with us. Cedar Lake used to be more relaxed. Owan was one of the rangers. He had common sense. Now, they act like a state organization -- which they are. Everyone has their favorites. Cedar Lake is on our list. We've been going to Horse Heaven since the day they first opened the doors. Their pens are uncovered, but you could rent stalls in their Barnmaster Barn if needed. I don't know the cost. They also have some great cabins that come with sheltered horse stalls. Although the Horse Heave campground is private, you will ride entirely on government land.
