Iam Thinking about going to Lake Murry. Does anybody have some info on the best places to camp and still be able to ride.

 

Sure. Take I-30 what I think is exit 29 (Hwy 70). Turn right there. Follow that past the state park entrance. When you see a gold horse on a big stick up in the air, turn right into the riding area. Yes I DID say "a gold horse on a big stick up in the air". Thats the only way we know to turn. You can camp anywhere in there. You best bet is to drive back to the lake and camp at a site back there.

 

yes turn at the gold horse or i think it is called spalding rd. if you miss it and go up further to a little gas station called ricks place you can turn there also. there is a desginated riding area and then there are other areas around the lake to camp that have boat access and such. you can camp and ride at the same place you turn at the gold horse. They have recently leveled the parking lot and made it bigger and are adding bathrooms ans showers. I don't think they are functional yet though. Camping and riding are all in one there. There are several roads that lead all over the riding areas out there, some to the water and some into the woods. I guess what im trying to say is you can camp and ride at the same place. You won't have to load up and go camp somewhere else when you're done riding. When are you going and maybe we could meet you up there? If my parts come in that is.

 

when you plan on the lake murry trip?

 

We are thinking about going labor day weekend. Dont know for sure but would like to go check it out.
