"I travel all over Michigan and beyond, hauling my horses Cody and Calvin in a two-horse trailer with my Minnie Winnie.  There were many options for camping with my horses, but I did my research and the Minnie Winnie was the motorhome other "horse folks" recommended.

  Minnie Winnie

"The Minnie Winnie pulls my trailer really well, and having the nice living quarters makes my trips even more enjoyable.  Horse folks have a lot of options when it comes to camping, but "living quarter" horse trailers don't have the room my Minnie Winnie does.

  Horseback rider

"Many times I camp where there is no electricity, but I am fully operational with battery power and added solar panels on the roof to keep my batteries charged.  The living space is awesome, and I love the hauling capability of the Minnie Winnie.  Thanks!"

Thank you, Debbie.  A small token of appreciation is on its way to you. - ed.

Hidden Gem: Chickasaw National Recreation Area

For this issue's Hidden Gem, we go north and west -- of Texas, that is.  To Oklahoma, and its gorgeous Chickasaw National Recreation Area.


Located off I-35 about an hour south of Oklahoma City, this park's roots go back more than 100 years -- and one visit will make you understand why it's been drawing visitors ever since.

 

Bubbling mineral and freshwater springs, rushing creeks and -- since 1966 -- the fabulous fishing of Lake of the Arbuckles appeal to water lovers of all types.  Add in travertine ledges, eastern forest and western prairie, hiking and horseback trails, plus a century of history and you'll see what makes Chickasaw so special.

 

Chickasaw National Recreation Area has 62 RV hookups; reservations are highly recommended.

 

For more information, visit the National Park Service or Travel Oklahoma.

 

For campsite reservations visit www.recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777. Chickasaw National Recreation Area cannot make reservations.

  • Pick up valuable tips at more than 75 seminars

And, of course, there will be a host of activities, tours and excursions geared toward specific interests, whether it's exploring nature or the country's largest shopping mall.

 

If you've been to "the Big One" before, you'll love what's new for 2013, including:

  • Fabulous entertainment from national acts like John Michael Montgomery and Jay and the Americans

  • New food choices, including Marti's Saloon
  • A full schedule of youth activities every day
