The Chickasaw National Recreation Area was once Platt National Park and is a beautiful little area in South Central Oklahoma.There are beautiful springs and waterfalls on an easy trail by the nature center.

We only stayed one night there because our plan was to stay at a Wildlife Management Area for most of the trip.

So we did not have much time to explore but I would like to go back, preferably when it is not the week of spring break. My kids want to go back in the summer to swim! The sites are nice and not too close together.

It was nice to have power and water in the new rig also! We did not run water into our tanks still though, we tend to wait until all danger of freezing is over for that.

We basically stayed here because we needed to dump our tanks and it seemed a better value to pay for a night of camping then to just dump our tanks at most places.

We left right after our walk around the springs and headed to a spot called Blue River.

It was a beautiful area but very popular and pretty full so we checked out another spot and hit the jackpot!

Our tire also shredded on the way to the blue river spot!

Thankfully there was enough room to pull over and fix it!

I will share pics of where we ended up staying next!
