Turner Falls Park
Overview
Turner Falls Park is home to Oklahoma’s tallest waterfall, a stunning 77-foot cascade that flows into a refreshing natural swimming hole. Nestled within the ancient Arbuckle Mountains, this destination offers a unique mix of geological wonders and outdoor recreation. It is a historic park that has drawn visitors for over a century, providing a scenic getaway for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Sooner State. The park is managed by the city and offers a classic outdoor experience that captures the essence of the regional landscape.
Location & Surroundings
Conveniently located just off Interstate 35 in Davis, Oklahoma, the park feels secluded despite its easy accessibility for travelers. It sits in the heart of the Arbuckle Mountains, which are characterized by rugged limestone hills and some of the oldest rock formations in the United States. Honey Creek winds through the landscape, creating a lush environment filled with dense greenery and clear spring-fed waters that stay cool even in the heat of the summer, offering a sharp contrast to the surrounding plains.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides dedicated areas for RV camping, featuring designated sites equipped with water and electric hookups. While the facilities favor a more rustic, nature-focused experience than a typical luxury resort, campers have access to essential bathhouses and dump stations to maintain their rigs. Guests can spend their days exploring miles of rugged hiking trails that offer panoramic views, discovering hidden caves, or lounging by the water at the base of the famous falls where the swimming is most popular.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
A unique highlight of the park is Collings Castle, a historic stone structure built in the 1930s that offers a sense of mystery and architectural interest for explorers. Just outside the park gates, the Chickasaw National Recreation Area offers additional opportunities for serene lake activities and mineral springs. For those traveling with children, the Arbuckle Wilderness drive-through safari is just minutes away, providing a chance to see exotic animals in a unique mountain setting before returning to the quiet of the falls.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for adventure-seeking families and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize spectacular natural landscapes over manicured RV resorts. It is a perfect fit for travelers who enjoy swimming in natural pools and exploring vertical terrain on foot. If you are looking for a mountainous retreat with a focus on hiking, photography, and geological history, Turner Falls Park is an essential stop for any RVer traveling through the Oklahoma region.

We stayed this weekend in the Wagons and it was a great time. They are well made and the beds are comfortable. The set up of all the Wagons are clean and well thought out. They are close to the the 77 foot water fall, the 1930’s castle, and a small cave to explore. One change I would like to see: Many visitors see the wagons as a place to walk through and tour. For guests that have paid to stay there it is rather annoying and rude to intrude like that. I would have appreciated posted signage letting other guests know that this area is for paying guests only. While the Wagons are cool, and we get it- thats why we stayed there- being asked several times a day about them while we are trying to enjoy them is not very cool.. especially to the guy that peeped in our window while we were inside our Wagon- thats a creepy thing to do man…. (Honestly- signage shouldn’t be required- common sense should handle this, but alas here we are). If anyone is curious, they have a wonderful website that tells you pricing and layouts- leave guests alone.

Beautiful park. Just did 3rd grade Daddy/Daughter campout using mainly the primitive - tent campsite. Beautiful and accessible hikes, the castle and caves were very cool. The zipline right outside the park was fun too, great trip!

Stayed 1 night in a new covered wagon. Approx $235 after taxes, fees and $6 half price entry. Online booking does not extend senior discount. Looking forward to peace and quiet in nature with some hiking. Unfortunately, there were a group of off road 4 wheel vehicles that drove around till 1am despite park rules for quiet hours after 10p. Next day, went exploring. “Hiking trails” not clearly marked. Also ran into several off road vehicles exiting 2 mile trail while parking to hike. Decided against for safety reasons. Disappointed only park staff accessible was at the entry gate. Accommodations and facilities were nice. Old trash visible on some overlooks and Creekside areas.

My family rented a bunkhouse and it was nice the beds are a little harder than expected but it was new mattress and was not worn in yet. The bath house was nice and the privacy was amazing. A little more clean up on the trails is needed due to disrespectful people not following the rules of no glass bottles. But I completely understand they are off season and limited staff. We did see three amazing young adults doing there best to keep the park clean. All the staff was completely amazing and the young lady in the trading room was very sweet and helpful

We stayed for 2 nights in our travel trailer October 7-9. Very few people at the park. It was very clean! The RV area with hookups was in excellent shape and easy to get into/out of. It is first come first serve and they do not assign RV spots. If you want to go and have the place to yourself-go on a Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday in October! Beautiful area!
