    Turner falls was beautiful! The hiking, swimming, everything! The only reason for not 5 stars was how rude the lady was checking us in. Also, if not going in a super busy day buy tickets at the gate to hopefully save those ridiculous fees online. Bring chairs, canopies, ice chests, and make it a day. It was so fun! Parking is easy.

    We walked the park to the falls. The recent rains had the water rushing over the falls. Beautiful sight. Driving thru the park we seen three young male turkeys and two grown deer and a young'en that still had spots. We will be back again to visit in summer to swim in one or all of the various pools of water.

    This was well worth the stop. We stopped here on the way back from a day trip to Oklahoma. They have a military discount which is nice. I believe for two adults and a 3 yr old it was $26. They accept card, cash and even Apple Pay. We brought our own food and enjoyed it at one of their picnic areas. The picnic area are fairly clean and well kept with a small playground for kids. I would love to return and do some of the hiking trails. The pools were closed when we were there so no one was swimming. My only complaint is the bathrooms being locked so you have to use porta-potty's.

    this place is beautiful. great hiking trails. there are stinging wasps of some sort. there's a spot to swim. really nice landscapes. the waterfall was not fullly going as much as it would after a fresh rainfall. great photo ops.

    There was plenty of parking on Friday afternoon in November and not a lot of people around. It is easy and well parked from the highway to the entrance. You can pay the fee at the entrance station but it is cheaper online and they just scan your pass and give you a map. I do think it is a bit expensive for the entry fee to pay per person and not for the car. Parking is more on the weekends but free during the week in the fall and winter. It is pretty and the water is clear. It is a short walk and next time would spend some time checking out the castle.

    It's a waterfall, it's the largest waterfall in the state of Oklahoma. There's a huge cave system to explore, lots of hiking, or you can just chill in river. I love it there and will be back!

    The teeppee was not clean, there were insects inside, wasps, spiders, anthills and crickets that did not let us sleep all night with their singing, the air conditioning did not cool, our teeppee had a hole at the top of the ceiling and the air conditioning came out through there, the beds were dirty with dust and dead insects, they need maintenance and cleaning, I paid more than $ 500 dollars for two nights in a teeppee, it would have been better to have a picnic on the first level and rent a hotel than spend the two nights here in this dirty place full of insects and very hot

    I made it to Turner Falls Park!

    Turner Falls is a casual roadside stop and attraction located right off Interstate 35 (I-35) going north and south. To be precise, Turner Falls is situated 80 miles south of Oklahoma City, OK and 130 miles north of Dallas, TX. There were plenty of signs for it and that's how I discovered Turner Falls, just by noticing the signs while driving. I was intrigued by potentially how beautiful this waterfall could be. It was $16 entrance fee for myself, 1 person, plus with sales tax of $1.50, the total was $17.50. Upon entering and parking, I then had to walk a short way (1/3 of a mile) to arrive at the falls. In fact, Turner Falls is actually a park with a campground, space for picnics and barbecues, a playground for kids and even concession stands to buy snacks and refreshments. Overall, the star highlight is obviously Turner Falls. Once here, there's a small beach and sand area to lay down a blanket. Anyone and everyone can swim in the large water pool where Turner Falls splashes down into. I give credit to the setting and ambiance. The water from the falls appeared slightly turquoise green which made for some photogenic aspects. During summers I would recommend bringing a bathing suit with you to cool off from the hot weather. Turner Falls is a 77-foot waterfall. When I was here visiting in late afternoon in early September, it was relatively quiet and not crowded. Granted I arrived around 5pm and spent time watching the sunset, but still, if you can come here for a visit during off peak times and hours it will allow you to capture some scenic moments with the falls. After getting a general sense for the setting and surroundings by the falls, I could tell how popular of a tourist spot this must be. During the height of summers, I can only imagine how crowded the swimming waters are and combined with a colorful backdrop, lots of families and young children must come here in droves to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. For those people who are very particular about their picture taking...I'd definitely suggest coming here in morning times. Because the sun faded behind Turner Falls during sunset, it made for my picture opportunities to be quite difficult with all the glares and shadows. If you were to show up in the morning, I would say the sun would be rising and reflecting well upon Turner Falls making for snapping photos much more efficient and memorable. Lol, this is just me being picky with how I like to take pictures. In the end, it was nice to be here at Turner Falls. Although this place didn't mesmerize me or have me in awe, I still had a cool experience for this extremely accessible roadside stop right off I-35. For those who may have higher expectations of a statuesque waterfall or a grand stunning scene...you may not get it here. Alright, well, this is Turner Falls and Park located in Davis, Oklahoma.

    The view from Highway 77. Not from inside the park (because there's really not a view inside the park).

    Have you ever wanted to go to the state fair, and then take a bath with everyone at the state fair? That's the Turner Falls experience. Oh, also, it will cost you $60+ to take a bath with everyone. All of that and you still might not get a view of the Falls. It depends on whether the first level of parking is full or not. They have 3 levels of parking, and the people working there probably won't be willing to take the time to explain the difference between the levels. The first level is the most expensive and includes the only real view of the falls. The 2nd level is good if you want to access the creek above the falls. The 3rd level is good for camping and hiking; it is also free. My advice: don't go. Instead, support the PUBLIC Parks system and head to the nearby Chickasaw National Recreation Area. It's free, and the employees are and kind and helpful. You'll find similar creek swimming, but the water is nice and cool because it's spring-fed.

    California born/raised Yelper here, was visiting Dallas, TX and my family decided to drive on over to Turner Falls Park in Oklahoma. Turners Fall Park has tons of hiking trails, campsites, cabins, and a castle ...besides the waterfall (see my pictures). So much to do and see. I loved it all! We scored!!! Park wasn't too crowded, therefore lots of parking available. Dressing rooms with restrooms are decent. Multiple concession stands were all closed and souvenir shop closed early too. Glad my family packed food and snacks. Bring water shoes, as the rocks are slippery and your flip-flops might go floating away! Also, bring deet, bug spray -so many mosquitoes (ick!!!). We pre-purchased too many admission tickets online and nice woman at the gate allowed the extra admission tickets to be used another day. I'd definitely visit Turner Falls Park again, if/when in the area again. Thanks, Turner Fall Park for great family outdoor memories made here :)

    Its worth the extra money for parking, we waited for about an hour for the shuttle that never came so we ended up walking up / down the main roads massive hill with no sidewalk so just walking next to moving cars. It was very crowded and the line to get in the park took about 45 minutes after sitting in the car for a 2 hour drive. Don't get me wrong it's beautiful but before corona we had a great time and after this I don't think we will be going back for some time. Also, the water was gross, it smelled horrible and very murky. Apparently dogs are not allowed yet we saw a puppy, and multiple other dogs in the park. Its just a little ridiculous like are they allowed or not because the website says otherwise

    Ask the Community - Turner Falls Park

    Do you need to buy a ticket for the park AND buy a parking pass? (the website is super unclear on that). Thanks.

    Yes. Admission doesn't include parking.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Dogs are not allowed.

    Do you have to pay a park admission just to hike?

    Yes. You have to pay to enter the park regardless of whether you just hike, swim, fish, etc.

    Are dog allow there?

    According to their ticket terms and conditions: no pets are allowed in the park

    Does any one know if we have to make reservations before we get there or can we pay at the door?

    You don't have to make a reservation online, but it's recommend because they do get sold out quickly.

    Do all kids need to have a life jacket? I have a ten year old who is a good swimmer and wondered if she would need one.

    ALL CHILDREN 12 AND UNDER MUST WEAR A COAST GUARD APPROVED FLOTATION DEVICE. NO EXCEPTIONS! THIS IS FOR YOUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY! TURNER FALLS DOES NOT RENT OR PROVIDE FLOTATION DEVICES. WATER DEPTHS VARY GREATLY IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PARK SO… 

    How far away from the campsites can you park your car? Can you park at your campsite? Are there fire rings at each campsite? What about picnic tables?

I would say to reserve, as the weekend on a non-holiday it was completely full. There are plots that have water and electric hook-ups.

At the Point there are a few non-plumbed facilities as well as one facility with plumbing and showers. Each bathroom of the plumber facilities has its own shower, plus a section of just a single shower with no bathroom. There are plenty of spots to go. Fishing areas are at each of the campgrounds. In addition, there are boat drop off areas, and places to swim in the lake. Unfortunately, no pets are not allowed in the lake or east of Travertine area which is in the northeastern section of the park. In the end, it was a fun and simple time, and will be planning my trips here on a monthly basis b

    *Full disclosure we visited for 5 nights during the Texas state shelter in place order*…read more I went back and forth between 4 & 5 stars...I decided on 5 because a few of the issues are out of the control of the owner of the park or any of the staff. Let me start with all the wonderful things about this park (it's our first visit & wont be our last) the animals are awesome: you can interact with them (if they feel up to it at the moment) mini horses, chickens, goats, etc...there are so many actives for children that weren't the group activities (since group activities were banned bc of the Shelter in place order) mini golf, a jumping pillow (the 2nd was popped and looked as if it had been down for awhile), 3 pools, a splash pad, a maze, some swings, a playground, a blown up obstacle course (like you rent from a party rental place for your backyard bday parties), pedal cars to rent, sand volleyball and basketball. There are picnic tables and fire rings at each site. The sites had enough room between them not like the KoA type of RV parks where you are on top of each other. The dog park area is a great place to let the pups run off some energy. The shower house was extremely clean. They have laundry although we didn't use it. They had a store and cafe but it was closed bc they had furloughed some staff. The grounds were very well maintained. No complaints there. All guests were nice and respectful although we kept our distance mostly and didn't interact much. Now on to the things that we weren't crazy about. No cable and antenna TV did not come in really at all even in a brand new Class A antenna system. Wifi is through a 3rd party and cost $4 a day, $10 for 3 days or $20 for a week but it was not good signal strength at all. Wasted $ buying it. And this was while the park was very bare so it wasn't bc the signal was over used. It was just that weak. There are many people who seem to live at the park full time may it be annually or for months on end. Those RVs have built in porches (& lots of "stuff" around their RVs and just make it look more like it a trailer park in the area that they are in. Not a fan. But we get it's a steady income to have them there. Lots of children were not being watched by their parents although the park had signs up everywhere stating that children need to be watched. That definitely goes back on the parents who are just lazy and use the park as a place to allow their children to run free. LOTS of highway noise and train noise if you are towards the front of the park. The train was coming around 2-3 times a hour starting Sunday evening blasting it's horn. It was intense. (Just recommend bringing a loud fan to drown out the noise). Overall our experience is that a lot of love and thought is put into park. We will be returning when all the activities are back open and it's a little warmer consistently. The park was already a RV park called, Coyote Ranch before they bought into the Jelly Stone franchise.

Thank God we weren't staying there. Like Joseph B., I came to hike. I mistakenly assumed this whole area is flat, and that's what I told the 9 other people in my party. I should have looked at a few more links because almost immediately there were short but steep hills - about 10 in succession just for the first 5 miles. And that's about as far as we got before we turned back. We were exhausted, but it was worth it. Even the three marathon runners in our group said it was a good workout. Start at the W. Juniper Point trailhead, not Cedar Bayou Marina, or you will miss some of the better lake views from the trail. You can follow the trail markers to Lost Loop or cut through the Marina and continue on the Loop on the west side of the Marina. Start early because it gets pretty hot mid-day in March. I'm so excited to find good hikes in N. Texas.
