Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Turner Falls Park OK is beautiful, it's off of I-35!  However, when you drive down the road into the park, if you are taller than 11 ft, stay to the left or you will get stuck! 
We paid $25 plus entry fee for electric and water.  The park is touristy but very pretty.  Our pad was concrete and backed into the trees and a view.  Not all sites are like that.  Some are just out in the open.  They have showers and laundry facilities too.  The park has a 77 ft. waterfall along with some trails and caves.  It also has a castle from 1920's. 

The park is open year around, however, not all the shops are open year around. 
We have always stopped at the scenic view to look across but not at the park until this time.  Simply nice. 

Since we travel from Nebraska to Tx to see kids, this was a nice stop before we arrived at our oldest's home.

Sounds a little scary on the gitting stuck part. Just what would you get stuck on?? Park sounds neat. Been by there many time but we have never stopped. We'll have to try it out as soon as I find out about the getting stuck part.

HI:

Having been born in Sulphur OK, which is a short drive east of there, I am very familiar with Turner Falls. I spent many hot summer days swimming in that stream, under that water fall as a child. If you have the time there is a magical place just east of Davis, OK called the Chickasaw National Recreation area. It is a wonderful little park nestled on the north side of one of the oldest mountain ranges on the North American continent. A stream flows through that park that is fed by 3 springs. These 3 springs flow the year round and provide water for all the lush foliage in the park. The area was formerly the smallest national park in the system and was know as Platt National park for many years before the national park service turned the property over to the Chickasaw Indian tribe. The tribe now runs the park. Arbuckle lake was built in the area many years ago. and the waters from the springs keep the lake full. Being spring fed, the water is very clear for Oklahoma. Having been a national park the facilities there are basic and the camp sites are pretty much for smaller units but a few days spent there and a dip in the 54 degree water on a hot summer day fill my mind with wonderful memories of my childhood. If you get a chance, stop by and visit it.

Stay to the left and it is an open side, no roof, stay to the right and it is 11 ft clearance.  They had someone get stuck, had to take the air out of the tires and pull them out.  Too uncomfortable to think about. 

Thought about stopping at the other park but didn't, but maybe one day.  Thanks for sharing your memories.

Thanks for the tip.
I grew up here in So. California but having grandparents living in Oklahoma I spend 6 weeks there every summer.

I love Oklahoma and look forward after retirement heading to Turner Falls now and then. Thanks for posting.
