A City of Davis owned park with 1500 acres of Castles, Caves, Hiking and a Spring fed Creek that runs all the way through the park!
Turner was born in Virginia and married a Chickasaw named Laura Johnson. He then became a farmer in Murray County and in 1878 he and is wife settled in a cabin along Honey Creek. Turner discovered the nearby waterfall, which earned his name. The recreational area came under the ownership of the city of Davis in 1919. Davis operated the park until 1950, and then leased it out until 1978, when they resumed management of the area. Davis purchased 370 acres for the park from the Turner family in 1925, paying a reported sum of $17,000.
The Park has received national publicity and serves as a classroom for naturalists as it includes three natural caves, formations of conglomerates, limestone, granite, shale and sandstone.
We have beautiful RV Sites with water and electric hookups.
RV Campground has twelve 30amp sites and twenty 50amp sites. Daily admission is required for all guests.
There is a dump station located on the park grounds for your convenience.
$15 - $175 / night
Central Campground is a family-friendly primitive group campground found in the Platt Historic District of Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Nearby Travertine Creek provides several refreshing, spring-fed swimming areas to escape the summer heat. Other close attractions, such as Little Niagara and the Travertine Nature Center make this campground an ideal location for both beginner and experienced campers. Central Campground is only a few minutes away from the town of Sulphur.
Swimming and hiking are among the favorite activities at the campsite. A short walk takes you to Panther Falls, a refreshing swimming area. Nearby hiking trails meander along streams, past cool rushing waterfalls, and on to mineral and freshwater springs.
The springs and streams in Chickasaw originate within a region of Oklahoma characterized by complex geology. Intense faulting, folding, uplift and erosion have combined to form a land surface of gently rolling hills dissected by streams.
Try Little Niagara, a favorite freshwater swimming hole. The Travertine Nature Center is a wonderful resource to view nature exhibits, meet live animals on display, and listen to rangers' presentations. A bison pasture is nearby, so bring the kids and cameras to see the beautiful animals grazing.
Refunds will not be given due to inclement weather. Please read the official cancellation rules and policies of recreation.gov thoroughly before booking your campsite. Chickasaw National Recreation Area is not responsible for cancellation fees charged by recreation.gov.

bathrooms was very clean and wasn’t all hot and mucky was nice and cool in there. Very clean and love that it’s dog friendly. I suggest anyone to come with your friends and family have a nice day cooking, kicking back and playing some games
GuideCan’t beat this site for $29/night. The sites where we were at are a bit close together. It definitely would have been better to be further on the peninsula or at Cedar Cove or Elephant Rock But we were just happy there was a last-minute cancellation on their website allowing us to be here otherwise it was all booked up for the weekend (I just kept refreshing the booking page).
Bathrooms good. Access the water was close. Lake Murray is one of the more clear lakes in Oklahoma.
The golf course, which was beautiful & close, has super twilight hours (after 6pm) which made it very affordable $16pp w/cart.
Great visit. Will be back!

This was my first stop on a 4,000-mile trip from NW Arkansas to California and back. I met my brother and his wife who live just north of Fort Worth and spent two nights cooking and laughing around the campfire. The perfect start to an adventure.
The weather was cool and so not many bugs. Since this was a water-facing spot, I would consider the weather when booking. Great hikes. Don't forget to visit the tower while you're there.

All I can say is WOW, from the scenery, beautiful flowers display, to catch and release fishing to the adorable baby ducks this park is BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I absolutely love it here. Before arrival I spoke with Echo about what we needed in order to accommodate our stay and she was able to answer all our questions, upon arrival we met the sweetest young woman Taylor in the front office, she gave us all the information we needed, some history of the park and suggested restaurants and things to do locally. Brandon who informed us he did repairs and would be more then willing to help us as we are new to the RVing. The next morning we was having a minor cable issue(user error silly me) a gentleman name Anthony came to our site and had as ready to go in no time as the storms were coming in I wanted to be weather aware, as the day went on we was amazed by how much Anthony and the other gentleman outside did( I think his brother; they look a lot alike) to keep the park beautiful as well as helping anyone who stopped them throughout the day! 10/10 recommend this park and will be sharing with all my friends and family. Although, I didn’t get to meet Debra the manager this time during our stay, her staff spoke highly of her I believe she is doing a great job with the staff she has on hand. I am completely blown away and amazed with how much hospitality and joy this park brought us, you don’t see it much anymore. This park has such a homey feeling, the staff all seem like family and make you feel like you are apart of them. Keep up the good work red river rose you have definitely earned our business for many more years to come.

Camping areas are vast, but dirty with limited amenities. Have to fill up water at RV area. Scrambling and water areas are great though, lots of fun.
GuideWe stayed for an overnight with our 36’ trailer. It was easy to find and we chose the easiest spot to park. Our spot had a cement pad which was mostly level. The resort is well maintained and clean. Looks like a fun location with kids. Staff was polite and helpful.
Propane refill available on site (big plus).
Be ready for highway noise and the occasional train whistle.

Beautiful park with lots of trees, nice place to swim, walking trails, and a playground for the littles.

My family has camped, or 'Day Camped,' for birthdays, distant relative visits, etc. for years. We try to avoid July 4th time frame...just too crowded. Along ice cold Travertine Creek, quick dips or extended swims are mere steps away! Plenty of hiking trails nearby as well.
ScoutWe stayed in elephant rock 2 site 44, we had a great view of the lake, however we didn’t realize we would need 50 feet of hose just to hook up to the water, and there were glass bottles all in the swim area. Still had a great weekend and will stay here again!

Rude manager! And, everyone LIVES there. No place to camp and enjoy.
GuideTurner Falls is one of the most beautiful parks in the state, unfortunately, it's owned by the City of Davis and they're a little bit greedy when it comes to admission. Keep in mind when you're thinking about booking that your reservation price will also include the park access for each person/vehicle in your party. It's a little bit convoluted but they do disclose it if you dig around on their website.
Collings Castle is an extremely cool and pretty unique hike, especially if you're into abandoned places. It can get pretty crowded but there are plenty of nooks and crannies in the maze of buildings that you can duck into. Some folks think it may be haunted and I don't usually buy into stuff like that - but anyone who built a castle during the Great Depression probably had a few skeletons in their closet.
The falls are obviously stunning but the caves are a must-visit if you can find them. There are tons of secrets to find and natural mazes. Despite my issues with the ownership, Turner Falls is always worth a trip.
TravelerThis area of Lake Murray has a boat ramp but also a lot of beach space for swimming. There’s a sandbar that extends out into the water almost to Elephant Rock. Beautiful surround views of the lake, peaceful area. The water hookup was nearly 70’ from us so we did have to borrow a water hose.

I called to book. He said "no RSVP" required. Showed up, and called to let them know that we were there, and he told me that his wife would call right back; She never did call us back. We left, and went South wondering where would stay for the night, and a mile or two down the road we found Smoking Joes RV and Barbecue. What a Godsend. I'm new to RVing, and I've heard again, and again, lower your expectations and learn to roll with the punches and you'll be just fine. I'm finding that to be wisdom.

Ashley here with The Dyrt, extending a wam welcome to your host Melinda. Many local trails to explore or hop in the river. This is a great, family friendly campground. Book your stay and leave your review here!
ScoutGreat campground for RVers. Full hook ups but along the shoreline just electric and water
GuideWe paid a little more (about $7) to be right on the lake. Probably should've just got a pull-through site because we only stayed one night.
Traveler
Always have fun when I'm here with the family!
TravelerHonestly, great camping spots, you do need to get there early to grab a good spot, but it was great to use the all trails app to hike all around and visit the falls. The showers and rest rooms were really dirty, but in all honesty you’re there to camp.
RangerThe camping is primitive and we had access to a small natural pool area near falls. However, the rains messed up our tent and the bathrooms didn’t work.
ScoutI really enjoyed this park. Very accessible on a motorcycle. Nice campground area suitable for tents. Plenty of picnic tables and storm shelters and restrooms.

GuideThe bathrooms and showers were awesome. Good sized areas for tents. Swimming area was fun and easily accessible.
ScoutBeautiful campgrounds. Excellent trails. Really nice area of Oklahoma.

A nice rv hook up great family place
ScoutLake Murray is a favorite camping area for us. Camp grounds are clean, have childrens play area, and cost is reasonable. Cabins are available if no tent or camper. Lots of hiking trails, bring your atv or utv for a ride at their riding park.
TravelerWe camp at Lake Murray State park, Elephant rock RV area... Full hookups as well as some water and electric only. Of all the areas we camp.... this is the best. Hiking, golf, fishing, great Lodge with a wonderful place to eat... Foggy Bottom
GuideAs everyone else has said, crowds here are the worst. Not only does it just get busy: the crowds here are particular crude, litter, loud, and generally unpleasant (drunk). Don’t go on weekends. It simply won’t be worth it. Sneak a day off and go middle of the week.
Apart from humans the park itself is a wonder. Diverse plant life, awesome views, COLD water. Be sure to take the time to explore “the castle” it is Huge and if you can make it to the top you’ll be rewarded with a view. Be careful which rocks in the water you choose to sit on in the shallow fast moving water parts, many are covered with thousands of little tiny leeches!!!
