    Davis, Oklahoma

    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.
