    Cabins at Turner Falls Park provide basic accommodations with electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits. Several rental options line the creek running through the park, placing visitors near swimming areas. "The showers and rest rooms were really dirty, but in all honesty you're there to camp," noted a visitor on The Dyrt. Central Campground in Chickasaw National Recreation Area also offers cabin lodging, though with fewer amenities than other sites in the region. Lake Murray State Park features multiple cabin options across several campgrounds including Buzzards Roost, Cedar Grove, Elephant Rock, and Tipps Point.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are available depending on the location. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during summer months when occupancy reaches capacity. Some locations like Red River Rose RV Resort offer pet-friendly cabins with additional amenities such as showers and trash service. Deer Creek RV Park provides cabin options as a quieter alternative to the often crowded Turner Falls area. As one review mentioned, "Turner 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."

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary considerably between properties, from basic fire rings to equipped kitchenettes. The Falls RV Park and Mana Farm Davis both offer cabin rentals with electric hookups and shared bathroom facilities. Firewood is available for purchase at several locations, including Turner Falls Park and Tipps Point Campground. Visitors should verify whether drinking water is provided, as some cabins lack this amenity. During winter months, cabins with heating become essential, as temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.

      Do Drop Inn RV Resort

      Nice Park!

      Not too far from Highway 75 and the Choctaw Resort. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. No road noise- very quiet. 

      First things first - be prepared for a longer-than-usual registration process. I've never had a registration process require as much information, or take as long as this one did. You will need the driver's license of every person in your party - adults and teenagers. They will scan and retain each of them. You will need to provide actual copies of the insurance policies for both your RV and your tow (or Toad) vehicle, along with the license plate numbers for all vehicles. If you are using a Good Sam's discount, make sure that you have the membership number and expiration date. 

      Most check-in procedures at parks take a couple of minutes, but not here. Thank goodness we were the only ones checking in, or it would have been a lengthy ordeal. So, be prepared in advance and have all of this with you to speed up the process. At first, I couldn't figure out why they required all of this information, then it dawned on me- this is predominantly a park for full-time residents, and that would be the information they'd require of people living there. 

      It's off the beaten path, so you're not going to get that many travelers. As we walked through the park, I noticed that close to 100% of the rigs are full-timers. In my experience, most parks that cater to full-timers are kind of sketchy and don't really appeal to travelers - not this one. This is labeled as a resort, and it probably is the nicest RV park that we've ever visited that is predominantly full-timers. 

      Please don't have any reservations about staying here, as you will feel welcome. We were assigned to pull-through site number 40. All the sites are concrete and appear level. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. 

      Bathrooms, Showers, and Laundry are all located on the back side of the office building and are in great shape with a keyed entry. There is great Wi-Fi in the park with repeaters near all the sites. We had AT&T 5G with 2 bars. Starlink reception was not an issue due to no large trees. Their website lists all of the amenities, and I've included photos of the park. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. This park deserves its high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy!

      Eisenhower State Park Campground

      Very fun RV camping

      RV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).

      Buzzards Roost — Lake Murray State Park

      Quick Stop while traveling

      Lots of activities boat/ horseback riding/hiking. We Just stopped on our way from Kansas City to Austin. Very quiet in March. Not sure about the rest of the time.

      Elephant Rock Campground — Lake Murray State Park

      Lake front site

      Love our stay at Lake Murray. The park was very quiet while we visited. We opted for a back in sit along the lake. The site was plenty big enough for our 27 ft trailer and tow vehicle.

      Eisenhower State Park Campground

      Nice park overall. Clean and secure.

      I’ve been here several times over the last few years (latest oct 2025). I like the hiking trails and the amazing beauty of the outdoors. The lake is pretty and probably fun to fish or boat on. I didn’t do this while I was there. There is a small onsite store. The roads are maintained and paved and the campsites are very nice sized with long parking spots for campers. Some tent sites have power and some even have large screen shelters. The park is monitored by state police throughout the day and night and that is good to keep the trouble away.

      Turner Falls Park

      Turner falls

      Fun area with waterfall, camping, swimming, and zip lines. You have to pay to enter the park and than you have access to everything inside including restaurants and stores. It can get real loud in here as people tend to have music playing loud ALL DAY. The trails are awesome, there is even a cave in an off the trail area back behind the bathrooms at the waterfall. Stay in the wash out area and hike up a ways and than off to your left you climb this up hill rock boulder up to the cave. I'd ask for directions. There are trails back there to that take you up the creek above the waterfall. It's a big area

      Soggy Bottom Trails & Campground

      Trails mean offroading!

      What a trip into another world! Arrived just as mud bogging event begins for the weekend. Giant trucks, loud engines and enormous tires racing through mud bogs. Lots of beer, music, laughter and kids. If you join in , bring ear plugs and expect to get good and dirty. Takes me back to my redneck roots.

      Well Shaded

      Most camp sites are shaded with pull through sites full hook ups, well maintained and quiet.

    Guide to Chickasaw National Recreation Area

    Cabin options near Chickasaw National Recreation Area are scattered across several parks within the Arbuckle Mountain region. These rustic lodgings provide shelter in an area that experiences significant temperature variations, from summer highs over 90°F to winter nights below freezing. Lake Murray State Park contains the highest concentration of cabin rentals, though smaller private facilities offer alternatives with varying amenities and proximity to water features.

    What to do

    Explore Tucker Tower: At Lake Murray State Park, visitors can kayak to the historic tower that overlooks the lake. "The tower has a dock if you want to take the tour. Oklahoma is often known for its red/brown lakes, but Lake Murray is an exception. Green/blue waters were clear enough to see the tip of my paddle when stuck straight down 4-5 feet," notes one camper.

    Hike through diverse terrain: The trails near cabin areas provide opportunities for families to explore natural features. "Hiking is a must-do with caves and waterfalls. Swimming along the falls is also quite memorable (bring water shoes, though not required)," explains a visitor at Turner Falls Park.

    Winter camping adventures: For off-season visitors, cabins provide essential shelter. "We wanted to end this terrible year (2020) and start the new one (2021) fresh while camping. We stayed at Point campground in spot 47. Never camped here before and can't wait to come back," shares a winter visitor to Chickasaw Recreation Area.

    What campers like

    Privacy and spacing: Some cabin areas feature more secluded options. "We chose this site which was conveniently located near a nature trail with a beautiful lookout point, as well as a hiking trail," writes a camper about Buzzards Roost Campground.

    Water access from sites: Many visitors appreciate cabins with easy water entry points. "Our spot had a small little sandy beach just perfect for fishing & launching a kayak," notes a visitor to Cedar Grove Campground.

    Off-peak serenity: Cabin visitors often recommend avoiding summer crowds. "As everyone else has said, crowds here are the worst. 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," advises a Turner Falls visitor.

    What you should know

    Water clarity varies: Unlike some Oklahoma lakes, certain areas feature exceptionally clear water. "Lake Murray is one of the more clear lakes in Oklahoma," reports a visitor to Tipps Point Campground.

    Temperature fluctuations: Cabin campers should prepare for unexpected weather. "I camped here in November and was not at all prepared for how cold it was at night. We arrived after dark and set up and went to sleep right away," cautions a Turner Falls visitor.

    Pest considerations: Some natural hazards exist in warmer months. "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," warns a Turner Falls Park visitor.

    Tips for camping with families

    Campground selection impacts experience: Some cabin areas are better suited for families than others. "We really love coming to Elephant Rock. It has great options - some spots are secluded in the trees and some are open in the middle areas if you want to be around people. It has lake access, great playgrounds for kids, close to town with everything you need," recommends a camper at Elephant Rock Campground.

    Bathroom facility quality: Shower and restroom conditions can significantly impact family stays. "The bathrooms and showers were awesome. Good sized areas for tents. Swimming area was fun and easily accessible," notes a visitor to Tipps Point.

    Activity planning: Families should reserve activities in advance during peak seasons. "If you want to rent a boat or jet skis I recommend booking that FAR in advance, just FYI," advises a Cedar Grove visitor.

    Tips from RVers

    Water hookup distances: Some cabin and RV sites require extra equipment. "The water hookup was nearly 70' from us so we did have to borrow a water hose," explains a Cedar Grove Campground visitor.

    Site characteristics: RV travelers note the importance of researching specific site features. "The site (BR011) was hard to back into. The approach is narrow and there's a large boulder right in the turn path of the tow vehicle. It also leans slightly downhill so leveling pads were critical," warns a Red River Rose RV Resort guest.

    Alternative park options: Less crowded alternatives exist to popular destinations. "When traveling through Oklahoma along the major highway there are several options for accommodation. I found this park to be very easy to access for those who might have issues otherwise," shares a visitor about a quieter RV park option.
