Turner Falls Park Reviews

The water was so cool even though it was blistering hot 🔥 The kids loved the slide and diving board. The rocks are a bit slippery for us older folks so be super careful. Really good water shoes are important for all parties. The bathrooms were nice and mostly clean. So much fun and a super cool place to hang all day.

Water felt amazing! Falls were beautiful and the Blue hole was so fun! Might make it an annual pre- back to school trip with grand kids!

A beautiful place to rest, take tours, enjoy the scenery and take a swim in its crystal clear waters. It's our second visit. We'll be back!

Awesome time. Spent it along the river. Our normal spot used to have trees and we would hammock off them right by the water. They cut down all the trees and left us to find another spot. It being turner falls, there are spots everywhere so it worked out

Very beautiful and such a fun place to be. Staff so friendly. Highly RECOMMEND taking family or partner for a nice relaxing getaway.

This was a great time of year to visit. There were not a lot of people and we really didn't need to share tables, swimming or fishing holes. Great trails, fishing was not good, but fun anyway, even though the mail pool was closed, we found other swimming sites. Beware of venomous snakes. We only saw one juvenile, but if you are not careful... We saw deer and turkeys in the late afternoon.

Nice accommodations, so glad there was heat!!! Love that we had our own bathroom and shower! Excellent addition to the park!

It was beautiful and not overly crowded. The restrooms are what you would typically find at any outdoor park location. We did encounter some trash throughout the park. That’s just because visitors need to do better. Take your trash with you!!! The water is cold but many visitors were still swimming. The paved roads allow for a wagon to be pulled if you have to park in level 2 or 3. Either pack light or take a wagon. We arrived at about 10 and parked in level 1.

They should address a long line at the entrance, it takes approximately 1 hour to enter the place, one line is maked as "RV keep left", but later realized that the line for "RV + all vehicles". change the sign board so that the long one car line will be merged into 2 lines, apart from that, it is must visit place.

A good time very beautiful but tons and tons of people can't get to the Falls it's got a rope to keep you out . Life guards watching you kinda ruins the vibe. I wish it was the 70s .

Always great, we also did the zip line which was fun. There are many places to get in and swim, a slide and diving board and of course the water falls.

Amazing views! The staff was very friendly & helpful. We spent the entire day floating on Honey Creek. It was crowded but it was easy to find a spot where there wasn’t a lot of people (we went on a Monday tho). They had lots of restrooms nearby & even a small shop to buy food. The trading post has a lot of camping supplies too. Went just for a day trip but would definitely go back for a longer stay & overnight camping. The water is cold & very clean. We had a wonderful experience!

We enjoyed the peaceful area. It was my husband's first time visiting the area. Him and our kids enjoyed cooking and just hanging out. It was our first real get away. Thank you for having somewhere to go for the day.

Excellent and wonderful place to visit. Will suggest my friends to visit. Booking is very easy And the other food and safety facility is also very good!

Expensive and definitely not worth it. Water is dirty. Slippery rocks. Snakes on water and frogs. Lots of bugs. The castle is in very bad condition. Again, not worth it. Save your money.

We had so much fun. Their were lots of things to do and see. We had fun swimming and seeing the waterfall. The castle was a amazing. We loved the caves.

Everything was fabulous but the shower in cabin 5 needs something done to the shower head. Water hurts when hitting the body

They’ve seriously upgrade, the best place to go camping! My family loves coming here, and we’re keeping it as tradition every year!

So much fun climbing through the creek! Had a couple good size swimming holes, one had a slide and diving board, other one had the waterfall. I had 2 teenage boys with me, and they loved it! I couldn’t get them out of the water long enough to even eat lunch! The castle was cool looking, the views of the bluffs were pretty.
Only complaint I had was the gift shop. The girls didn’t seem to know what to do, they rang up our order wrong, didn’t want to refund it at first, then finally figured out how to do that. Rang up order again and prices still didn’t match up but wasn’t worth the $5 to mess with the hassle again. Watch the price tags on what your buying, they ring up for more at the register.

My family and I recently visited Turner Falls Park and it was absolutely beautiful!! The views were breathtaking, especially the view of the waterfall. I expected a big crowd since it’s summer but there was plenty of space. We were able to choose a picnic table with shade. Definitely recommend visiting if you’re in the area.

This was my first time to Turner Falls and I couldn’t be happier! The place is absolutely beautiful. So many different areas to swim and hang out with the family. The castles were very fascinating, but there’s lots of stairs so it’s not for everyone. We went on a Wednesday in June, and it was surprisingly not busy at all! I expected a lot more people with it being summer but it was PERFECT!

Arrive early to get a nearby parking area and there are too many people waiting, so transportation takes a long time.

A perfect place to check out with our 12, 10 and 3 year old kids. There were so many different areas to check out. The main falls area was incredibly busy on a Sunday, but fortunately there were many other areas to check out.

We were allowed in a couple of hours early, to make up for a mistake on their website at the time of booking regarding pets. For that, I am grateful. The gentlemen I dealt with was very polite. The location and view was awesome, and it was nice to have the luxury of a "home" after a long day at the Falls.

That said, the cabin needs a lot of work done. All of the flooring is uneven, especially in the bedroom. Several of the light switches didn't work, and some of the electrical outlets were suspect. The fan on the back porch didn't work properly (it would've wobbled off the deck ceiling). The railing was wobbly, and loose in some place. The satellite couldn't get signal a lot of the time, seemingly due to a tree in the way where the dish is mounted. The doors for the bedroom and the bedroom deck were difficult to open and close, and the other 2 entry doors were weak and wobbly (I know I'm using that word a lot, for lack of better terms). The light above the shower didnt work. The coffee maker had old grounds caked inside the bin, and the dishes in the cabinet were still wet from the previous occupant(s). There was random equipment lying around on the ground (a giant ladder, saw horses, boards, etc). I understand they were doing some work on the deck, but when they left, stuff was lying around - which was not necessarily safe for the kiddos. There was quite a bit of trash around the property. The stationary grill was rusted out, and holding on by a wing & a prayer. Those were just some of the functional issues that stick out, now that we're back home. There were also some roaches, and my friend swears he heard a mouse scurrying across the floor in the middle of the night.
All in all, we had a good time, but for what we spent to stay there for 1 night, I'm a little disappointed. I think next time we'll check other spots.

I’ve been to Turner Falls about five times now and every time it’s the same wonderful experience. We started on level three and floated all the way down to the fall on inner tubes. It was a beautiful time.

All the installations were good and clean., but the organization on the bus was really bad. There were only two buses for a lot of impatient people, and most of the staff had a bad attitude. I don't think we will go back again.
Also, it's way too pricey — much more expensive than it's worth.

It’s great and we had a blast but the parking is inconvenient. It is so far away from the main area. It has beautiful views and the little hiking trails were great and the highlight of the day. It’s a great place for about 5-6 hours but can be kinda boring after that if your not into just sitting around.

If you go up the right side of the waterfall you can climb up to a nice cave, very neat access. My son and i enjoyed it. Very family friendly and restrooms actually had soap.

I have a daughter with Spina Bifida. This place is just right for her to get out into nature. Easy to get around and plenty to see. If I could change one thing I would ask for a ramp update at the castle, but I know how long it has been there. I'm not trying to rush anything.

The price is absurd. We paid $150 for two nights of camping. This is more than it costs to camp at the Grand Canyon. Big Bend. You name any of the big hits. It's a fine park. Fun for kids to play in water. But the price is obscene for what the park entails.

Perks: Water access at most sites, life guards at Blue Hole swimming.

Knocks: No assigned campsites made for a very awkward experience where people crowded into other people's spaces, we didn't have our own campfire - had to share, and while I'm sure this was seasonal, the bees were swarming and relentless and in great numbers.

Overall, I'd describe the park as kitsch, overpriced, but worth a day trip for kids sake.

The view was amazing! My family and I took tons of videos and photos of the surrounding area. The environment was very calm and not too crowded or rowdy. This place makes the perfect visit when visiting.

We had the best time took our family from California they loved it we definitely would recommend and plan on going again.

The waterfall was cool. You could get in the water if you wanted. We it our feet in. The castle exploration was cool. We saw people ziplining. We would want to go in the summer when it was warmer, more swimming was open, and concessions were open.

$25 a person is an insane amount for city park with a small waterfall & nothing to do there but a very small swim hole & a few walking trails. Don’t waste your time and money we will never go back huge waste of our time & money.

The experience of going for the first time was ok. Took forever to get in, I paid for level 1 parking yet couldn't park, so clearly too many r being sold if not enough spaces r available. Plus the so called gift shop was a huge disappointment.

First time visiting and we really enjoyed it. It was surprising pretty empty. I imagine as the weather gets warmer it gets busier. The only thing that could have been improved was the visibility of some of the trails. We started on what looked like a trail but lost it halfway through and had no idea where it went. We made it back fine, but not sure if we even ended on a trail. Maybe leaves had covered it and made it harder to find? Either way we still really enjoyed ourselves and we will definitely be back. Bathrooms were clean and parking lots were pretty close.

First time with my family and The views were Beautiful, The water fall amazing and the food truck Evan’s Food 👌🏽 the loaded chicken fries and the bacon burger was sooo delicious. We missed the caves but will definitely be back. Beautiful place.

When my friend mentioned she wanted to go to Turner Falls, I was super excited as I’ve always wanted to go and have heard good things about it!

We get there on a summer weekend, knowing it would be expensive, but $80+ for 3 people, 2 students and 1 military, and parking was wicked. The hidden taxes they add on grabbed us by surprise, but we carried on.

We park and grab our sandwiches and chips and make our way over to a picnic table to have lunch and are attacked by wasps or hornets immediately. We can’t sit down to eat because we have to keep running around to get the hornets off us. We quickly ate our sandwiches, put the chips in the car, and headed to the waterfall, hoping to put the hornets behind us.

We hike to the upper part of the falls because the pool at the base of the fall was crowded to be expected. There’s trash all over the hiking trail and in the water, with hornets eating said trash.

We get in the water, and are just sitting down, enjoying the views, the beautiful day and the falls. We’ve only been sitting in the flowing water on the rocks for a couple minutes when my friend noticed tiny black worms attached to her legs and on the rocks around us. We quickly get out of the water and brush them off us. That was the final straw, as we didn’t want to get back in the water with the leeches.

After our visit, I did some research and there is nothing mentioned about leeches or hornets at Turner Falls, which is why I’m writing my review, so people know what they’re paying a premium price for.

We were impressed with the improvements that the park has made in the 4 years since we were last there. It’s clear the city of Davis is reinvesting in the park to make it even better. We had the opportunity to speak with 5 different park employees while we were there (due to a ticket issue on my part, and someone having run over the electrical pedestal in the RV park). Every single person was very friendly and helpful, despite the fact that we were there on an extremely high volume weekend. We were also amazed by how well the management kept the park clean, especially with so many people.

Beautiful place to spend good family time . We have been here before and made our second visit with our family and friends.

Great time of year for our first visit. Off season, perfect weather, no crowds. Beautiful area to see the sights and take in some trails. Lots of picnic spots with great views. We look forward to coming back and visit during different times of the year.

It was everything that I dreamed it be. I plan on coming back and may try and stay at one of their cabins or shelters for more convenience. The experience was well worth the time.

So pretty! It was pretty busy but the staff was great. Very helpful. I forgot the kids lifejackets in the car and one of the lifeguards drove me back up to level 2 to grab them since it was such a long walk. The park was clean. Lifeguards were making sure everyone stays safe. We will definitely be back!

The views were amazing and the weather was perfect for our March trip. Love these unique wagons to camp in too! Definitely coming back during the summer.

Amazing nature park! Absolutely beautiful!!! The water fall was wonderful and there was so many beautiful nature features!!! They keep the park very clean and well maintained. The staff on the other hand was terrible :( we when to the park for 2 days in a row and both times the gate keepers were extremely rude and had no customer service and it really effected our experience with the park. At the main waterfall there were two life guards and both of them very clearly did not care about their jobs, both were looking at their phones and not once looked at the water, same with the other 2 life guards at the blue hole pool. I wish there was better Signage throught the park, we got lost multiple times because the roads and signs were not clear.

perfect most amazing teip near to dallas, start some rides for kids also , other wise most enjoyable trip .thanku so much

Turner Falls is a beautiful spot with amazing views, clear water, and gorgeous waterfalls. We had fun hiking, swimming, exploring, and celebrating a family birthday.

Unfortunately, the park was covered in litter—on trails, riverbanks, and even in the water. Camping could have been great, but loud music late into the night ruined the experience. For the high cost of admission and camping, we expected much better upkeep and more park ranger/security presence.

We’re glad we visited once, but sadly we left disappointed and won’t be returning unless big improvements are made.

We had wagon 5 reserved and the whole set up is pretty nice. However our bath house didn’t have hot or even warm water. Also it should be made clear on check in that each wagon has their own private bath because while we had our unlocked while sitting around the fire and everyone was taking their turns showering- another member from another wagon went into our bath house shower which was run to walk into.

Beautiful place! Numerous locations within the park to get in the water. Fun, safe way to enjoy natural water swimming. The hiking trails are very nice as well.

We visited in a Saturday and it was very busy. We expected that. Our reservation was at 11 and we weren’t able to get parked until 12. If you can book ahead of time that helps the line for everyone. I paid for VIP parking and assumed that would be close to the falls. However it was closer to the blue pools which were great but because the falls were a distance away and had to walk we couldn’t see them. They have a shuttle that takes you there $7 and one that takes you there and back $12. I had already spend $50 on my visit alone and couldn’t afford to spend more. Pay close attention to where your parking pass is so you don’t make the same mistake I did. We had a great time but were a little confused by where to go and that the falls weren’t easier to get to or find. We want to go again now that we know what to expect.

This park has a lot to offer exploring the hikes around the falls. Be sure to view the falls from ground level and above. Walk the stairs above the bigger castle, way up, and turn left for a viewpoint of the falls from above. So worth the ascent. Not printed on the park map. (No guardrails - don't let your kids run ahead.). I wish the map was more accurate. Thankful we visited during the off season. No crowds. Very quiet. Everyone very friendly. Park very clean. Day visit.

We had a lovely time at this spot. Beautiful clear water, nice trails, great bathrooms, clean park, and plenty of space. It seemed like we hit off season, so we had many areas to ourselves and felt fully immersed in nature. Thank you for preserving this gem for us to enjoy!

Just opened, we might have been the first ones to stay. The wagons are roomy, king bed and a bunk bed. Sleeps four easy. Has little table for meal prep, can’t use cooking equipment in wagon - bring stove or what to use outside on your private picnic table. Enjoy the shared large fire pit and roasting marshmallows. The private bath house is great, good size shower. Bring your own towels, soap etc.. no real storage or shelf space in the bath house- use a bag to take back and forth- you can leave things in the bath house , it does have lock same as the wagon. There are plenty of outlets with usb, but get outside and enjoy the area. There are multiple trails just right out the back of the wagon, you can walk across the level 2a parking lot and down the castle steps to the falls(these steps are steep and narrow- not wagon or stroller friendly or if you are older ). Or you can take the bus from the parking lot down. Or there are easy trails past the other bunk house down to peaceful river spots to enjoy a soak without all the crowds.
Overall was a great enjoyable stay, with wildlife and sunrise.

The best trip! Everything is well kept and easy to follow. So much fun exploring and swimming. Roads are well maintained and easy to follow. Trial paths are easily marked and easy to explore. Truck ride back up the mountain was very fun. All staff was helpful and nice. Will definitely be back.

We were very disappointed with our experience during this visit. The staff was rude, and simply trying to access the swimming areas or store turned into an unnecessarily stressful ordeal.

You are required to pay an entry fee plus purchase a separate parking pass—something not clearly stated on the website when checking rates or booking a cabin. There are three levels of parking, and if you want to be anywhere near the store or swimming areas, you must purchase a Level 1 or 2 pass. Level 3, which is the least expensive, is extremely far away. It took us over an hour to reach the waterfall area from there because we had to wait for a parking space to open up. Level 2 lot is the only area where the shuttle will drop off.

While trying to drop our family off closer which included my elderly mother, who uses a walker. We politely asked to park in Level 1 for just a few minutes to unload her. The parking attendant refused because we didn’t have the correct pass. Rather than offering assistance or helping us find a reasonable solution, the attendant threatened to call the police and have us removed. This was completely uncalled for, disrespectful, and deeply upsetting.

We paid a significant amount for our cabin stay, and no parking pass was included—or even mentioned—during booking. For the price we paid, we expected clear communication, respectful staff, and a basic level of hospitality.

I’ve brought my children here since they were little, and we’ve always loved our time here. Sadly, even they were disappointed this time and said they wouldn’t return with their own families in the future. It’s heartbreaking to see a place we once cherished become so unwelcoming.

No dogs. :(

There was a time when pets were allowed and it was so fun letting my dog climb around the hills and explore the trails with me. They deserve new experiences like that in their short lives.

I should’ve checked before I went, but at least the girl that scanned my QR code let me know that I can go to another similar park 20 minutes away that is pet friendly.

Way too expensive for a family! Be aware. 2 nights camping in a tent, 4 adults, permit, 329$ and some change. Ridiculous!

It was a nice and peaceful day with beautiful scenery. We’ve come here multiple times and will be back again. Felt a little less packed which added to the enjoyment of the visit as we were able to move around better.

Just an amazing experience in all!!! The scenery was breath taking! Not to mention the wild life that really didn't seam to mind that you were in their territory and home. It just felt like you were seeing the hand of the creator at work on a masterpiece that many of us have not seen.Clean and beautiful all the way around!

Horrible me and my family came and we’re not satisfied so 1 star it was a scam and we couldn’t find caves or chill water spots

The scenery is very nice but I'm from Oklahoma and the Texan rider is too much and doesn't really leave us much room to fully enjoy

Fist time here. Views were nice and uncrowded due to time of year and weather. Waterfall was nice, castles were super cool, the cave nearest the waterfall was pretty neat and challenging to get in. The restrooms on the hike were surprisingly very clean. The only downside to us was that the trails were not really marked and on some of them there were many beaten off-shoots that were not part of the trail. AllTrails suggested there was a giant loop encompassing the entire park but maybe it required us to go thru the trees to connect; regardless, we'd come back during the warmer months to experience the swimming.

We had gotten to the park earlier in the day around 10 AM and were able to park by a picnic table and some shade! There were several places along the falls to play in the water. My kids loved the Blue Hole where the slide and diving board was located. Overall, it was a great experience. I only wish that they had more bathrooms available instead of portable toilets by our area.

My family had a great time at falls, especially kids enjoyed a lot in the water. We took few pictures as we wanted to make a memorable trip.

It was very crowded lots of trash on the trails. I even saw a tampon by one of the caves. It was disgusting. I was very disappointed. Lots of people down by the water, all play music loudly. Not worth the money we paid to get in. 50 bucks for 2 adults and a 2 an a half out drive. Thought we were gonna get a nice nature hike and some time in the water, but it was more like an amusement park. Would not recommend

Loved the waterfall and the slide! There was definitely lots to do, and plenty of food trucks around. The only thing we didn’t like was that we pre paid for level 1 parking online, but when we got there all level 1 parking was already taken.

this was our 2nd trip and it was so memorable for me wifey and daughter. especially the view from top is more amazing than the fall. would love to go again.

Use a backpack cooler. Felt bottom shoes would have been nice. Everything is very slick. USCG life jackets for up to 12yo are mandatory and for good reason.

Great place to hike! Turner Falls was beautiful with some frozen pieces of ice! The two castles were pretty amazing! The craftsmanship and use of local rock to construct was awesome!

Wanted to stay longer. We ate hamburgers at fat bullys down the street. Walked miles on the trails. Camping or staying in a cabin in the winter

Trip was refreshing. The water was great the employees were friendly. Little lacking on accessibility to some features for those who have trouble getting around

Had a wonderful time! Not crowded mid- week and really enjoyed the water & exploring with the grandkids. The park is beautiful!

It was a good experience and the person at the gate was very helpful with a welcoming smile. What I could not understand was the $12.00 tax on a $ 36 ticket price for four seniors. It was not a luxury trip for us. Thanks.

Always an amazing time at Turner Falls. The water is sparkling and cool and the shaded picnic spots are perfect for lunch on the river. My dad said the snow cones were the best he has ever had in his life (he’s nearly 70). Improvements happening on every corner. We will be back soon. This is our 2nd time in 2 weeks and we live 2.5 hours away.

place is amazing, plenty of things to do in a day and a weekend for sure! we will definitely go back, but wish they had a better entry system it takes forever!! We waited in line over an hour to get in. overall it was a blast!

Amazing views! Water was amazing! Waterslides and diving board were super fun to use! They have food trucks and plenty of parking.

First time there and it was amazing the view was awesome the water felt good only if I was prepared more meaning shoes wise.

Everything was beautiful. The only downfall was locating the trails we wanted to hike. The map is confusing and not very accurate and there were few to no signs letting you know where the trails are. The one sign we found just said “pedestrian trail”.

We were a scout troop visiting Turner Falls. It was an amazing experience for the kids to do their service project, and enjoy the falls afterwards. The hosts are very accommodating and we appreciate them for the experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Turner Falls. We had so much fun swimming, hiking, using the waterhole, along with the diving board, and water slide! We stayed until it closed and loved every second!

My Granddaughters and I had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. It wasn’t very crowded which made it even better. We will be back.

Amazing place with beautiful natural waterfalls and forest
Good place for a small hiking
Castle is a must visit.
Family rest rooms are available at level2 , free parking at level1 from there free bus shuttle available on weekends and holidays.

Turner Falls is a beautiful place, the Castle was cool to see, not much water but we did go in October so it is understandable. Just wished the trails would have been marked better.
There was some pretty loud music being played too while where we were there. Not sure if it was for an event or what.

What a nice break from the heat and all the concrete of OKC. We had a nice time walking the trails, taking photos and relaxing. Very well laid out park and lots to do for families.

Had lots of fun! Wish I had known about this place sooner! We spent 5 hours playing in the water fall, walking and swimming in the river, and hiking the trails.

It was not clean as I expected. it was very crowded, the tickets were expensive!!!
it should be half price! I may not go again.

The park is clean and the family enjoys it. Cooking and swimming or playing in the water all day. Maybe build a couple more like kiosk with a table and grill around the the park would be nice. Thanks turner falls for the awesome 4th of July.

We go the last Sunday of July every year as a family to celebrate the end of summer. The new parking was well made & the new shuttles were very nice & accommodating. I only have one request & that is a better path to walk from the falls to the blue hole. I highly recommend visiting the park if you haven’t.

The views and the castle were just amazing! We took so many photo and vids ready to portrait and save them as memories, y’all should definitely visit here!

The waterfall and castle are spectacular. We enjoyed Honey Creek and the blue hole pool. We packed a lunch and spent the day there. With the cost of entrance per person and the amount of visitors they should renovate the bathrooms though. There was zero enforcement of no glass bottles. People had beer bottles in the water. Numerous people are barefoot and it’s a safety concern. I wish people were not so nasty and throwing trash down all the time either =|

This has been a family tradition for years and we have always had a great time. The easy booking we tried this year and it was great till we got there and we bought 9level 1 Peking passes we only used 6 which was not a problem till we found out that they over sell the level 1 parking passes and we didn’t have anywhere to park so we had to wait while people left this was inconvenient and irritating since that’s the whole reason we bought online so we had guaranteed parking. Other then that we have always made great memories there and love the new amities.

First timer. We went on 4th of July and upon arrival, the line to enter was very long and we had to wait about an hour to get in. Figuring out the parking was a little tricky, but eventually, we got it figured out. Gentlemen, level, one parking let us park to take out our stuff, he was very nice and did not have to let us do that. We found a spot close to the blue hole and once we got settled in, headed to the blue hole and had such a great area. They had the Slide and Diving board, which is so much fun for adults and kids.
We got the shuttle to go Check out the waterfall. It was a very crowded area, but the waterfall is gorgeous and pretty site. We stopped at the place selling snowcone, and we got a snowcone and a funnel cake, which were excellent. Our way back to the blue hole and did a few more diving board jumps and a few more times on the slide before we had to go. Overall, a great trip definitely will be back soon.

Fun, relaxing place. Very clean and pretty. Lots of shade/picnic spots. It's a very big campus, requires a lot of walking from all parking (including VIP parking) to falls and food/drinks. Food/drink vendor ordering run very inefficiently. No number type system. Just take an order, wait till order is completed, take next order... Loooong wait time, people allowed to cut ahead to order, very frustrating. Recommend bringing all your own supplies, including flotation devices. VERY expensive to buy on location. Rules not well enforced - MANY children under legal life jacket age limit, not enforced till late afternoon. No climbing on rocks or going under waterfall signs clearly posted, people doing it all day, no enforcement. Took lightening/storm safety very seriously.

Took the family on a trip to Oklahoma from DFW and this is much closer than NM Blue Hole. We were here in the off season earlier this year and spent time at the castle / hiking side. Now that it was summer we dove into the natural blue holes here and absolutely loved it. The kids already asked to come back before school starts. There are shallow spots for little kids (but slippery in some spots) and medium depth portions for bigger kids to swim and of course some much deeper section under active lifeguards for the strong swimmers. Highly recommend and it's very possible, we'll be back in the next 6 weeks.

We had such a great time. Enjoyed the slides and diving board, the waterfall and caves, and the river up top. My only complaint would be the trash around the park. Wish people were more considerate and take away the trash they bring.

The waterfall was a little underwhelming, but it was fun climbing to the top of it and exploring the abandoned castle nearby.

Took so many photos views were amazing! Hiking was moderate. Totally worth it at the end though bc of the views.
Loved the waterfalls 😍

Please save your time and money and go somewhere else. The company that owns it scams you with parking tickets. They claim that you have to walk and do not mention trolleys. They have a dangerous path that forbids walking, and there are absolutely no signs indicating any other option. The staff are not helpful and even when we asked do we have to walk 15 minutes to the fall they said 'yes'. (25 minutes at level 3). The horse poop leaks everywhere, including into the water. The water is not clear the bathrooms are horrible. Ticket prices for a natural resource that is badly maintained is ridiculous and kids have to have their own life vests - they don't even have lifeguards. What exactly do you pay for then? We should complain more and get the message out.

Although the weather did not cooperate, we had a great time! The kids loved the water, the trails and above the covered areas. I liked how there was security/police everywhere making sure we were all safe and following the rules. Will definitely be back!

It was wonderful , very peaceful and relaxing , maintained and cleaned . We loved it first time visitors and we really enjoyed ourselves and will be back .

Loved the experience and do plan to come back. Parking was easy. Park was clean. Staff was friendly. Beautiful place for sure

Great weekend get away ! The water was kinda cold but after a while I got used to it. I wish there were more food and drink vendors .

The place never disappoints. We took some friends here during the weekday. Not busy at all and plenty of parking. Stayed 5 hours and could've stayed more. Highly recommend

Everything was overall great! Super fun unique experience staying in a wagon. Of course it would've been nice if there wasn't a burn ban. But the biggest thing was there were no towels provided. For paying nearly 300 you would expect towels. Definitely advise checking the wind because if it's gusty you won't sleep and feel like your going to fly away!

We had a fabulous time! We stayed in the covered Wagon which was really nice! We also enjoyed the fact that each Wagon is assigned their own private locked shower room that is super close to the Wagon! Of course the area is phenomenal! Soo enjoyed it, can't wait to go back!

As beautiful as ever. If only people would clean up after themselves. But overall the actual park and water are very well kept.

Such a fun family trip for us and our 2 kids (13yo and 11yo). Turner Falls was absolutely beautiful and better than any pictures show. We really enjoyed hiking and hoping along all the rocks down the long and windy creek. We played cards and chased fire flies. Staying in the Wagon was a novelty experience and added to the fun. The mattresses were very comfortable and the private restroom was clean and comfortable. This is a MUST DO experience for families looking to get away from the electronics for a couple of days and reconnect with their kids while having some fun in nature.

The covered wagons were absolutely worth it. They have locks on the doors and a personal restroom. The Heater and AC worked perfectly. Cleanliness was spot on. They have grills on the opposite side of the wagon circle. ❤️ I will definitely be returning but only during the winter season. It gets very crowded during the summer season.

The view amazing love coming to this place every year if possible. Love the new updates they have done . Liked how it used to look but they have upgraded something’s . Love the showers they put in and extra cabins

Everything very beautiful 💚 💚 an extraordinary experience very nice everything I really liked because woe places for my small turns

I would love to rate turner falls higher, but the check-in process is horrible. I understand it’s off season, but you still should have 2 lines open during a large check in time. They are so strict yet, cut into my paying time of trying to enjoy the park.

The place is beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot.

I think they should be stricter with the garbage to lay rules.

I picked up what I found but I saw many throwing garbage and some eating inside the water and they left the garbage there. I think they should have more rules and someone who applies them.

I find it so rude and bad for the environment.

El lugar es precioso y lo disfrutamos mucho.
Creo que deberían de ser mas estrictos con la basura poner reglas.
Yo recogí lo que encontré pero ví a muchos tirando basura y algunos comiendo adentro del agua y dejaron la basura ahí. Yo creo que deben tener más reglas y a alguien que las aplique.
Se me hace tan grocero y malo para el ambiente.

Turner Falls was a disappointment but could be so much better. They have one area the waterfall that is good but it is not worth drive from Dallas. They have so many opportunities for amazing hiking but don’t maximize. They list several trails but no signage or lengths. We camped and the sites are less than desirable. I’m not sure they are really served. No lights in bathrooms. No sinks fyi. It was a beautiful area just not being maximized.

It was a relaxing experience! The waters were nice and refreshing. Sightseeing was so nice too! Parking in the 1st grounds was the best thing cause everything is closer to the castles and the big waterfalls.

Had an amazing day enjoying God’s beautiful creation. First visit and loved everything! I took my son and a friend on a Friday in early August. We were only there for a day trip and arrived around 12:15pm. I’d heard how busy it gets and with school starting soon I was prepared for a big crowd. But I thought it was perfect, honestly! We had great parking spots all day - Blue Hole first, then the main Falls, and then back to Blue Hole around 5pm and never felt it was overcrowded. The water is so clean and gorgeous, and you’re surrounded by all kinds of green trees the entire time. Great views here. The kids loved the slide and diving board at Blue Hole, climbed up to the small cave at the main Falls, and of course explored all over the castle! We got snowcones from the snack stand by the falls and their reader wasn’t accepting my card so the sweet gentleman at the window let us have the shaved ice anyway. They had a great selection of yummies to try. We will definitely be back!

Remember your sunscreen and water shoes, and maybe wear shorts and/or darker colored swim bottoms. We slipped and fell a lot walking on the rocks in the water. Scratched up with dirty booties at the end of the day, but it was so worth it!

The views are amazing, along with if you are brave enough the rock climbing around the water falls, you’ll be able to see everything, we explored multiple areas, along with heading down the stream a little bit it’s perfectly quiet and relaxing setting. The castles were nice but warning theirs a lot of spiders on top of the castles roofs so please be careful! Besides that it was a nice and relaxing trip not to many people but we did go on a Monday.

Loved how they ate trying to expand parking and trying to make it a better experience for everyone. Would recommend going and experience the fun.

We had lots of fun here!! They have renovated it quite a bit since we last went so there are so many cabins to rent from, we just stayed for the day but hopefully next time we can rent one of those and stay a few nights!! 🌙 They have built more restrooms also and with showers that are free also. As for the staff and amenities I think this place only gets better and better each time we go! Definitely worth the publics economic support!!

One of our families fav spots in the summer to swim in the blue hole. Bring tubes to float the mini falls and stream. We love the speedy slide and bouncy diving board. We all wear water shoes to help avoid slips when walking in the water. Get there early to get a spot up by the lifeguards or a shady spot in the sand. We come almost every fall or spring to hike around the waterfall caves and up, around the mountain. Perfect day trip! Then grab local friend pies if some of the best bbq down the street. My kids love it here (ages 8-14). We stay for hours! At least 5. Bring lots if water and food.

Beautiful day and park. We arrived around 10:30 on a Monday morning and had no problem parking. By time time we left at 2:30, people were hunting for parking spots-arrive early! Wear water shoes. The surface is very rocky and very slippery. Very fun day for myself, my teens, tween and their friends!

the water was so clear and they improved the picnic area (way more tables then before) the employees were so friendly and helpful. i would go again!!!!❤️

Experience was great. Haven't been in almost 20 years in the facilities are way cleaner than I remember and it looks like the upkeep is way better. Loved going in the winter. Less people but all the same. Great attractions. You miss out on the swimming parts, but the beautiful fall colors definitely make up for it

Park was full of displaced foreigners. Only one other family from the U.S.
Did NOT feel safe there. No park officials seen. People had dogs, (not allowed) were having parties til 2a, swimming in unauthorized areas.

My family and I had a wonderful day despite the lack of sun.
Excellent day with my family in very calm waters and a welcoming atmosphere, cold waters, pleasant smell.

While the natural beauty is captivating, visitors should be aware of parking challenges and confusing exit directions. Families with children under 13 should bring floaters or life jackets for water activities. Overall, it’s worth a visit, especially on weekdays.

The waterfalls were beautiful, I do wish there was a place you could take pictures without having a ton of people in them. Also a notice of some sort about the steepness of the steps on the castle route would be helpful, my mother had to go down on her bottom out of fear of falling.

we love Turner Falls! such good okd-fashioned summer fun. Not pretentious or showy- just fun in the sun! Easy access from I35 and super good snow cones.

Fun day all in all. Line to get in the park was about an hour wait. Reserved parking lot 2 and we were in the last and farthest parking lot at 1130am.

Loved it!
Our family had super fun experiences
Best way to go vacation close to dallas tx thank you we will visit every year

Rude, unprofessional staff who don’t even want to answer a question. Bus shuttle driver misled us on where she will drop us and didn’t care that she made a mistake. I saw the staff being rude to other people who were waiting in line and being told - “Get out of my park”
Very crowded at the falls area and no traffic control, no proper signs that makes sense etc.
Small hikes around the park are good, but are not worth the 2 hour drive we did.

The park tour was owsome however it reminded me of the wrong turn movie/season but i liked it. Very nice views to take pictures. I will not hesitate to advise anyone to visit. I realized that there are nice places for camping and cabins

This place never disappoints. The hike from the top to the falls is unique, crawling under a rock, going through a cave, peeking through rock windows. The water is a beautiful clear blue, cool and refreshing. My only wish is that there was a dress code. The women in skimpy bikinis might as well not have been wearing buttons. Not family friendly and made it very awkward. We aren't prudes, but these were over the top.

I love this little place. Had stopped quite a few years ago just to stretch our legs and decided to take the family there on vacation. Loved exploring the spider infested castles, the trails and caves, and swimming. Gorgeous area! The only issue we had was we had to wait until 4 to check in, it was pretty crowded at the falls and that closed before 6 so we got there and it closed, and checkout is 11. So I suggest getting there way before check in and spend the day.

Beautiful falls to have fun with your friends and family over the weekend.
A sunny day would be perfect if you could make it early. It was our last minute plan but had good fun. Make sure you reserve a parking spot in level 2 to access showers to refresh.

Went on the Labor day long weekend. The staff were friendly and cooperative. Restroom and parking maintainance was pertty good.

Besides the heavy crowd, we were able to secure a spot for camping and get a decent view of the waterfall.

The only drawback was people bringing in loud speakers and it was loud and noisy. Got a very bad headache and had to leave early than the planned time we wanted to spend.

I hope the management will take control over it and keep the natural camping spots as natural rather than like a music festival.

This is good experience for my family, we were enjoying there , we were picnic in front of the river, although the flies loved our food so much 😂 but this is very nice breezes and the river views. I went there in October, but in summer time, we could swimming there too.

This was a great place lots of family fun! we will be back!! Beautiful views, great swimming and hiking. Picnic areas were well shaded and close to the water.

It is very beautiful, we had a great day! We thought the amount of hiking was over sold, we wished there had been more. But overall it was a great day.

My family of 5 adults, including myself, went to Turner Falls for the day. We all had a great time, but I do recommend going on a weekday when it’s cheaper and less busy.

Only negative was the pool(s) were closed even though website said they were open. The rest of the experience was great! We will go back.

We love visiting this park. This was the first time we actually stayed in a cabin. We plan on doing this another time. We had a great time and the service was amazing!

I’m went with my family and it was a great experience and great day to spend there all together. Moreover, the weather was beautiful and my favorite part is Zipline. Everyone should visit here with family or friends.

We ha s an amazing time hiking,swimming and exploring the park. and look forward to coming back to turner falls, and booking through your company again.

First time visiting the park, will not be the last. If not for the burn ban, our trip would have been perfect. The wagon experience is a unique one that my granddaughter will remember forever.

Brought our grandchildren for the day. We had a great time.

It would be nice for a little updating in the area around the falls, but it is a great place to spend a hot summer day.

This place is amazing. Not crowed at all. We had the whole RV park to ourselves the first night and 2 others joined us the next night. Flash flooding from storms did cause a few issues but not drastic. It was extremely hot. So next time I plan to visit in the Fall. Lots of places to hike, swim, or just relax. Oh. There is WiFi available but not great. But cellular service is great. Will be back.

I brought a group of 5th graders, we had a great time! They really enjoyed the castle and swimming in the creeks. We will definitely be back.

Worst place ever cops were harassing everyone towing cars threatening us. It was a nightmare. If you like to be treated that way on your vacation time off you’ll love it.

So in love with this place. All staff was amazing as well. Very peaceful and clean. Staff always aware for people to be at their most safe.

Haven't been in about 3 years and I must say I'm loving the improvements to the park. Eventho I enjoyed it before it was impressive to see all the new additions

It was so much fun and easy to navigate. I will definitely be coming back with a bigger group. I also enjoyed the hiking trails!

Absolutely amazing!!! The kiddos loved it.
Bath houses for the wagons was a great touch!! Wagons beds was extremely comfortable and surprisingly tge AC worked great even though we was on a covered wagon 👌

Keep up the great work turner falls!!!

Several spots to enjoy cool water under the hot sun. Multiple entries on the same day is amazing! Clean and well organized areas. You can also stay in the cabins if you book ahead.

Lovely scenery but really busy. Saturday was super busy, Sunday less so but very popular for day trips, picnics and bbq’s.

As advertised it’s a great natural formation seemingly out of place. The park is well maintained and clean with rustic amenities including convenient stores and restrooms, as well as portapotties located throughout the park.

It is a beautiful place for children to spend time with nature and share family without cell phones only family.

Came here with my family and kiddos. (Sisters and their Children. They have their parking weird. We were treated horribly by one of the staff members who said you could not unload your item there.. crazy! They had to go park far and bring their grill ice coolers, and bags on a trolley. She has 4 children so you can imagine the nightmare. Bathrooms are so gross and stinky. No soap to wash your hands. They need to improve in their customer service and train their staff to speak and treat more politely.

The views captured breath taking photos and my son had lots of fun ..will definitely be coming back..maybe hiking next time .

Amazing place. Never thought I would see the waterfall. If you have a family with kids. It is an amazing place. Make sure to have swimming shoes. Parking is kind of a little tight. Each parking has a level. Parking 1 is closer to the water, and 2 and 3 are very far but they have a shuttle. It is better to go early time. Make sure to have a hat and sunglass.

Had a great time with family! Beautiful place and we will be back. Went on a weekday and there was NO crowds at all. Recommend 10/10

I recommend on holidays to buy online because they are limited quotas. It was a lovely experience, I liked it. Especially the attention of working people.

The water was nice, and the castle was very interesting. Views were amazing, the scenery was definitely the highlight of the experience.

The water was amazing! So clean and refreshing! Wear swim shoes!! My kids loved the slide and diving board. Will definitely go again.

This is a great place to get away with family and do a little fishing this time of year for trout. Also if you need a cabin go to www.turnerfalls.net

Such a Beautiful place to explore and enjoy Nature and Family! I recommend going M-F it’s a bit cheaper and less of a crowd. Don’t forget to grab an Arbuckle fried pie!

The views were Amazing! We had a great day! Exploring the castles then dipping in the springs to cool off! The waterfall was beautiful!! Can’t wait to go back!

It was the first night the wagons were open. They were very cool for a little get away from the city for my son & I. We will definitely be back.

It was so beautiful. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Do the zip line!!! The water was very cold but still so worth getting into.

It is a very nice place for families, friends or couples. The waterfall is large and the water is cold. Many very happy people are having a good time.

Excellent space only improve the cleanliness of the area and the water of the rest all Excellent , the bathrooms should clean more often and not once a day

It was a beautiful waterfall and the hikes were moderately easy and the castle was cool..but it was really crowded so it didn’t give that out in nature feel…

Had a great trip. Pretty views. Plenty of areas to cool down in the water. Lots of picnic tables to have lunch . We spent all day there then went to have fried pies!

Stayed in Cabin 3, beds horrible. Creek in back is a a swamp. Scorpions in the cabin and the beds are horrible. Cabins next to us were burned. People next to us were loud, rude amd yelling all hours. The park is over crowded and infested with illegals and teenagers. Stay away from turner falls at all cost, over priced and not worth it. Might as well been on the border swimming with the illegals coming over.

Turner Falls was a day trip for me and my spouse. The park is nice but besides the waterfall, it's no different from any other lake and campground. The day was overcast so we did not get fully in the water (sat with out feet in the water for a while). The waterfall is pretty and we enjoyed watching it and relaxing for a little while. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

For hiking, the castles were fun to see. We did not get to the caves and did minimal hiking. The trailheads need signs from the road in order to find them. We found 2 small parking lots where trails may have been, but when we parked and tried to go in, it led straight to areas where people were camping. Walking along the river where one trail appeared to be would have meant walking through people's campsites.

This was our first trip there and while we were glad we went, our impression is it is overpriced and probably only a one time experience for us. We had a better time at the lakes nearby for a fraction of the cost.

Amazing Place for Family. Water was clean and good park to visit. Had great time with Family and friends. The checkin was smooth and the volunteers helped us to park our Carl on level 1. I would recommend this park if you are looking for the natural beauty near dallas.

We enjoyed stopping here and seeing this beautiful park. Very cool waterfall that falls into a nice pond where during the summer it gets packed with swimmers. There is also a zip line that is so cool going over the pond and falls. There is an admission charged.

Views were amazing! Get there before noon! We got there at 8:30am and had the whole park to ourselves. Water is always cold and refreshing. New picnic tables with canopy’s are nice. New cabins and teepees being built, excited to book one. Definitely kid friendly. For concession stand it’s only cash or cash.

They should hand out complimentary bumper stickers that say, “I was sodomized by the City of Davis” with every paid entry. HORRIBLE value. It’s sad this was a favorite place for many Oklahomans once upon a time.

Always a good time. My daughter and I go at least once a year if not more. We usually only do the day visit. We hope camp at point.

so gorgeous and calming to be around, people who worked there were very pleasant and nice and helpful, very much enjoyed !

Beautiful and so well maintained! Employees were friendly and helpful! Be ready to hike and walk stairs if you want to see everything. If you can’t do that, you can still have a wonderful time taking in the quiet and staying on concrete paths.

We reserved a RV campsite and paid in full. When I tried to go onto the portal they offered through their email it wouldn’t work. So I emailed them back at asked to reserve a spot and would like to check in before 5pm as we are early risers and early to bed folks. They said no that their policy states 5pm check in. So, ok, we linger and dawdle getting from San Antonio to the park and arrive at 4:20. We ask if we could check in early. She said we could have checked in anytime when they were open. And we showed her the email that said 5. She said no and that we needed to just go up and pick out a spot. When we got up to the RV camping only two spots were left and the electric tower was missing and just wires were sticking out of the base. The spot was 53 dollars a night, and no electricity?!? We left and demanded a refund. They gal just shrugged and said ok. We went 4 minutes up the road to The Falls RV park and stayed. Pleasant and quiet.

The City of Davis should be ashamed to let this park become a Fiesta. You are ruining a beautiful park due to allowing way too many visitors because of the city’s greed. I have never seen a bigger mess in my life. The water is dirty, the grounds are dirty and it is down right dangerous. Come on man!

We had a great time staying in the covered wagons. The bed was super comfy and having our own restroom and shower to use was nice. We will definitely be coming back.

Wife and myself went to see the park and decide if we wanted to come during the summer and stay for a family vacation. we looked at the cabins and were very disappointed in them. I mean having to bring your own bedding, kitchen utensils etc. and paying $250 a night? We enjoyed looking around but will not be coming back for a summer stay.

Me my sister and all our kids rented a bunkhouse for a weekend and it was AWESOME. the only slightly downside is that parts of the park were closed for flood repair. my other 2 sisters drove up there on saturday and we cooked on the grill, it wasn’t very crowded at all the water was cold but we still got in though. i definitely recommend it

Beautiful park, easy access to water, the falls are so pretty, very well organized, great swimming spots. Had a wonderful day here! Coming back soon!

My husband and I love to explore beautiful spots in every state and saw footage of Turner Falls on YouTube as well as influencer pics on Instagram making this place look like something straight out of Hawaii. It was going to be the main attraction of our trip to visit family in Oklahoma. We did all the "right" things- came early in the morning on a weekday, didn't have dogs, bought our expensive tickets online. When we got there, I used a porta potty that was so disgusting that I refused to handle anything until I had the opportunity to wash my hands. We spotted a bathhouse with the doors propped open and people walking out so went inside. My husband and father in law went to the men's restroom while I walked into the women's. As I walked in, I heard a dog barking.. which I thought was weird because no dogs allowed, right?? When suddenly a woman with short hair came abruptly walking toward me with her teeth showing, SNARLING and making sounds in the most animalistic way I've ever heard! I scurried past her as fast as I could and ran out the door- she was dressed in a uniform so obviously a staff member! I cannot make this up! When I exited, my husband and father in law were still in the bathroom when I heard shouting and my husband interjecting (politely) saying "you don't have to be rude". They quickly exited while a 2nd staff member AGGRESSIVELY followed them out saying "I'm not being rude! Did you hear me?!?" She then said "it's not my fault I left the bathroom closed signs in my truck!" She was continually trying to ignite a fight and wouldn't back off until I had to diffuse and say "I'm just looking for a place to wash my hands". That got her to back off the insulting and aggression toward my family finally. Needless to say, we only lasted enough to go look at the falls and briefly try to find the caves (it's easy- just follow the pile of continuous trash up the rocks and that will take you right to the caves). We couldn't get out of there fast enough. I'm only writing this to warn YOU not to go there. Even driving through the city of Davis has rapidly fluctuating speed limits to obviously catch tourists off card. The falls and area are beautiful, but it would take an act of God or mother nature (whichever you believe) to restore it from the hands of this corrupted city. But the way they exploit this beautiful place, I would say that's a real possibility...

Went here once a summer as a kid in the 70's and it is still very nice! We went on a Thursday morning - no line at entrance. My first impression was not good - the bathrooms near entrance were filthy, which I couldn't figure out - at 9 a.m. they're dirty? But once we got past that, we had a great time. We drove and parked near the castle and went up past the castle to the falls view point. We enjoyed hiking up behind the falls and exploring the creek area, having a picnic lunch. Before we left the park we drove up and checked out the campgrounds, saw the cool teepees. My advice is to wear good water shoes or sandals. The only time I slipped in the water was when I took my Tevas off for a few minutes. Also, go early morning - the park was getting pretty busy by early afternoon.

My husband and I took our three grandkids to visit. We rented a wagon which the kids absolutely loved. They offered clean bath houses, great spot for a fire and making s'mores. We had a great day of fun at the blue pool.

Really cool places for hiking and nice swimming areas. Very good views and it wasn’t packed. Good price for the experience we had!

Beautiful park. Our young boys loved the slide and diving board as well as slipping down the river. A great day for the family. I would recommend water shoes for tender feet like mine. The water was cool, but not unbearable at the end of May. The falls were beautiful and the water was really clear.

We loved the hikes and the falls. We went on a Thursday and the swim area at the large falls was not busy and we enjoyed that so much after our hike. We also enjoyed some of the water in some of the lower falls. The cost was well worth it. We were disappointed in the variety of souvenirs as we enjoyed our day so much and wanted something to take home. It would have also been useful to have a better map of the trails.

It was a one day trip but was all worth it. The park was beautiful and the waterfall was breathtaking, and relaxing. Our grandsons enjoyed everything specially the watering hole where they made some new friends. We all loved it and the grandsons want to come again and this time stay at the park.

The falls are beautiful as is the stream. The trails could use some markers and the price is high considering Chickasaw National rec center is free.

We visited on a Monday, and while the day started off well—with light crowds and beautiful scenery near the waterfall—the experience quickly took a turn for the worse at the Blue Hole area.

An ambulance had to be called for a child while we were there. The slide and diving board setup at the Blue Hole area is particularly dangerous. There was no staff directing the flow of kids at the large slide that launches people into the air above the water, nor at the diving board. My 7-year-old was nearly hit twice by people coming off of the diving board before he could get out of the way. The slide and diving board are set up in a way that places them behind the nearest lifeguards’ line of sight.

Lifeguards would occasionally react after a close call, blowing whistles or shouting warnings—but only once something nearly went wrong. Eventually, a child coming off of the slide landed directly on top of another kid in the water. The injured child was screaming about back pain and had to be immobilized on a spine board.

If you let your children use the deep end of Blue Hole, you must be physically behind them to prevent others from jumping in too soon—because staff are not doing it.

We started and spent most of our day at the waterfall pool area. There was a noticeable inconsistency in lifeguard attentiveness between shifts. One lifeguard spent most of their time on a phone, which should’ve been a red flag.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of proactive safety measures and oversight, we won’t be returning.

Great place to spend some time. Conestoga wagons were a comfortable, unique place to stay. My wife and I loved it. We’re planning a trip there with our kids and grandkids in the future.

The total experience was outstanding, didn’t take advantage of the carriage ride which would have topped it off, history and scenery worth a repeat trip soon with more grandchildren

We booked for the second level, but I noticed third level it’s better, if you want to walk, to go see the first level, it could be fun but please wear tennis. You have to get there early because parking space can fill out very quick. If you plan to stay in a cabin, you do need to plan way ahead of time, reserve on the beginning of the year, or be checking when one is available. Just so you know there is not a lot of signal so be prepared for that. But everything was great.

Took the small human for the first time, it was our fall break and we had the place practically to ourselves. I’ve never seen the fall pool empty. We had an amazing experience.

The views were amazing. We took so many pictures. Excellent place to spend time with your family. The water is very cold
but it’s still worth it
Don’t forget your kids under 12 lifejackets
They do need to wear them

Entry fee was a tad bit high. The weather was perfect and because it was a Monday, it was very peaceful. All in all, it was a great day. The zipline was awesome. The man running it was so friendly. We chatted for quite awhile and bought lots of souvenirs. (Great prices)

Very confusing on where to park & the different levels. Need more signage & the map was not very clear either. Wish there was control on how loud people can play their music.

Enjoyed the water, but wished for more signage on how to get to the big falls. Not just a map that we got when we entered. Enjoyed the smaller falls.

The views were amazing. The place is well staffed. Great natural experience. Support Staff was amazing. However the crowd wasn’t that great. Food was served and eaten in open near the falls. Beer, soda cans and water bottles were littered some places.

Such a fun time! We went mid-week so there was no one else there. It was quiet and peaceful and exactly what we needed.
We stayed in the covered wagons which were surprisingly nice ... clean and comfy.
We were a little put off by the smell of hot plastic when we first arrived - with the sun beating down on the cover - but as things cooled off the smell went away.
We cooked out, started a fire in the fire pit and had the place to ourselves.
We stayed in wagon #3 which overlooked the bus shuttle parking lot - not a big deal. But if you want to have a great view of the valley, rent #6.

Actual it has been some time, of going there, but, I just wanted to add a review, unless some things have changed, it was a nice outing, various areas to see, the pseudo water falls were nice, it definitely would also be considered kid friendly.

I've rated this middle because the location itself is beautiful and on Friday when. We visited we had no issues however, today met with heavy prejudice probably for being British and being one of the only families told to get out of the water because my 13 year old who can swim was not wearing a life jacket. There was children as young as 4 with no life jacket in the water. The supervisor came to talk to the life guard who told us to get out, then he did nothing, no explanation, no letting the child back I'm the water and they stopped answering the phones
Video proof will be uploaded on YouTube. This treatment is terrible. Especially paying over 80 on Friday and over 100 on Sunday

We were looking for an outdoor adventure to celebrate Mother’s Day. Found Turner Falls on a list of day trips from Dallas. Only 100 miles from Plano! Went with our adult son and grandkids 12 and 14.

Location was easy to find in the surprisingly rolling hills in Oklahoma. There was plenty of parking and we had a short hike back to the falls. They were magnificent! Plenty of water flowing down the falls and rivers. Our son and kiddos swam in the rivers and had a grand time in the moving water.

There is a “castle” ruin you can check out too. Some doctor built a castle as a retreat and it’s just the stone shell.

This is a pretty park located in the Arbuckle Mountains. You can go in the water on warm days, also a good place to take a hike or make a picnic. It is a pretty park taking advantage of the varied landscape in the mountains.

Beautiful scenery. We come here every year. It's a popular spot for families to relax. Davis PD is another issue. Understandably, they deal with a lot of tourists and develop a certain outlook and attitude, but here lately, they have been very aggressive and unpleasant. If you see a Davis PD vehicle driving by, it will always be accompanied by yelling in the bullhorn that is, more times than not, unwarranted. Makes you feel unwelcome.

We had a great time at Turner Falls! The park was clean, well-kept, and perfect for a family day out. There were plenty of picnic tables and shaded areas, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our meals together. We loved how family-oriented the atmosphere was — safe, welcoming, and fun for all ages. Having a lifeguard on duty was definitely reassuring, especially with kids around. It’s a beautiful spot to explore, cool off, and make some lasting memories. We’ll definitely be back!

I have been coming here since I was a kid and it is still as beautiful as ever.
The only change I see is spraying all the spiders that have taken over the inside of the castles. Always fun to tour those!

The wagons were very cute and comfy and the scenery was beautiful...the only issue we had was the noise level after 10 pm quite time from our neighbors.

It was a great experience ! Very clean, organized and very friendly environment. The water felt AMAZING ! Definitely coming back again soon!

Its really good place I love everything there and the cabins it’s very comfortable my family it’s happy with the place it’s very very recommended

It was clean in the river area but when we visited the castle. It was dirty, trash everywhere and vandalism. I hope they can do something about it.

A lovely day trip for the whole family! Highly encourage a raft to float from the falls to the pool! For the love of nature, please pick up your trash!

This place is very clean and well organized.
Even in the heat, it was worth it!
The falls are gorgeous and so are the campgrounds

Beautiful scenery ,Great place for the kiddos, it was our 20 th anniversary. We stayed in a private Owned Cabin Number 3 on Level One, near the Falls , Rustic And Very Clean,I’d Bring a Comfortable Mattress pad for the Double Bed Wished it had a Queen , But we Booked only the 3 days before arrival. I’m Just Used to A Soft Bed . YeeeYeee .🤣😂.Stsirs weren’t Bad at all I’m 56 my husband 73. Owner Ron Cobb was Very informative gave us directions and was able to Reach if we had any questions. He Was So Nice and Helpful. Will Be Booking again For Sure to Bring the Grand Kids Back For Sure . We Ate At Smoking Joes for Lunch even had Leftovers for Supper , We Zipped Lined Too , That was an Experience For Sure , YeeeeYeeee. 🤣😂❤️Love This Peaceful Place, Great Place to Make Memories with the Family. I would Definitely Recommend You Bring Your Family and spend the Day or Couple Nights 🥰🥰👍👍

My sisters and I stayed in one of the bunkhouse's. Very nice. It has a air conditioner and heat. You will be sleeping in a twin bed. There are 8 twin beds per bunkhouse. The beds are set up like bunkbeds, 4 on each side. There are no table or chairs inside the bunkhouses, but you have a metal picnic table outside. There is a porch on the front of each bunkhouse. The bathrooms are shared. You will have your own toilet/shower that is locked with a code to use and with communal sinks inside a seperate building not far away.

Took my family on a day trip and we did a bit of hiking and exploring the castle. The waterfall was beautiful, and the water felt great to cool off! I would love to go again!

So this was my second trip to the falls and I must say that I had way more fun my second time around because my first time we got rained out. This time the weather was perfect which made for a amazing experience. Great place to create memories!

We had an amazing time! The wagons were in a great location with a beautiful view. They were super clean and more spacious than I expected. The bathroom & showers are super close. One thing I wish I would’ve looked at before booking was the chart for which wagon I was renting. I would’ve picked one closer to the grills.

We've been wanting to visit for years! It was just as beautiful as I expected and we are very happy about our visit. We even climbed up to one of the caves next to the falls, very scary, but so satisfying and beautiful! Castle exploration was very fun too

Highly overrated. Very small waterfall. Extremely rude staff who can’t/won’t guide us, but are quick to point out we took the wrong turn and are verbally abusive. Please avoid and save your money

The area is very family-friendly and offers a relaxing environment. Parking is a little complicated, but the park provides rides to the bottom floor.

Excellent a very nice place to share with friends and family the only problem is that pets are not allowed

The views were amazing!! The park was clean and beautiful. Had so much fun exploring the castles and caves!! The waterfall was my favorite!!

okay this place is beautiful, water is so cold but really relaxing. but the store when you first enter the place (literally the first little store at the entrance) there was 3 girls behind that register and they all had a mean face and mean attitude. they didn’t say hi they didn’t say anything. and when we paid it felt like they were jumping the whole time. but other people were nice and other locations except that one place and i know i shouldn’t let that bother me but ugh i felt so awkward and judged that whole time when i was shopping.

What a gem! We had an amazing day, with the park almost all to ourselves. So glad we made the short trip from DFW. Highly recommended—great day trip.

Perfect day trip, and the kids had some core memories for sure. I definitely plan to attend again in the future, and within the year.

We had SUCH a great time staying the weekend in the wagons! My family of four (me, husband, 5 year and 3 year) stayed in one wagon and my parents next to us. Having a shower house per wagon was great! Bring your own towels (hand towels, regular, and/or swimming), but soap, tp, and bed linens were provided. We bought a tea kettle to make coffee, and a cooler for camp food. We roasted s'mores and hot dogs over the communal fire pit (bring your own firewood or buy at the trading post, just about $10 a bundle). It was perfect. We hiked, saw the caves, swam in the blue hole, and did the zip line. It was a perfect weekend, definitely want to make a tradition of it, bring more family next time, and try out the teepees!

Very pretty, very crowded, more like a nature amusement park than i expected. Took an additional hour from arrival to make it to the ticket booth to be admitted on property, adjust your arrival time around an exceedingly long line of cars that will meet you. I wasn’t sure how parking worked, but I bought a level one parking spot online the night before, this doesn’t promise you a spot in level one at all though, just get a level two pass if you planning on arriving in the afternoon and save the 5 bucks. Overall a good day trip, glass is literally everywhere though, water shoes are a must and be cautious while picking a place to sit.

Great day trip for some exploring nature and getting some much needed exercise. Was a beautiful day and the weather was great park was nice and clean

It was a wonderful experience for my family we climbed in certain areas and my children enjoyed the adventure most highly recommended is a place I would go again

Always great experience
Just a little trash around nothing crazy but is there... hope maintenance guys can reach left side of the river 👏🏾🙏🏾

We waited until school was back in session and visited on a weekday, we basically had the park to ourselves. The swimming hole water was warm my kids had so much fun in the diving board and slide. Lifeguard Robbie went above and beyond when he dove in and found my sunglasses that came off my face as I went off the diving board. Not to mention keeping all the kids safe and being very attentive. Great visit we will be back it was worth the 2 hr drive to visit.

Always a good time!!! Got there a little after 11 and park was pretty packed at level one area but still found parking and room to spread out by the water

Wow we had the best experience ever. The water was a little cold but we enjoy been there. We rode the horses and climb the castle and walk around. We had a great time! Hope to go there again soon.

I paid over $250 for one night in the wagons to camp with some friends. We got to the gate at 10 am, and were told we’d now have to pay for admission for that day as well. So, another $50 dollars, just to get into the park.
Immediately after exiting our cars in the parking lot, we were attacked by wasps/bees. They were everywhere. We trecked on, going past the castles, to the falls. We were expecting a much longer walk, but it’s literally a 4 minute walk from the parking lot. So then we went back and explored the castles (beware there are hundreds of thousands of spiders everywhere!). The castles were cool otherwise.
We went down the street to some cute picnic tables for lunch. Once again, attacked by bees/wasps. So ate inside our cars. I understand we’re in nature, but it was out of control.

We went down to the main pool after that, where the slide was closed. Big bummer for the kids. But they had fun on the diving board. But the rocks are so slippery so beware!
Then we found a leech on one of our kids. Traumatized for life.

Tried to get into our wagons 10 minutes early and they wouldn’t let us. Mind you, it was a Monday. We were the only ones in the ENTIRE park. But nope.

Got to our wagons and the ac didn’t work great. Was so hot and sticky. We ended up leaving at 9 pm.

Wouldn’t ever go back.

Turner falls is beautiful. Great for families. Such a unique experience. It is a very easy drive from where we live in the northern part of the DFW Metroplex.

Turner Falls is the best family getaway! I went all the time as a kid and have always wanted to take my kids and grandkids. It did not disappoint! We enjoyed every minute!

The place has changed a lot since I last went. Now you have to pay parking if you want to be near the area that touches you , the entrance rose in price, they do not let you unload things if you have to park far and the wait for buses is very long.

Staff was very friendly. Sites were beautiful to see. Will definitely be back. Had food truck and concessions. Great day trip place. You can also bring your cooler to have your own picnic or even grill.

Excellent park, waterfalls view was very good. The two swimming holes and accompanying water trails were fun to explore. Kids had a lot of fun in water and the short mountain hikes

I want to preface this review with the acknowledgement that I visited on a holiday weekend, so I understand longer wait times and bigger crowds. That being said, I regret visiting this place. It was a huge waste of time and money. It was dirty, grossly overcrowded, and completely chaotic. It took us an hour to wait in line and then park once we got in. We did not realize that the level 3 parking is on top of the mountain, a good 45-minute walk to the creek. There is a free shuttle. We waited another 30 minutes for the shuttle after parking. There is no queue system for boarding the shuttle, and people push and shove and crowd the entrances while people are trying to get off. The shuttle felt dangerously overcrowded with many people standing after the seats had been filled. There are virtually no places to change clothes or to even set up an area to sit. The place reeked of weed and the crowd there was in general, pretty trashy. We did not encounter a single pleasant employee (I know holiday weekends are stressful, but at least be pleasant). There is barely any signage and it’s easy to get lost trying to park. People mill about in the road because there’s only designated walking paths about half the time. We barely swam because by the time we got to the creek (after arriving to the park at 4pm), we only had about 45 minutes before we had to head back to catch one of the last shuttles. I think this place could be much better if the crowds were managed better. Overall, this place seems like it was a beautiful piece of nature that was completely spoiled for a profit. Didn’t even try to find the waterfall or the castle because it was impossible to get around the park to begin with. I regret going and I wouldn’t even consider coming back on a weekday or a less busy day.

Visited for my teen’s birthday. Took some friends. We were there for about 4hrs and had a blast. The weather was perfect too. We will definitely go back and stay longer.

Had a great time the park was very clean and the staff was very awesome I will be returning very soon. Loved the carriage ride also.

Rented a wagon for family of 4, kids 7&9.
Wonderful experience, very clean, authentic. We came at 7pm and got to enjoy swimming in a blue hole , woke up early in a.m. and went on a trail walk with sunrise, explored beautiful park, its castle and waterfall. Then we were able to enjoy the park before crowds came in. Will be back!

We didn't expect to find outdoor recreational swimming opportunities while passing through the area in early October. The park was a great find for relaxing on a hot day. The water temperature was nice & we didn't mind that the larger pools were closed. The castle was fun to explore & the top notch concessions offered at the snow cone stand was an added bonus. Stopping by the overlook near sunset was a nice way to end the day. We really enjoyed the visit & hope to return for an overnight stay!

I wish there were more signage to tell us where to go. My sister and I were definitely lost a couple times, and wasn’t sure where to park. It was nice weather. I was surprised it wasn’t busy between 1pm and 4pm.

Beginning of the day they were not full, got all the way there and they said they were full. Pulled off in their parking lot to figure out our next move because we are not from around here and one of the managers was being a total jerk off and yelling at us to move . The 2 people we spoke with were extremely rude, so beware!!

We had such a peaceful stay. The bed was so comfy and we loved the jacuzzi tub! Beautiful inn with such great attention to detail. We will definitely be back!

The views were breathtaking. We took lot of family pictures! My kids had an amazing time! Made sure to wear good walking shoes.

What a beautiful park! If you want a relaxing day come here. There are some of the cutest camp places to rent as well. From tee-pees to cabins to covered wagons!

The creek running through here is clear and sparkling!

It was fun exploring the old castle. I wish there were pictures of it when it was functioning. If the old walls could talk!

Come see!!! It’s so beautiful!

It was an amazing day! Weather outstanding! My wife and I were climbing the cliffs and walking the area above the falls 40 years ago on date got married. We did it again on 9/15/2024. However, we climbed/moved little slower and made sure of good footing as we are 62/63. It was not overcrowded, easy to get around, even climbing the stairs to the castle which some have corroded over time in few places. We hope to go back in 10 years and climb again, and then again in another 10 years (20) if health permits.

It is a wonderful place, there are no complaints about the place, only that the pool was closed that day but everything was beautiful..............

beautiful views, but i wish there was a safe space to jump into the water like cliff jumping.
also very peaceful in the morning before anyone gets there. it does start to get busy fast but there’s so many nice swimming areas so none are very crowded. it was really just the parking and waterfall area that was crowded.

Great place to visit! It has been a few years since our last visit to Turner Falls, but we were looking for a place to visit during the long Memorial Day weekend.

It was still fun. Glad to have taken my grandkids to experience what I got to do in my youth. The gift shop was barren. I missed the good magnets, and cedar boxes I had gotten before. I had promised them a toy, and they were sad. But the nature was good, and the castle better than I remember.

It was amazing I loved it, an amazing place to go with family and friends, the whole experience amazing water a little cold but tolerable

We wanted a time to get away from the stress and buisness of life. This was the perfect place to enjoy hiking while seeing caves and an old castel.
The wagons we stayed in were amazing and perfect for our family. We will definitely be back.

This was a much needed getaway - very peaceful and serene and everyone working was so polite and welcoming - I will definitely be coming back

it was great. Although I would have like more shade. maybe there should be areas with more shade spots. Maybe have a dog day also

We had a good time, there are many changes but there are really less people, now you can even enjoy iced popsicles that the truck reaches up to level 3. We only went for one day, there was a lot of water and it was clean.

Wasn't very crowded. Had an incredible time exploring trails, castles, waterfalls, and several different caves. I will definitely be bringing my family back to do this again.

We had a great time! The trip offered plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring, with several scenic trails to choose from. And when we needed to beat the heat, there were plenty of spots to cool off in the water, whether it was a refreshing swim or simply wading in the shallows. The combination of outdoor adventure and relaxing water breaks made for an unforgettable experience.

The views were amazing and we got good places to swim and enjoy the rest of the day with family and we gust meet friends that haven't seen for long time.

It is a very nice place to spend with the family we love to go is a very nice experience all the place we love 100% recommended

Awesome time awesome facility. Very clean and located perfectly away from the public area.

Add a TV 😘
Just my MAN OPINION

The place is beautiful! Water is clear and made the experience even better! One thing of caution- some parts of the walk - you have to be extra careful- and use good judgement not to get too close to the edge.

This was our first time going! 2 moms and 4 kids during our spring break and went in with very little knowledge of the area but had heard great things. It was beautiful day but very windy! It was not very crowded & everything was beautifully maintained and clean. We enjoyed hiking and finding different trails. The sights are breathtakingly beautiful! We loved the waterfalls, finding caves was our boys favorite and the castles were amazing to see and think about how things were done in the past. We can’t wait to go back & stay in a bunkhouse and swim. Great activity to be outside & reasonably priced! Thanks!

Dont regret the trip to turner falls had so much fun with my family enjoying the beautiful nature of turner falls (very clean water)

Good family atmosphere nice scenery and cold water poorly organized entrance and many people walking down the street and loa boys parking cars are a bit rude

It was the best place to take the family! The water was cold and refreshing while we where able to get a good spot where it wasn't so crowded. Had a amazing time!

Loved the falls. This is our 2nd time here. Water level was low compared to last time when I visited but still was fun to spend some time with family. Our 3 year old had so much fun in water. The entire park was clean. Highly recommended for all age groups.

It would be helpful to note on a website about possible lines of the cars, and where they start. If you coming from DFW, you will be very confused to find the end of the line at another highway. No directions no nothing. No one even bothers to explain you how the process to park access works. Instead the police officer at the entrance doesn't let you in and screams at you: MOVE YOUR CAR AWAY!!!!

Staff was very helpful. Duane White a staff member driving a bus helped load my stroller to the bus and also to my vehicle at the end of his shift. Very thankful for Duane taking the extra mile to help me out.

So many places to take photos! Breathtaking views, cool caves, nice little store, we will definitely be back! While hiking, I saw some cool camping spots. If they had any availability, we would have stayed the whole weekend.

Turner Falls is a sight to behold. Clean water gushing out of a rock several feets above the earth surface. The staff are friendly and professional.

It was cloudy but we still had an amazing time. Loved the natural well, cold but amazing. I highly recommend visiting the well, it's behind the restroom by the waterfall in a dead end.

The old lady that check us in was rude! Refused to give me the keys for 1 of the wagons because we didn’t have an extra vehicle and I was the one with the reservation and knowing I rented 4 out of the 6 wagons so my daughters had to wait for 2 hrs outside until our last family member arrived and she gave the other 2 keys to them ( 1 vehicle) which it make no sense. The Wagons should be fenced they are pricey for us to have people walking through our stuff taking pictures, playing and trying to use our stuff thinking it’s for them to use people trying to use the restrooms arguing that those restrooms are for the shelters I was exciting to take my kids and family there but after this experience not sure if I’m going back.

We loved our day trip swimming and picnicking at the blue hole. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to the waterfall because the bridge was too slimy for a motorcycle to cross. We didn’t want to take a chance.
The area was very clean and we had the place to ourselves, which was really nice.
The staff were very friendly!

Great rustic cabin. Beds were not super comfy but it checked all the boxes after a day at the falls. I only wish it had been swept, there was alot of dirt and cobwebs on the floor.

We enjoyed as family our visit to turner falls, perfect place for hiking a lot of places for swimming and enjoying the water.
two important notes:
1- we spent about 10 hours in the park and we didn't see a single sign to show a trail way. we got lost many times there are many places for bus travel to the falls but we wanted to walk to falls ( maps only show the trail but still not clear ) you need to work more on the trails signs.
2- bus end time is not mentioned in the map flayer so we realized when want to leave that there is no bus to take us to the parking so walked about 40 minutes to reach our car.

Trash all over the park and everything was closed. The gate attendant was rude and not welcoming. We drove from IA to visit this park. I definitely wouldn't recommend taking your family. We did nit encounter any park personel the whole time we were there for 4 hours.

The wagons are amazing! Between my husband and I and our son, we had all our stuff and still had plenty of room to move around. The HVAC system kept things chilly which was wonderful since it was a hot two days. Having the bathrooms be private per wagon was really nice!
My only issue is that when we needed something (extra toilet paper) there was no one to answer the phone... ever. There should be a manned phone during daylight hours.

"I visited on a sunny Monday, on July 15 and had an amazing time! The park was well-maintained and clean, with plenty of thrilling water slides and a relaxing wave and the food options were surprisingly good. My only complaint was the long lines for some of the popular slides. Overall, I thought it was great and would definitely recommend it to families and thrill-seekers alike!"

There have been a lot of improvements to the park. If people would use the many trach cans for thier trash it would be even better. It is sad that people will leave their trash on the ground in such a beautiful place.

Yes the views were awesome! Yes we swam and we walked the river! So we did a trip to the local waterpark in okc. And we did this trip to the falls! Turner falls by far was the better park in every way. And cheaper! I will be coming here more often. Thanks.

It was so amazing, would definitely go back went here for my birthday I do not regret making that decision, although it would be nice if they had a ramp set up for wheelchair accessible users to go into the pool that would definitely help out a lot of people and attract more people that are unable to use the pool with their feet and we need to enter either with the chair or lift so either a ramp or a lift would be so amazing

This was a fun day trip experience. It’s only an hour and forty minutes from the North Texas area. Very peaceful and clean.

Lot of walking, pretty scenery, kids had fun. Lots of good bbq being cooked all around us, not easy to lug coolers and chairs to where we wanted to set up

Went to Turner Falls for the first time on 8/6/25 and was honestly very disappointed. There was so much trash everywhere along the river, around the falls, and throughout the campground areas. This wasn’t just a bit of litter here and there, it was trash that had clearly been there for a while embedded in the dirt, stepped on repeatedly. It was really depressing.

The falls themselves are stunning, and the river has a magical feel, but the area has been completely disrespected. As someone who backpacks and follows Leave No Trace principles, it was genuinely heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place treated this way. :(

Also, for the price of admission, you’d expect the grounds to be better maintained. It’s a real shame. I wish more people and those managing the park would treat this place with the care it deserves.

Overall experience is good, it’s not a first time I go there. But this time I noticed that park tables was gone.
And I have a serious safety concern. No pedestrian walks. Before I was completely fine with walking on a shoulder, but this time when I was in area between parking lots #2 and there is a spot where bushes grow too close to the road and even shoulder almost not usable, I had to walk on a road facing oncoming traffic, and truck with 4 Hispanic males in a cargo area, was on purpose turning close to the shoulder to push us to jump in to the bushes. It was no cars in opposite direction, he could use all road for himself, but he only turned out 1feet away from me and my family, including 5yo kid. It was fun for him.
Police officer was driving 100 yards behind and didn’t even pay attention to this.

Very clean water was nice lots of things to do . My family had a lot of fun and I love that all the lifeguards did a very good job watching over everyone in the water.

The park is beyond lovely with so many fun things to do as a family. We had a great time swimming, hiking, exploring, and camping. There were some concerns. The reservation system was changed from when we booked (and selected our rv spot) to when we arrived (no reserved spots). We were not informed of the change at any point. Fortunately it worked out for us but there were several conflicts between campers who arrived to their "reserved" spot only to find it was taken. Since the front gate employees did not address the situation, it caused conflict between the campers. Also, the shower situation is abysmal. The shower stalls are open air (fine enough for October but freezing in the winter), lock from the outside offering no protection, have short doors allowing for people to look over or under at people who are showering. The shower heads have a cycle of 10 seconds cold, push the button again, 10 seconds warm, button, 10 seconds warmer, button, 10 seconds scalding, repeat. In between 10 second intervals you have full air exposure and minimal privacy. Additionally, hundreds of day use visitors occupy the showers meaning that campers do not have full access to the amenities that should have been included in the camping fee. Speaking of fee... we paid over $70 in extra fees in addition to our camp site reservation (that wasn't actually reserved) and per person daily entry fee. That's exorbitant! Finally, lack of maintenance is obvious. The electricity hookup could not handle our small camper and an extension cord at the same time. I'm thankful we never had a neighbor to share the hookup or we would not have had enough power. The pole was damaged from someone backing into it and had never been fixed. Policies are extremely loose for some things - no pets but there were a ton of dogs brought in, no tents in rv camping area but there were tents, no alcohol at the slide-in swimming hole but visitors walking past the lifeguards with arms full of beer cans. Lifeguards were vaping and playing on their phones for extended periods of time while on the job. Trash service employee walked through our campsite to get trash while actively vaping. I really want to make it 2 stars from all the issues but I am keeping it at 4 stars because of how much fun we had in spite of the lack of maintenance and amenities.

My family and I visited mid-week. The park wasn’t busy until about 2:30pm. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Blue Hole and the Waterfall. And the slide and rope swing were big hits with grands. So thankful for the carriage ride to get back to our picnic spot from the Waterfall. The ride was worth every penny. Driver was friendly and let kids pet horses and told them the horses names. An all-around great choice for a last summer day trip before school starts next week. Plan to make it an annual tradition. Wear your water shoes and walk carefully on the rocks!

The views were beautiful 😍 and the kids very much enjoyed the hiking and slide. Great place and easy to book and get to. Will definitely be coming back once it's cooler
