Description

Located near the Oklahoma/Arkansas border in the scenic Ozark Highlands region of northeast Oklahoma, Natural Falls State Park features a 77-foot waterfall cascading through rock formations and creating a hidden, serene atmosphere at the bottom of a narrow V-shaped valley. A railed observation platform allows hikers to overlook the falls and another observation deck with seating is located at the foot of the falls offering two vantage points to enjoy one of the most scenic wonders in the state.  The beautiful scenery looks familiar to many visitors because scenes from the 1974 movie, "Where the Red Fern Grows" were filmed in the park. 

Picnic tables and grills can be found throughout Natural Falls State Park. Campsites including 44 RV sites and 27 tent sites are available along with a comfort station with showers. The Red Fern Reunion Center is available for group functions. Other amenities include a three-and-a-half mile hiking and nature trail, picnic shelter, volleyball, horseshoes, basketball court, catch and release fishing, playgrounds and a formal garden area.  Pets are allowed on a leash only.

Natural Falls State Park affords an opportunity to observe a variety of plant and animal life. The dense forest includes maples, chinquapin and white oaks, while plants such as flowering dogwood, sassafras, coral berry, spicebush, redbed, and pawpaw blanket the cool forest floor. The waterfall creates a moist environment where ferns, mosses, and liverworts thrive.

Hello David! Camping rates start at $12 for primitive camp sites. Please call the park directly for reservation information. Keep an eye out for our State Park FAQs article coming soon. Thank you for using TravelOK.com to plan a fall getaway.


From David Moore on 08/25/2010

What are the rates? Can you make reservations ahead of time? Seems to be some information missing from the old state park web site.


From Cindi on 08/20/2010

This is an awesome place to go for a Friday or Saturday getaway. The hike to the falls is fun, safe & just gorgeous! Benches at the bottom of the falls makes for great pictures as well as resting! Play ground for kids right near the tent sites was very handy too! A definite place to visit!!

Sweetheart ck this place out. Next trip out ?????


From Michael & Suzanne on 06/30/2010

Great for quiet get-away,absent the races on Sat. We go as often as we can. Perfect for relaxed camping when peace, quiet and beautiful surroundings are what you're looking for.


From Melissa on 06/19/2010

Wonderful campground. Clean bathrooms, well lit campground with nice campsites. Only 1 small trail. Downside are the races on Saturday night about a mile away, very loud.


From mike on 03/28/2010

very nice beautiful area. AMAZING camping, and fun stuff for the kids to do as well. hiking is good for a small trail, and the falls are just awesome to behold.


From Ashley on 03/10/2010

small park but the pictures they have on here don't do it justice. the waterfall is great but there is so much more depth to this park with such a short hike. i have driven 3 hours on 3 seperate occasions to photograph this park. A great getaway
