Stopped here on a whim. It was a cold day and there were not many people around. I got to enjoy the falls all to myself!!! This is the place for hiking and experiencing beauty. There are about six different paths you can walk. Some are fairly hard and actual hikes, others are paved and easy/moderate. There is something here for everyone. If you camp or RV, this is a nice place, although you will get road noise from the highway. The comfort stations are always clean and stocked. The staff is always pleasant and will help you with anything. The entrance fee is now $5 per car. Which is worth the price for what you can experience and see. The beauty here is hard to compare to anywhere else! This is a must stop!

We camped out for one (COLD) night in February as a couple. Campgrounds include a fire pit with a grate to grill on and a stone picnic table. The tent sites are a little more out in the open than the wooded RV sites.There are a few fun trails, but all are pretty short. They range in their difficulty (ADA-compliant to steep and stony), but all have nice views. The Falls make a pretty centerpiece for the park.Playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, and other amenities would make NFSP a good option for, say, a family reunion.Will likely camp again! Enjoyed our stay.

We loved this state park. Part of it was wheelchair accessible, which was helpful. You can view the falls from a platform above the falls (wheelchair accessible). However, you must descent quite a number of stairs to view the falls from below. Some of the trails are paved and wheelchair accessible, but the majority are not. Wheelchair-dependent guests must limit themselves primarily to the sidewalks around the campgrounds and those VERY near the falls. Beyond that, the trails become steep and uneven. There is a fun disc-golf course and lots of picnic tables and playground equipment for kids. Restrooms are available for public use as needed. Small park fee per vehicle.

Very enjoyable park. Its only $5 a car, you walk down to the falls, its a little steep. Its an older park, needs to be updated. But we had a nice time there! Beautiful scenery!

Great hiking trails, wildlife, forest, and waterfall. also is disc golf there and camping. Only $4 per car so best to take the whole family since they don't charge per person fees..

I was charged $4 to enter to the park, which was fine (it's a per car charge). There wasn't much for me to do, except walk to the Falls. The walk was relatively easy. The falls are ok. Having been to much larger falls (Great Falls Park in the DC area, Niagara Falls, Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Michigan), I was perhaps a bit disappointed. The falls, however, are aptly named Dripping Falls and overall, it was a pleasant experience.

I can see why they filmed " Where the Red Fern Grows" there. It is so peaceful. I could have sat in the ravine at the bottom of the falls for many hours and I can only imagine how cool the area must be even during the most heat blasting days of an Oklahoma summer. It is a delightful little park with nice walking trails and a lake. The Springs were the highlight of the park there is a viewing platform that is wheelchair accessible. The stairs leading to the bottom of the falls is steep, but not of a long duration.

We normally stay on the Illinois river, but it is sometimes crazy noisy at certain times of the year as was the case this time. We had some extra time so we decided drive over to Siloam and noticed the sign for this state park. We were met by the groundskeeper Mike, who collected our entrance fee of 4.00 and gave us some great advice about the place. The place was well maintained and very quiet! I was really surprised to find it so nice and clean. Great campsites and rv spots, lots of room, clean restrooms and showers and 5 miles of walking trails! Also close enough to drive 15 minutes in Siloam springs or 20 minutes to float on the beautiful Illinois river. (I use Peyton's place to float and get a kayak!)Mike showed us the walking trail down to the falls and they were beautiful! Well worth the 5 minute walk. I do think it is better to walk this early in the morning...:)We will absolutely return to this scenic area! Be careful with pets, they have Black panthers, mountain lions and bears in this part of the Ozarks!.BTW..the Ozarks in the fall are in my top 3 most beautiful things to see.

Just limit your time with staff and you should have a good time. They seem bent on kicking people when there down. They made it clear they are not concerned about camper well being. Good Luck!

My husband surprised me with a day trip to Natural Falls State Park. It is definitely for someone that can get around well, because you must hike to the falls. They are beautiful and it is very well maintained and peaceful. Bring a picnic lunch - there is lots of shade and places to spread out a blanket. The campsite area is very clean with space for RVs and tents. There is a small playground and nice restroom facilities with showers. My husband is dying to go back and camp.

The short walk to the falls make for a nice short outing on a hot summer day. Much easier than the hike to see the falls at Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. The stairs down to the bottom of the falls makes it easy. Once you are at the bottom you remain on an observation deck with a few benches for resting. There is no wandering around or wading in the water as it is a protected environment. The park has other trails that looked interesting but we did not take the time to hike on them in the July summer heat. We also noticed a well kept campground for RV's close to the entrance to the falls trail. The foliage on the trees was so thick you couldn't see the views of the valley below but would probably be great for a fall or spring outing.

First visit to the falls, expected better but was good. Very small. Stairs to the bottom landing were steep and most of them didn't have a hand railing, so be careful!

I'm sitting here at our nice spacious campsite. Had great potential. We noticed a dirt racing track just short of the turn off before the park. The Ranger said at check in "They might be practicing tonight but I'm not sure". Ok. It is ROARING. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Nascar fan. But if I hear it I at least want to SEE IT. There is nothing natural about this experience. If we go inside the RV and close all the windows including the fans, it's not so bad. I can't believe there haven't been more reviews about this. I would rather be camping in my driveway right now.

I thought the falls would be higher and I've seen better but it's a nice place to stop. The walk to the falls isn't very far and it has a nice view from both the top and bottom of the falls. Didn't camp or stay too long but it was a nice opportunity to take some nice photos. What made it even better is my husband and I were the only two people in the park. This is worth a stop.

I decided late on a Friday that my kids - ages 15, 12 & 9 - and I were going camping. We had visited this park twice for day trips, and each time I thought it would be a great place to camp. A sweet friend gave us a huge tent as a gift three years ago, but we hadn't used it, because I was still a bit nervous about my camping abilities. I called late on a Friday, and they still had campsites available, so we started driving. The staff were very helpful and answered all my ridiculously newbie questions. They tried to help save me the $5 reservation fee, but it was well worth $5 to make sure we had a campsite once we got there. Even with the reservation fee, it was a whopping $17 for one night, which is the cheapest fun we've had in years. I also paid for two bundles of wood over the phone, because we weren't going to get there before the office closed at 7:30. The wood is $4 for a very nice sized bundle (8 - 10 logs?). They also sell ice at the office, which was helpful. Also, I was able to use my AT&T wireless for phone calls and internet on my iPhone (for posting gorgeous photos of the sunrise to facebook, and that was it!)The campsites are fairly close together, but not so close that you don't have your own space. Each site has its own charcoal cooker, fire ring, and picnic table. We set up a 9 man tent and had plenty of room around us. There are also modern bathrooms with showers close by. Thankfully there were terribly helpful experienced campers around us who nicely offered to help me assemble our tent after dark (our trip was ridiculously spontaneous, and I was not properly prepared). The next morning my kids, our dogs, and I set off for the hiking trails. The waterfall is just gorgeous, but the steps down to the falls are quite steep. From the falls, we took the trail to the lake, then what we later learned was the most difficult trail, over some water and up and down the hills. The trails are full of flowering trees like dogwood and redbuds and lots of wildflowers. We then walked up a ridiculously steep path that led almost directly to the very high bridge (it used to swing, but doesn't now thankfully) over the falls. That jaunt took us about two hours in total, and was some of the best hiking we've had in the region. It would have taken longer if I'd been able to slow down my kids too look at all the trees, flowers and wildlife that was likely running from us and our seriously untrained dogs. There are also RV sites at the park, and a little room at the entrance that you can rent for events. When we were there, there was a huge RV group there who had rented the room, and they appeared to be playing Parchesi (sp?) on lots of little tables. There's also fishing and a disc golf course. I know nothing about RVs, fishing or disc golf, so that's about all the information I have on any of those topics. My kids and I decided to see what we could find in the surrounding area, since we'd covered all the trails. The lady at the front office was ridiculously friendly, and helped us figure out what outings were best for us. There's a safari within 45 minutes, but I was afraid our dogs would freak out. There are also two caves within about 45 minutes, and we decided to go to Bluff Dwellers Cavern, which was well worth the drive. I really appreciated her patience and guidance in helping us find something fun to do. Bit o' trivia - part of Where the Red Fern Grows was filmed at this park in 1974. Overall, this was a great trip. It was just the little getaway that we needed. We'll be back!
