We wanted a quiet place, where we could rest and take a load off. Man! Did we ever find a hidden gem! The owners were super nice, as well as the seasonal folks who took us for a quick cart ride to see the Fallen Rock. This year, we wanted to get away for 10 days over the 4th of July weekend. We didn't think long before we remembered how much we loved this campground! They were so accommodating! We had the same spot of our one=night visit last year. We met many more of the seasonal folks, and their dogs (we brought ours with us this time!) We have already make a reservation to go in the fall next year for the covered bridge festival. In closing, this is the nicest, cleanest park we have stayed at to date. The owners have obviously put their hearts into this place. They feel like family. Oh, and they put on a fireworks shows that rivals the ones in DC!

They provide great recommendations if you're unfamiliar with the area & have a nice little camp store. They will deliver firewood to you & allow you to borrow basketballs, volleyballs, & corn hole for no charge! Also, they aren't very strict on the parking, as we had 4 cars and it was no problem at all to park the extra in their overflow parking lot. The cabin was super clean, the AC worked great, and the beds were way more comfy than we expected for a campsite. There's a nice picnic table & a fire pit and areas that are shaded. The bathhouse is a bathhouse, so you can't expect much -- but it was one of the cleanest I've been in. It has a heavy door to the front so there aren't many bugs that can get in!

First time being at turkey run state park Beautiful…read morescenery, horse back riding, camping , they even have an inn there with a pool, everything was amazing, went there for a kayak trip down the river and didn't plan anything very well on my side. Just figured that I would just find myself a shuttle service, although I have been kayaking already for about a month or so, I didn't know that they have a season for it and I was about a week to early. No problem I just wasn't able to go kayaking today but I will be back definitely, I'll just have to do better next time. I'm used to self shuttling. Got some cool souvenirs from the gift shop.

This was my second experience ever at a campground--the first being a KOA somewhere in Minnesota…read more We had the luxury of glamp-ing with our friends over the weekend, so we didn't go without electricity or water. Hallelujah! TR Campground was completely full the weekend we visited. At times I felt that maybe we were a little too close to our neighbors, especially the neighbors with 8+ guests. Our site did have some unsavory things leftover from the previous guests(s) (dirty bandaids, dog poop, shoes, a canoe paddle), so the campground really does leave it up to the guests to cleanup after themselves. We were near located near the bathhouse, which was only good for toilets. The Men's and Women's showers were out of order, so I'm not sure what the tent campers did all weekend--I find this to be the most unsavory part of camping. The campground is within walking distance of Turkey Run State Park's Trail 7, which we appreciated. This was an incredibly hoppin' place, so I'd have to recommend it. I'd even recommend visiting during the week so you don't have to deal with as much traffic. The power along State Rd. 42 did go out for a period of time on Saturday afternoon, so that impacted electricity at the campground. Luckily this didn't happen on a super hot day. They have a suggestion box located near the exit of the campground which I should have used. This seems like common sense because they're so pet-friendly, but 20 or so signs saying, "please clean up after your pet" would be nice. Yes, this is outdoor living, but other people don't need to be stepping in your dog's $#!&. I recommend Turkey Run Campground, but you won't catch me camping again anytime soon. :)

October is the best time to camp or hike here, the leaves are beautiful and the trails are mostly dry. There are easy trails, moderate trails, and rugged trails. The suspension bridge is fun to cross, although there are 70 steps to climb, and they are fairly steep. It would be nice if a ramp was added for those who can't do steps. Park maps are provided when you enter the park, and most of the trails are fairly well marked. There is one trail that is marked but does not appear on the map, trail 12. Admission fee is only $7 per vehicle.

It's no real secret that I tend to be a little harsh in my reviews when accessibility is an issue,…read morehowever, nature is nature and I've never thought it made sense to be completely harsh because the natural world isn't as accessible as I'd like. So yeah, while Turkey Run is one of Indiana's prize state works it's also one of the least accessible ones. Established in 1916, Turkey Run is consistently named Indiana's favorite state park. It gets over 1 million visitors annually and it's Inn is known for being booked up to a year in advance. The Inn has 61 rooms ranging in price from $115-180, though if you use Booking.com you can often get more affordable rates. There are also 23 rental cabins (around $155 a night) and 213 campsites. Turkey Run is a gem for hikers, though it's worth noting that an awful lot of the hiking is not wheelchair friendly. Turkey Run has over 14 miles of hiking trails (11 trails, only one described as "easy"), picnic areas, a swimming pool, a nature center that I truly love, several historic sites (including some that have been made accessible, fishing, a sand volleyball court, tennis courts, a basketball court, canoeing/kayaking, and quite a few special events. For most of the sports fields, you have to bring your own equipment. There's an amazing suspension bridge. Again, not accessible as you have to do about 70 steps to get to it. For those who can, getting to it offers the Rocky Hollow-Falls Canyon Nature Preserve. I actually did do this bridge when I was younger, though as an older wheelchair user now I wouldn't even think about it. The bridge is over Sugar Creek, though there's no swimming in the creek. Turkey Run is spread out over 2,382 acres. It was Indiana's second state park. As a slightly morbid fun fact, Col. Richard Lieber has a memorial right around the end of Trail 11. Lieber is considered the father of Indiana's state parks and was instrumental in getting Indiana to become one of the first states with a significant park system. While I can't say that Turkey Run is truly my favorite park, it's one I visit from time to time partly because it's beautiful and partly because of nostalgia as it's a place my father loved to visit. He was born in deep, rural Kentucky and I think this park kind of reminded him of home. For those who love hiking, this is a must visit park. For those who appreciate a tapestry of history, that's also a reason to visit here. While wheelchair users and/or anyone with mobility concerns will struggle here, there's still enough to make this worth a day trip and/or a visit to the Turkey Run Inn for a weekend getaway.

They do not answer their phones and their policy says you must talk to the office for a cancellation. I called several days with no ability to speak with anyone. We did however book our tubing trip for the correct day. When we arrived we tried kindly explaining to the woman our situation. She was immediately combative and argumentative. She immediately went in defense mode. It was incredibly unprofessional and abrasive. We understand we made a mistake however we didn't deserve to be treated that way. Naturally we firmly and persistently argued back as we were approached in such a manner. Ultimately she did end up refunding us (allegedly - we did not receive it yet. But did get confirmation email we were refunded) but it was after a long awkward argument for really no reason. If the woman at the front office was polite from the get go we would have had a much better experience. The gentlemen who ran the tubing, said his name was Kim. He was very kind and professional. I would give this place another go because of his efforts in trying to make the situation more comfortable.

We tent camped so we were able to avoid the insanity of the RV spots. Even on a Saturday night, there were tons of tent camping spots. Negative aspects include: Garbage on the ground at our campsite (I guess the mower can't pick up everything); The portapotties in our section were gross and clearly had not been emptied in the entire week after Memorial Day. Money-grab, across the board "reservation" fee that is applied to ALL campers who enter the park, not just those who make a reservation over the phone or online. We drove up and paid for a spot at the last minute and were still charged a "reservation" fee. Just add it onto the park entrance fee why don't ya, if you're going to charge everyone?!? What was an appealing $17 camping fee became a $31 camping fee once the "reservation" and park entrance fees were added up.

The park itself is beautiful, check their website for amenities. I was only there for 15 minutes…read moreso I can't give a full review of the park and facilities. What I can tell you is that we went there to visit the swim beach while on vacation nearby. It seems that public pools close for the season after the first week of August in this part of Indiana due to school starting and no lifeguards. My 5 year old wanted to swim so we tried going to the beach at Rockville lake. Paid 7 dollars to get in the park. Went to the beach area which is in a cove off of the main lake. The cove had a lot of algae and the swimming area had a sheen of scum on it. There was a lot of goose feces on the beach and in the shallows of the water. Needless to say, we did not swim. When we asked for a refund due to the conditions at the beach, the managers reply was "you do know this is a lake". I was not given a refund. I really don't care about 7 bucks, but come on, we were there for 15 minutes and didn't use any of the facilities. I have been to many lakes where there is not algae in the swimming area and the beaches are raked regularly so that you can actually use the beach without fear of sitting or stepping in bird feces. I put 1 star because it made me put at least 1 star but really, 0 stars for the beach, negative 5 stars for how the staff treats you. Don't know about the rest of the park.
