Here is the map of the Turkey Run Campgrounds.
For those who have never been there , there is a main entrance and about 1/2 mile on down there is a seperate entrance for the campground. From S.R.47 you will see a large parking lot ,the camp store ,( which is closed for the season ) and the gate house (which will be unmanned) . Vickie and I visited the park Saturday. We looked closely at the sites and the #50 - #70 sites were literally underwater. Unfortunatly these are the ones near the pit toilet. These areas are out in the direct wind and that might be a real problem without a winddreak. I liked the little cul de sac sites 30 - 36 ( there are actually about 12 sites in this area these are the mystery overflow sites the park keeps secret ) Yes I counted meter heads . These sites were still within walking distance of the P.T. and were high and dry and well protected from the wind on all sides but the south.
Similarly the larger cul de sac was the same. #157 thru #174
There are 12 - 15 sites at the very front ( # 189 to 200) that have a very convenient pit toilet but you may feel as if you are in the highway when large trucks go by as you are just a rock toss from S.R. 47
We spoke with the ranger who is the head of security and plowing if needed will not be a problem. He suggested the first one in just ask for assistance if needed at the MAIN gate. He also volunteered that the camping fee is $11.22 per night. From past experience at other parks it will be a good idea for you to have exact cash if possible.
I have some pictures to post and will try and get them on later today!
