Turkey Bend is one a favorite location of mine for camping and fishing. It's nothing fancy. Just what camping should be. There are restrooms at the front of the park and Portable Toilets throughout. Camp grounds have a pole for hanging trash or food from; as well as a picnic table, campfire ring, and barbeque grill. I paid $5 to get inside the park. Fees may vary depending on how many people you bring and how long you stay. I do remember the sign saying "Horse and Rider $12" lol so that's nice to know.
Me and some friends just spent two nights at this great little park. Had easy access to water. Great little camp grounds. Private. Restrooms were close. We were left alone for the whole trip. We really got just be free in the park. We were also able to get to a town nearby for food and necessities. I would definitely go back for another stay.
Very quiet at night with no traffic noise. We got to listen to the sounds of nature and even an owl in the tree above us. The water is great for swimming. Each spot comes with a picnic table, grill, and fire pit. However, I would warn campers not to reserve a spot near #21 as we were not in a very scenic area and very close to the portable toilet. Maybe go and scout it out one day before planning your camping trip.
I would love to keep this place a secret to try to guarantee an open spot when I visit next, but this place simply deserves the 5 stars. I found it to be immaculately clean and very well cared for. The campsites are a little close, which I was expecting. It’s run by a couple who is extremely experienced and happy to make your experience the best it possibly can. I suspect this will be my go-to getaway spot!
Rustic camping (no electricity or water at the sites), we knew this before arriving. We arrived late at night and got set up. The next morning we met the camp host and she was amazing, very informative and helpful.
