I love Turtle Run. I've been going here for a solid twelve years now and I'm always satisfied. A few years ago I tried a different campground just for a chance of pace and I turned around and left immediately and went back to Turtle Run. The owners Rich and Joe are great guys too, and very accommodating. Also, the tent camping areas are nice and secluded and separate from each other, so you don't feel as if you're right on top of the neighboring campsites. That's important to me. It's a great place for both adults and for kids.
I needed a last min reservation for the night and the owners were very accommodating. Not only did they greet me at the gate but they call me by name and made me feel very welcomed. What a pleasant surprise breakfast was…. the crew is all funny and bust chops which is refreshing…. but the food was amazing! I’ll look for a reason to come back here soon!
The staff is so friendly & accommodating. Family friendly with great pool & playground. Bathrooms clean. They have great pizza and fun activities. We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and they had 50/50 drawings & turtle races (using dice) and a horseshoe tournament. We had our motorcycle with us & rode each day in surrounding areas. Everyone is very friendly
We stayed in one of the cabins for a quick night away with the kids. The employees were super friendly. Get the impression that the seasonal campers have a lot of activities together, but everyone is invited. The facilities were nice. Bathrooms were clean and well lit. Grounds were nice. Arcade was great as well. We drove around the campground to catch a glimpse of the tent sites, and they were nice. Spacious, and didn't seem to be too crowded together. We will definitely be back.
We stayed here for the first time and it was awesome. The gentleman that run it are amazing and super friendly! Will be back! Thank you Rich and Joe!
