Open year-round. The modern comfort station on the west side of the campground remains open through winter with water available. Trail 9 is currently closed due to flooding damage.
Hydrologic Outlook issued August 10 at 2:09PM EDT by NWS Indianapolis IN
ESFIND Heavy Rain will be possible this through much of this week due to rounds of possible thunderstorms. The combination of a very warm and humid air mass along with a series of upper level weather disturbances passing within the flow aloft are expected to produce periodic showers and thunderstorms over the next few days. Confidence for precise timing and location of storms remains low, but storms are likely to occur, and when they do occur, heavy rain will be possible. Rainfall amounts in excess of 2 inches will be possible with storms which could result in flooding. Stay tuned for the latest forecast information. This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts are possible, but not yet certain. Continue to closely monitor forecasts including the possibility of flood watches, warnings, and advisories.
About
Turkey Run State Park campground is located in the heart of one of Indiana's most scenic natural areas, where Sugar Creek has carved dramatic sandstone gorges and canyons over thousands of years. The campground offers 217 sites spread across several loops, with 209 electric sites featuring 20, 30, or 50 amp service, plus 5 shelter sites and 3 youth tent areas. Site pad lengths range from 30 to 50 feet, with both back-in and pull-through configurations available. Campers have access to modern comfort stations with flush toilets and heated restrooms year-round, with the west side comfort station remaining open through winter. The campground includes a dump station, drinking water, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. A camp store and gift shop provide supplies and snacks, while the nearby Turkey Run Inn offers a restaurant, indoor pool, and cabin rentals. The park's primary draw is its exceptional trail system featuring 10+ miles of routes through box canyons, along sandstone cliffs, and beneath towering trees. Sugar Creek provides opportunities for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, with boat rentals available. The nature center offers interpretive programs and a planetarium. The park sits near several historic covered bridges, making it a destination for both outdoor recreation and scenic drives.
