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.
