Great little campground. Not crowded at the end of September. The park has plenty of things to do for the whole family. Hiking, biking, lake sports, etc..Verizon coverage is minimal AT&T was better but not great. Full tree cover so can’t use Starlink. No sewer.

They do but not yours

We have a group of 7 do we need to reserve the picnic area or first come first serve?

Roberto Gonzalez | Oct 14, 2018
Glenn Gutkowski | Oct 14, 2018

There are picnic areas for reservation only, if that's what you'd like to do in order to guarantee your spot. Otherwise, first come first serve at the public areas.

Ben Geffken | Oct 13, 2021

Yes, you can bring your own. Done it myself. You used to be able to get a license (maybe temp) from the rental stand. Due to COVID, they might have moved this to the front office.

I don't know for sure but I think so. Alcohol is not permitted but I can't see why non alcoholic beer would be frowned on.

What is check in and check out time at turkey swamp park

Richard Walker | Oct 13, 2021
Theresa Newton | Oct 13, 2021

I believe Jesse is correct. However if a campsite is vacant more than likely they will allow you to get in earlier. They also are not extremely pushy about you getting out at exactly check out time unless there's somebody waiting on that site.

How much is it per night to camp out ??

Keke Araujo | Oct 13, 2020
Ben Geffken | Oct 13, 2020

The rates just changed this year and are actually different between county ($38) and non county residents ($44). I don't think it changes between tent and camper because all sights have electric and water. Cabins are more expensive.

Curtis Walker | Oct 13, 2020

No. There is a water spigot outside of the cabin but no toilet or sink. The bathrooms are down the way from the cabins. It's probably a couple city blocks or a quarter mile... Because of chronic pain I drove

I don't know for sure, but I cant see a reason why you couldn't as long as you're not digging holes everywhere. Just don't infringe on someone else's site. I'd call the office as I have found them very helpful. If you're rv'ing and want to hookup to water, give them your site number and they'll tell you how much hose to bring too.
