Walls of Jericho - Turkey Creek Backcountry Campsite

This is a great site if you want to camp as close to the Walls of Jericho and the falls as you can get. It is about halfway up the trail between the cemetery and the falls. It has plenty of space for multiple tents and is right along the river so it has easy access to water. The major downside to this site in my opinion is that it can easily flood in heavy rain. So be prepared to set up on the highest part if there is any concern of that.

The Turkey Creek campsite is a campsite along the Walls of Jericho trail and is located just feet from Turkey Creek. The site is approximately 3.3 miles from the Alabama hikers trailhead parking lot. The campsite is level and large enough to accommodate a handful of tents. There are also many trees that would be suitable for hammock camping and in my opinion, this site is the best along the trail for hammocks. This site is fully shaded. There were 3 or 4 fire rings at this site, so multiple groups could be accommodated. 

This is backcountry camping so plan appropriately(no bathroom, pack it in- pack is out). We found no cell phone service with Verizon at this site. Water can be sourced from Turkey Creek if it is flowing, but should be treated/filtered(on this visit Turkey Creek was pretty dry at the campsite after a very dry summer, but was flowing a little better up stream closer to the falls).
