"Turkey Run is arguably the most popular campground (and state park) in Indiana and has its pros and cons."
"Much enjoyed hiking some of the trails at Turkey Run State Park near Marshall, Indiana. This is Indiana's 2nd oldest state park, now 100 years old (1916-2016)."
$12 - $20 / night
"Canopied by the big beautiful Indiana trees. Close to some good hiking trails."
"Located north of turkey run state park shades offers all the hiking and scenic terrain with less amenities and less crowds. Sugar creek cuts through the ancient sandstone floor creating canyon walls."

"Cagles Mill Lake borders the southwestern side of the area.
We arrived to a very quiet campground with few campers."

"Nice clean park in west-central Indiana that has a lake and a large number of camping sites along with restrooms and showers."
"The campground is located within close proximity of both Turkey Run and Shades State Park."
"We arrived at 2am, but they had us all situated for late checkin. The campground itself was very lovely and quiet."
"Really cute little park with lots of shade and convenient access to Crawfordsville. We were here for a quick stopover, but made friends with several locals spending time here."
$30 - $45 / night
"There are few trails looping around for the walks. Most of tent sites got shade. Rv sites all seem to be level, although kind of close together. Nice and clean bathrooms and shower facility."
"The campsite it very spacious and there’s a decent amount of distance between each site. Sites by the river are especially nice."
$25 / night
"Only sites are next to us. Woods behind and open grass and field in front of this site. Disc golf course is awesome, in the woods, up and down ravine. 18 holes plus practice basket."
"That spot has a trail behind it to go down to a little dock which seems like many other people may use the trail, so probably won't use that site when it gets busy."
"This easy-access-from-the-highway RV park is really nice. The spots are accessible, the bathrooms are AMAZING (no…seriously), the little attractions are adorable and the host is terrific."
"It's a nice place to walk around, though we were wandering past empty tent spots so in the busy season it might be less free-form on where you can roam."
"Very clean and well kept, smaller but with direct access to an awesome creek. Kids played in the creek all day long. Cheap and plentiful firewood. Really friendly and family owned"
TravelerUsed this campground as a home base to visit downtown Indy. 20 minutes to downtown attractions.
TravelerStayed at Poplar Grove Electric campground. We were there for two nights. We were working and we were grateful StarLink worked well. Husband was able to take his gravel bike out for a nice ride after work and I got in a nice little walk. Bathrooms were fine but a long walk.
GuideWe passed through here and stayed the night. Prices are a little high compared to when you receive but the park is beautiful.
We stayed at site 1 thinking it would be nice for the kids to be next to a park but the park was pretty dull.
TravelerThis is the Bill Monroe Bluegrass Music Park & Campground near Nashville, IN. Very nice facility with nice stage for events. Sites are variable, some shaded & some full sun but it’s really all about the music!
TravelerOur first night, we arrived just at dusk. We set up right by the water. Mind you, we have a tent. The host asked where our Rv was, and I clearly marked that I had a tent. We woke up the following morning to find the lake is actually a large pond, 10 ft deep that is stocked every 2 years. Okay, I'm thinking the fishing would be good, even out on the boat, NOPE. MOSS EVERYWHERE! Raw sewage next to our camp site in the lake, the lake is filled with moss and black sewage overfill also. They packed the campers and tent within 10 to 15 feet if you were lucky of each other. Some of the parents were out of control, to the point the camp host even told us he wasn't a babysitter, but neither are my own two children. The lack of parenting really surprises me. We were fallowed by the host and workers on many occasions till the troubled parents came with their children. Needless to say, fishing sucked, do to moss even in the middle of the pond. Would have been nicer if we could have caught something, other than trying to pull other people's children out from in front of a MOVING RV!! And we weren't stacked on top of one another. Extremely crowded, stalker weird employees, they do not offer firewood or ice. They do offer an overcrowded experience, moss filled fishing, and free babysitting at other campers expense. We even asked multiple times if we could move spots, even if to primitive, we were told no, they were all booked, yet the spots remained empty. WILL NEVER BE BACK! If we didn't live 3 hours away, my husband even said we would have gone back home.
ScoutWe stayed over Memorial Day weekend. We had a great time. It was quiet and our spot didn’t have any neighbors. This location doesn’t have “sites” unless you’re using a camper/RV.
TravelerThis park is just other-worldly. We loved it. We hiked Trail 3, which has the ladders, and parts of trail 10, 4, and 2. Trail 10 was nothing special but was relatively flat. It was pretty crowded but people were respectful.
As for our campsite, it was really nice. We had site 94, which was right next to the bathhouse. It had almost a whole extra campsite's worth of space next to it for my kids to run around. It also had a tree for shade and was nice and level.
The bathrooms were okay. They were older but seemed to be fairly well maintained. The only complaint I had was that there wasn't enough counter space to set down items for getting ready, but that is minor.
Overall, wonderful park.
TravelerFriendly employees; my site was easy to level, beautiful wooded campground convenient to interstate
GuideThis campground was reasonably priced, had clean facilities and quite unusual and intesting hiking nearby. There are multiple trails and some quite challenging ones. No water hookups at the site but all except the "youth sites" had 110, 30, and 50 amp power. I was able to charge my ev without issue. Sites tried from all concrete to a dusty dirt and rock tent area, and all had old wood picnic tables. While the hiking was incredible, the maps of the trails were poor and not up to date, with some trails not on map at all. On one trail part of it went through box canyons up an active, though trickling, stream bed.
