    Several cabin camping options surround the Covington, Indiana region, with Turkey Run State Park Campground and Off The Trail Campground offering electrical hookups and modern amenities. Turkey Run's cabins provide shelter while maintaining a rustic outdoor experience with access to bathrooms, showers, and fire rings. Most cabins include standard furniture and basic electricity. According to one visitor, "We took our van and stayed at Turkey Run for a three night weekend. We were in a wooded section and it was pretty private however our site was pretty sloped." The bathrooms at Turkey Run feature hot showers with good water pressure and are regularly maintained.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are available, depending on the location. The Crawfordsville KOA offers cabin rentals year-round with more developed amenities than state park options. Turkey Run Canoe & Camping provides seasonal cabin accommodations from April through November, while Peaceful Waters Campground operates May through October. Covered Bridge State Forest Retreat offers more secluded cabin options. A recent review noted, "The bathrooms were okay. They were older but seemed to be fairly well maintained." Most campgrounds allow pets in cabin areas with specific restrictions, and reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer and fall weekends.

    Most cabins provide beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between cabin campgrounds near Covington, with some offering only fire rings with grates while others include refrigerators and microwaves. On-site camp stores at Turkey Run State Park and Sugar Creek Campground stock essential items and firewood. These stores typically carry limited grocery items, ice, and camping supplies. Visitors should plan to bring most food supplies, cooking equipment, and personal items. Portable water is available at most properties, though proximity to water sources varies by cabin location.

      Great place to stop overnight or for a few days. Can hear the highway; but it's not very loud or intrusive. Camp host/owner is very friendly. Plenty of room for kids or pets to roam and play. Very clean and safe.

      Turkey Run State Park Campground

      Nice Big Sites

      I have to say it is always nice to stay at a state park in the off season. There are a couple hundred sites in this park and we were one of about 12 occupants. Even if this park had been full, the sites offer nice space. Sites vary from full shade to wide open out in the sun. Bathrooms are clean, but they are pretty spread out. Most sites offer electricity, but no water or sewer hook-up for RV. Water spigots are pretty spread out too. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. I didn't see any camp hosts that sold firewood when office is closed. Park is located right across the street from the local high school, I thought this was sort of odd.

      We were just passing through for a nights stay, but it looked like there were some nice trails for hiking. The children playgrounds looked nice as well.

      Off The Trail Campground

      Lots of fun!

      We stayed in buddy sites 81 and 82. Buddy sites are large, have full hookup, fire pits, and picnic tables. Lots of dogs around, pricing was about $50 a night per site. Restrooms had showers as well which made it easy to rinse off the mud. Great time all around.

      Turkey Run State Park Campground

      Large campground with spacious sites

      This 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.

      Turkey Run State Park Campground

      Terrific campground and state park

      We stayed here this weekend and had a terrific time. The weather was very hot but there is a river to tube and canoe in to keep you cool. We stayed at site #35. It is in a very quiet, off the main road, in a circle, in full shade. It’s is very close to the restroom but a distance from the camp store and dumpster. The site was clean and well equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. The site is very uneven. It definitely sloops to the back corner. It’s was difficult to level our camper but we got it in the end. The site was huge but given the unevenness it would be difficult for tents. The campground is family friendly and was quiet at night. There is a lot to do at this state park. We hiked the #3 and #5 trails and it took us about 2 hours. It was very busy but everyone was very polite. It was a great stay all around.

      Turkey Run State Park Campground

      Nice State Park Campground

      Turkey Run State Park. Arguably one of the top 5 state parks in Indiana.

      Lots of hiking opportunities, including the fabulous Trail 3 which should be a National Trail IMO. Go hike early before 10 am. This area gets crazy busy after that. 

      Nice nature center.

      2 covered bridges.

       A swimming pool in season.

       A historic inn with a restaurant. You can rent cabins also. 

      The Lusk home has tours every Saturday in season. 

      The campground is a mile or so west of the entrance to the park.

       Electric only. 270 sites. Water is available.

       There's modern bath houses with hot showers.

       We were site 218, which is technically the Turkey Hollow area. The bath house there was clean. We liked our loop for spacious sites( for a state park).

       The Twin Oaks loop seemed denser.

       There's a double dump near the exit. There's also one dump at the end of a loop by site 60. We were happy the other 4 campers trying to dump forgot about it! 

      Trail 7 access is also at the end by site 44. It's not marked on the map.

       The camp store has the usual camping supplies & gift items. Ice & wood. 

      We enjoyed our weekend here! Even though it rained Saturday.

      Crawfordsville KOA

      Nice KOA

      Shade, grass, and gravel sites. A lot better than most KOAs. They ask that you not put outdoor rugs on grass; no problem as grass is nice. Sites 1-10 are your best bet for Starlink if that’s what you have; best opening through tree canopy of the northern sky. Pet friendly; counted three cats and a dog in the office when I checked in. Was given the option of choosing my site out of the seven available for my reservation. A mix of long term residents and travelers; some of the long term resident sites were a little junky.

      Turkey Run State Park Campground

      Gobble this place up!

      When I was younger this is the place the family would go. For fishing, hiking, and just being in nature . Has some really great trails, and if you stay at the campground itself , it has activities for the youguns ‘. When ever I am in the neighborhood, I will stop by for a weekend in a tent. Near a roaring campfire and widdle some thing out of a piece of wood. It’s peaceful, yet you’re not alone. It isn’t entirely off grid. I prefer BLM myself. But if you’re going to hit a “camp ground” this is one of my favorites.
