Turlo is only about 45 minutes from my house so it was the perfect choice for a last minute decision for a over night stay. We did not make reservations but were able to get a fairly decent site. We were close to the vault bathroom which was pretty clean. There is access to the river that some people were swimming in but the water was freezing. There are also some sites that have direct access to the river which would be the ideal spots to camp. There is a hike that takes you to the campground Verlot which has a better beach area but is bigger and seems like the sites are less private. Really close to Mt. Pilchuck road that takes you to Heather Lake trail. Nice hike.

So, other then the creepy guy that camped next to us and was trashed and wouldn't stop staring at our campsite, it was a nice opening to the camping season. I don't think we will ever go back though. We just live too close to other places that are better.
