The Turkey Run State Park Campground is great because of its location to the various creek tour spots.

The camp store is small, but has enough stuff to get you out of a basic bind: food items, household stuff, some clothing, souvenirs.

Campground had decent signal for Verizon and AT&T.

Camp spots were tight, uneven, and many had strong-to-severe grades.

The campsite has a wonky layout and for a lot of the bigger rigs, this is a tight camp ground to navigate.

We had a pull-through site so no complaints.

Septic dumps were almost a complete 90* angle turn from the main camp road into the lane for waste dumping. For a longer rig, the angle of the turn will give you some anxiety.

Creekside RV park is a clean and welcoming park about 10 minutes from The Island at Pigeon Forge. Because of that, this is exactly what we were looking for. 

Bathrooms are clean. Pool was nice. Showers had plenty of hot water and appeared to be cleaned multiple times daily. 

My only complaint - as is common with privately owned RV parks - is that the sites were difficult to get into. The camper across the street from my site had to move his truck so that I could get enough angle to back into my site.

Family-owned park about 10 minutes (+/-) from the closest beach. Amazingly clean restrooms with nice showers and full hook-ups. The front office even had ice cream parties and scavenger hunts for kiddos!

They do have park-wide WiFi, but with the number of campers, the server gets bogged down. We were able to stream Netflix early in the morning, and very late in the evening. 

There were a lot of friendly campers here and it looked like quite a few full-timers live here. 

The parking pads were large and level, but there wasn't much space around the site. 

My only complaint - and is common with the more tourist area private-owned parks - is that you get jam-packed in these places. No room for the boys to throw a football, or to run and play tag. That's okay though, because we came for the beach. Just be ready to be up close and personal with your neighbors. My front door was about 15 feet away from the neighbors driver side slide-out.

Pros: Very nice large-size pool with slide, attached playground, green space, and sand-filled soccer pitch all included on the pool grounds. These amenities are great as the pool takes a 15 minute clear-out break about once per hour. There is a concession stand with limited selection, but the benefit is that it takes credit card (and cash). 

The camp store is not the best we've visited. Very limited supply, but they did keep a stock of bacon in their refrigerator and that made my wife happy. 

Cons: Typical Indiana State campground. We visited for a weekend and landed in a terrible spot. The grade was severe and despite using all the travel trailer tricks to level my site, I could not get level. We dealt with it, but I noticed 4 or 5 quality spots that sat vacant through the weekend, however, were allegedly reserved. I had terrible anxiety for the entire weekend that we would roll backward into a ravine. 

We were on an electric side of the park, and the pull-through site across from us was occupied by a tent with a minivan. No judgment here, but they were watching highly taboo movies on a wide screen projector with loud speakers around midnight, well after quiet hours had expired. 

Verizon and AT&T cell phone service were nil, even with a booster and WiFi pack. Our site was littered with cellophane wrappers and cigarette butts. Clearly the previous campers did not adhere to the "leave no trace" doctrine. 

DNR was very, very present at the campground, but at many sightings it seemed like they were watching for rule infractions as opposed to upholding the integrity of the park. I know that seems conflicting, but if you visit this park you will understand. 

Bathrooms were mostly clean. Vault toilets were disgusting, but that's expected for concrete topped port-a-potties.

We did a quick overnight at site 32 on our way to Pigeon Forge. Wish we would have stayed here for the 5 days we spent in Pigeon Forge. Beautiful campsite, right on the water, with walk-in access. Site had water and electric, but did not have sewage. Because we only stayed for a night, we had to use facilities on site (didn't want to dump tanks). Aside from being up a HUGE HUGE step-incline hill, facilities were clean.

Excellent RV park. I hesitate to even bring attention to it because parks like this get booked out in a hurry. It's off the beaten path, in the woods about 15 minutes from the closest ocean. 

There's a small park right off the bridge of 331 that has a small beach (Grady Brown Park). Panama City Beach is about a 40 minute drive depending on traffic. Destin is about 30 minutes depending on traffic. 

The owners are very responsive to email and even let us do an overnight check in a day prior to our actual stay. Each site is large with a sand and gravel base. Full hook-ups, good water, and sewage. 

Also, the park has amazing WiFi. I got great service with Verizon. My wife got great service with AT&T.  

I will tell you, this is a pitch-black at night, quiet park and you don't see too many folks doing any of the typical RV park loitering. Seems like a lot of folks park their rigs and then head for the beaches. 

We loved it here and will definitely come back. If you're looking for thrills and frills, this park isn't for you. If you're looking for full hook-ups, a quiet place to park your rig, and peace and quiet, this is a great spot. We brought our 17 foot long tow vehicle and 33 foot camper and had no problem getting into our spot. Plenty of space between sites.
