About the Site
Nestled in a tranquil oak grove beside War Fork Creek, Turkeyfoot Campground offers a serene escape in a remote forest setting. During dry weather the creek disappears into a limestone sinkhole, creating a unique hydrological feature that attracts nature lovers.
Part of Area 19 on the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail, the campground features:
- 15 trailer‑ and tent‑compatible campsites
- Dedicated picnic area and multi‑sport playing field
- Vault toilets for guest convenience
Because the site is off‑grid, there is no electricity and no on‑site drinking water, so please bring your own supplies.
Activities
• Hiking and mountain biking along well‑marked trails
• Limited off‑highway vehicle (OHV) paths for adventurous visitors
• Stream fishing in War Fork Creek (subject to local regulations)
Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway or a base for exploring the surrounding wilderness, Turkeyfoot Campground provides the essentials while preserving the natural beauty of the area.
