Turkey Run Ridge Group Campground
Turkey Run Ridge Group Campground (TRR) is a wooded camping facility for organized groups of seven or more persons. The campground is open year-round.
Amenities
Each site has a picnic table, grill/fire pit, parking area and lantern post. Restrooms feature sinks and flush toilets (no showers). There is one amphitheater with bench seating, which is reservable on a first-come, first-served basis.
Amphitheatre use
The Amphitheatre at TRR consists of semi-circular bench seating around a fire pit. The Amphitheatre is reserved through the normal permitting process. A group leader must have a bucket of water during the campfire. Fires must be contained within the stone pit. Bonfires or enlarging the stone enclosure is not permitted. All fires must be "dead" out when you leave.
Capacity
TRR is a 6-site campground:
- 3 sites accommodate up to 25 people
- 3 accommodate up to 40 people.
Campers are limited to no more 14 overnight stays in a calendar year (January through December).
Fees
Each Turkey Run Ridge Group Campground site is $40 per site per night. Please note: This does not include the park's entrance fee of $5 for each private vehicle or $3.00 per person over 17 for commercial vehicles (including 15 passenger vans). Entrance fees are good for 7 consecutive days.
