I make it out to Turkey Point a few times a year. Staff is always helpful. Restrooms and showers are always clean. Campsites are always clean as well.

I will say staying at turkey point is a no worry campground. The camp guard Bob and his wife is great if there is anything wrong they are right there to help. The maintenance man keeps the restroom and shower house very clean.

Most of the sites are generously sized and level. While there aren't a lot of trails, they wind you past lake edge, fields, and forests. The camp staff is friendly and helpful as well. We're coming back!

Two reasons our stay at Turkey Point/Melvern Lake was rated "FAIR". 1) The grass had not been mowed which brings about more insects. The gnats are REALLY BAD. Hoards of them. Makes the camping experience very uncomfortable. 2) The asphalt and chat covering at each site is awful. In the heat of the day, the asphalt smells. The chat gets stuck to shoes and thus is carried into the camper. All this sticks to the tires of vehicles thus is thrown on wheel wells and fenders. Each site we have stayed this season has ruts because the asphalt is so soft. As a result, they hold rain water which supplies mosquitos a breeding place. All we campers need is more insects!!

We love Turkey Point. The camp hosts are great. There is continuous patrol by the park rangers and the sheriffs department. I feel very safe. The campground is very clean and well taken care of. It is a beautiful lake. The camp sites are spaced nicely and are well maintained. This is by far one of the nicest camp grounds we have stayed in. There are nice hiking trails. It is a great lake to kayak on.

We had a delightful weekend at Turkey Point. The campsites are nice sized and there was plenty of shade. It is easy to get around the campground and there are nice trails for walking.
