Very clean. Loved my spot. Very Quiet. Didn't have reservation but just a quick phone call. During week, I didn't see any host/ranger but might have missed them. Definitely would come back.

We really enjoy staying at turkey point. Jim and Tammy are great for keeping the bathrooms clean and well supplied. We enjoy visiting with them too. We would love to see more sites built and also a pavilion, sand volleyball and horseshoe pits. Our only complaint is too many dogs! One dog per site is ENOUGH! And make them clean up their messes.

Everything has been great here. Jim and Tammy have done a great job keeping the bathrooms and shower houses clean and smelling fresh. They go by at least twice a day! Very friendly too!

The shower house was very clean and well stocked with tp and soap. The pavilion was clean and had lots of trash cans that were emptied at least once or twice a day. Good seating and nice shaded area to hang out; we had about 30 people. Large parking lot right next to the camp sites for parking the boats and trucks. Some of the sites require boards under the tires to help with leveling. The boat ramp is located within a good location. The area was patrolled several times a day/evening by the ranger or sheriff. Our group had a great time and will be back.

This is a topnotch park in Kansas. We would definitely stay here again. The host was friendly and helpful, our site (23) was phenomenal. We saw so many incredible birds including orchard and baltimore orioles and philadelphia vireos.

The only problem we had is spots 7 and 8 need to be leveled out, THEY ARE SO BAD U CAN'T GET YOUR CAMPER LEVEL,

Sites were all fairly level with a few requiring 1-3” on the low side. One toilet, one shower, two sinks in the shower house. Shower and toilets were clean and stocked with TP upon arrival. Plenty of trash cans around and power outlets under the pavilion. Big community fire pit. Great views, basic play equipment for the kids, and a rocky but serviceable beach. Kids had a blast swimming, depending on your boat you may be able to beach it but it’s not soft sand. Staff and rangers were very friendly and helpful. We had an awesome weekend with a group of 50.
