We had a wonderful camping experience getting to see friends and using the immaculate bathrooms! Jim does a wonderful job of keeping them so clean and smelling good! They are the cleanest bathrooms we have ever seen at a campground.

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!

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.

Our weekend getaway at Turkey Point was very enjoyable, as always. It’s one of our favorite places to unwind, and I’m glad to see the positive changes in service are still going strong.

Jim and Tammy, the groundskeepers, continue to do an outstanding job. The way they interact with campers is truly professional—they make a point to check in and ensure everything is going well, and they do it with a level of friendliness and care you’d expect at a hotel.

Their presence adds a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere to the campground. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it really shows in how well-maintained and inviting the entire area feels. Looking forward to our next stay!

P.S. Another reviewer commented about the tall grass, and I’ll say I’ve only experienced that during one camping stay and I camp here about six times a year. It’s important to keep in mind that mowing services are contracted out and not done directly by Turkey Point staff. Sometimes things happen. Overall, the grounds are consistently well cared for.
