Turkey Creek Campground offers a beautiful and serene experience, with clean bathrooms and showers, friendly staff, and a relaxing atmosphere enhanced by a nearby creek. Guests have appreciated the well-maintained facilities and the stunning natural surroundings, including fall colors and stargazing opportunities. The only minor downside mentioned is the strict 10 PM quiet time, but overall, visitors look forward to returning to this exceptional campground.

Such a cool spot. Just spent a couple nights here and I already looking forward to my next time here.
The bathrooms are sooo clean. Hot shower, clean toilets. Electricity at the sites and a nice creek to listen to while you fall asleep. 11/10

Camped here the last day of 2025 Great Smoky Mountain Railroad excursions. Fantastic location, very clean showers and restroom, attentive staff and great communication. Located halfway between Tail of the Dragon and Bryson City. We pulled a trailer and picked this location to avoid too many curvy roads to our home base. We will come again!

Excellent campground! Very clean bathrooms and showers. Only downside is the 10pm sharp quiet time. Like really quiet as in you have to whisper as in basically don’t make a noise. I could understand like hey let’s lower our voices at 10 and maybe like 11pm you have to whisper. Other than that we loved this campground!

Turkey Creek campground was absolutely beautiful! We stayed from 10/31-11/2 and thoroughly enjoyed being here. The host is more than accommodating. He was friendly, helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We chose camp site 3 where the creek was running behind us. That creek put us to sleep at night lol. The bathrooms are clean and updated. I wish they had been a little more well lit, but lighting is subjective. I will say the hike up from the campsites to the restrooms is quite steep but doable. Overall we would definitely stay here again. If you have any questions or concerns, the host (Rick) will be more than happy to help!

We stayed here for 4 days and had an amazing experience. Our campsite was right next to a beautiful flowing creek, which made everything feel calm and relaxing. The restrooms were super clean and well maintained, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our favorite part was the hike to the lake where we got to see an active rail track, and we were lucky to see a train pass by around 9:40 AM. They have plenty of firewood and ice available 24/7, and there’s free coffee near the front desk. We also enjoyed stargazing at night—there were so many stars visible. We visited at the end of October and the fall colors were stunning. Overall, it was a calm, pleasant, and truly amazing stay. Highly recommend! 🌟
