About Turkey Run Ridge Group

Turkey Run Ridge Group Campground has nine wooded group campsites which can accommodate a maximum of 25 to 40 people per site. Located in Prince William Forest Park, 35 mi southwest of Washington, D.C., the park's land was set aside during the Great Depression. In 1935 the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began restoring the previously over-farmed acreage, converting it to recreational lands for public use. The CCC built trails, dams, and cabins, making the park a wonderful place for recreation and relaxation. Parking is limited at Turkey Run Ridge Campground. It is recommended that visitors carpool when camping at Turkey Run Ridge Campground.

Turkey Run Ridge is an excellent youth campsite. My Scout Troop like many in the Northern VA area love it, and we have camped there for years, but we are now really scaling back due to the extremely high prices. When I started going there we could rent a 25 person site for $40 per night and a 40 person site for $60. Drivers who stayed would also have to pay a $5 park entry fee. The rate is now $65 for the 25 person site and $80 for the 40 person sites. Gone also is the $5 entry fee per vehicle. Now you must pay $20 per vehicles for a seven day pass. (I am sure there are many who don't because they cut down on enforcement and only ask for proof if you are not parked in a legal spot.) As honest Scouts we pay the fee. So, for my Troop to camp there with 60 people for two nights and 8 vehicles it cost $450 ($65+$80 x 2 = $290 for the campsites and 8*$20=$160 for the vehicles). There are lots of cheaper, equally nice alternatives.

Always have enjoyed Prince william forest park.
We had a camp out with some young men from church and they loved it. Quiet at night, and very clean.

I’ve camped at Turkey Run Ridge several times. Great trails are nearby, the Marine Corps Museum is a five minute drive from the park’s entrance, and the restrooms are clean and heated.

I didn’t get the chance to camp because the Boy Scouts organization rented out an entire area where I originally was suppose to camp at. Then, it took two months to receive a full refund.
