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.

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.

We camped at site I with our scout troop. Lots of space for our group. During Saturday, we did one of the orienteering courses and enjoyed the park. It was nice to be able to camp at a location this late in the year with open toilet facility. Only issue we had was finding a water point...it was quite a ways from our site, near site A. Unless we missed a closer water point. Overall, great weekend.
