Camping and Cabin options for overnight. The Cabins are great - recently updated and very clean. I fyou want to camp, reserve very early because they book far out. Bathhouses are adjacent and very clean. The park itself is heavily used by the community, but maintains its cleanliness and beautiful outdoor setting. A paved path runs the entire length of... More

I camped for 4 nights at Turkey Lake Park in the tent section. I was playing tennis in a tournament at Lake Cane, less than a mile away.
