Overview of Turkey Foot Campground
Use caution at the low water ford across the creek at the campground entrance. Do not cross if flooded. Low lying areas are prone to flooding, so be alert for flooding when driving, camping or crossing streams in this area.
The gravel road into the campground is quite steep and may be unsuitable for campers towing large trailers, or passenger cars with very low clearance.
Food and trash storage are mandatory, to reduce odors that attract bears. Unless cooking or eating, store your food and trash inside a hardtop vehicle, the trunk of a car or a bear-resistant container.
Last Price Paid: $0

Not bad for free. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because of the trash people have left behind. But like others have said, no frills, no cell. Pack in pack out. Pit toilets mostly clean and stocked with paper.
Not a lot of FREE camping options in KY, so I am grateful for this one.

Road is not really steep, but long and gradual. Well maintained gravel forest service road. Not suited for large rv’s/fifth wheels due to a few tight turns and low hanging branches.
No cell phone service, no trash receptacles, no water, no frills.
A couple of vault toilets.

Easy to find, nice small campground with a creek at the bottom of the hill. Easy trip to make. If it rains the day before there is a flood zone you will have to cross, only about 8-10ft wide.

Definitely out of the way but very nice. Fire pits and picnic tables, beware that it's a flood area, I dont know when it would be flooded but the pathway the water took was huge. Kind of cool to see dried out though! Might be a bit of a drive for an RV and I dont know where you would park.

Once we got here (which was a whole adventure... I'll just say don't trust Google maps to reroute you - see picture I posted with recommended detour!) the campground was really beautiful with the forestry and creek. The vault toilets, however, were not - it was like a cricket breeding ground.
There were two other sites with people the night we went, but several cars drove through and visited at the creek a bit or came to hike trails and leave. Heard a few distant coyotes and closer owls throughout the night too.
We are hammock campers and there were a few sites that would've worked for us but my hubby is super allergic to poison ivy so we had to be picky and ended up at site #1 where there was less of it. We'll definitely be back for more weekend adventures and to explore the trails some more.

No amenities. Sites are beautifully landscaped with railroad ties, fire pits, picnic tables and lantern holders. Road in is unpaved and steep. Last turn into campgrounds is sharp and could be difficult with large rigs.

“can't access the campsite”
noted 5/10/2023
The road to the campsite is blocked by a huge tree. No cell service and the road is all grave and uneven . It is beautiful aroun there but like I said the road is blocked
