We stayed at Turkey Run State Park while visiting family in Indiana.
I have visited a couple of times but staying there was a great decision.
Being able to go on these hikes early in the morning(well as early as I could manage to get my kids out of the rv) was amazing.
We were able to beat the crowds and see the hollows in peace (as peaceful as you can get with 5 kids).
I just kept asking myself “why did I not come here all the time when I lived here?”
I grew up close to this beautiful place and only came a couple of times!
Loved watching him help her.
If we stay again we will choose a different camping spot though if we can.
This one was close to the road (so loud) and was not near the playground or nicer bathrooms at all.
Sunday morning we went to “Turkey Run Hollow.”
It ended up being a perfect hike for a Sunday morning.
I wish they had church in a place like this.
I decided checking out the Log Church at the park on a Sunday was pretty perfect also.
We made the mistake of leaving the dogs food out one night while we were there.
It was in a sealed container but I heard lots of growling in the middle of the night and we found it completely empty the next morning…
Oops.
They have a nice little nature center at the park.
My sister, her husband, and my niece came out to hike with us while we were there!
My parents came to see us also while we were there.

I really liked our stay and can’t wait to stay again!
We had no clue what it would look like and if we would be able to pay since we were getting there after 5 pm.
They do make it clear that they have flooding problems so keep that in mind when you go.
Instead of getting on the road right away the next morning(we were driving to Indiana for a family event).
I have begun to embrace that there will be these mishaps on our trips.



I really do not like being in the camper with the kids if I can avoid it (they have a lot of energy for a small space) so I took them down to the creek to eat their breakfast.
