Turkey Creek Cove
Clean remote perfect camping spot
Janine’s property was a great spot for those who wanted a private more primitive camping experience. The location is nice and shady, and a great set up for our two tents for family camping. The creek and swimming hole was the cleanest around, well surpassing the quality levels of the state park water areas, and we enjoyed spending time down there looking for fish and crawdads. The drive in through the creek and up the hill was a fun 4 wheel experience too. The composting toilet wasn’t the best, but it was fine if you are used to using a hole in the ground for a bathroom. For us more remote primitive campers it worked.
The only downside was the highway road noise which was very minimal (only the occasional car and truck engine breaking), otherwise it was very relaxing and felt like we were in our own private little world. 10/10 would recommend though for a non - camping park site spot!

Nice getaway.
Great place to getaway from the crowd's
And the location is great if you like to venture to the Shawnee

Tent camping in the woods
Janine was phenomenal in helping us get to our site! It was a spur of the moment trip so it was dark when we arrived and I was unsure of driving across the creek (my jeep grand Cherokee made it easily) but she walked me the entire way to the campsite beforehand so I could get a better understanding of where the campsite was and was nothing but helpful. Beautiful land and a fun little swimming hole close by.

Turkey Creek Cove
Secluded, shady, swimming, horses!
Nice, secluded area with plenty of shade and a wonderful little creek and swimming hole right next to you! Bonus: my horse-lover daughter got to spend time with Mira and Joey, who enjoyed eating carrots out of her hand. Just minutes away from Shawnee State Park, where we went on a lovely hike. Next time we'll bring kayaks for the nearby lakes! Gorgeous area, wonderful hosts (we had to jump our van because a door got left open overnight, and Clinton was very kind to do that for us). Janine was always quick to answer any questions, and she left us firewood and water. Great experience!

Tent camping in the woods
Janine was very responsive and the site by the creek is very nice. The creek crossing was a bit more than I was expecting, but an Audi q5 made it with no issues at all.
If you want a nice private site instead of the crowded state park campground up the road I recommend it.

Turkey Creek Cove
Cool little camp site on the creek. Fun driving across the creek to get to the site. Nice and private. My only negative comment would be the traffic noise but I’m not sure that can be avoided. Host had wood for us brought us water everything was great.
