park review stars; one to five Our two rv clubs each spent a week there at Turkey Flats. Its a beautiful area. Well maintained. Park officials were all very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the new outdoor movie, but recommend more family friendly movies. One we saw was rated R and not good for children. We love your park and will definitely come back.
