Amazing Experience at Turtlecove
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Went for 4 days but wish I stayed for a week.
Had such an amazing time disconnecting (no cell service for Verizon, T-Mobile, & AT&T) and enjoying the amenities offered: unlimited firewood, handwash/dish station, flushing outhouse, private creek access, nearby volleyball net.
On arrival you stop by the General Store to get a map of the grounds and will be lead to your site. Easy check in, learned a little bit about the area, and quickly got to our site. Not many insects! No one got bitten by anything although… I woke up to a spider crawling across my arm one night 😭 (but it seemed friendly). Saw 3 different deer on separate occasions, they tend to be curious so it was important to put our food away each night to prevent them from associating humans with food. When we ran low on ice we purchased a bag from the General Store along with a cold Dr Pepper.
The sites are far enough you don’t hear much from other sites but at night you will see your neighbors fires. But our creek seemed pretty private and we were able to bathe a couple times. The water is FREEZING haha but it felt amazing to wash up.
According to my partner, the area was a nice hike because of the various levels of difficulty and terrain. Unfortunately I could not join on the hikes due to a knee injury.
Will absolutely recommend & return
