About

What do microwaves and the great outdoors have in common? Why the cabins at Turtle Creek State Park, of course! Stay in one of the high-end cabins where you'll feel like the ultimate glamper, or rough it out in your good ol' tent. With over 12,500 acres of natural beauty, you'll be awash in outdoor activities before you can say, "Hoorah!" Want to hike, bike, play volleyball, or even horseshoes? Done. Equestrian trails offer ample exploration for horse owners, and frolfing is a must with the 18-hole disc golf course. Did we mention there's an archery range as well? Practice your firearm savvy at the shooting range, or boat around the expansive waters. With everything from a beach to wildlife watching, the question is, what can't you do here?
