Best Time to Camp at Wild Turkey Ridge Campground

Wild Turkey Ridge welcomes campers from April 1st through October 31st, when the Ozark weather is at its finest for outdoor adventure. During the operating season, you'll enjoy full amenities including water hookups, hot showers, and dump station access—all designed to make your stay comfortable. As the season winds down, some services are winterized, and beaches and staffed facilities close for the colder months. We recommend checking current conditions and exact opening dates with the park before your visit, especially if you're planning an early spring or late fall trip.
