The Park has overnight accommodations.
They have what they call cabins, but they are not really cabins, and they also have what they call an Inn, It is actually more like a hotel.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources website is at:
http://www.in.gov/dnr they run all Indiana state parks.

I stayed there once it is a nice state park.

OK...My husband and I have been going to the Indiana State Parks alot this season..got a all year pass..just been enjoying seeing the sights here in Indiana..We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Crawfordsville and it is a nice hotel with a full breakfast included. We were very pleased and there are several other hotels on the same highway (Crawfordsville exit) the park is only about 20 minutes away..it is a beautiful park with alot to see including horseback riding, scenic trails to walk, a nature center, picnic areas, and a wonderful inn where you can stay (check on available reservations) and they have a restaurant to eat..good food...We also visited Harmony Park and OBannon Woods which are in south eastern and western Indiana and we stayed at the nicest hotel called the "Four Seasons" very nice and inexpensive and would recommend it..If you are planning to visit a lot of parks this year a full season pass is 40 dollars where each time you visit the park it is 5 dollars each time..I know you will enjoy Turkey Run...

There is an inn inside the park, just after you enter and drive past the "gate house". Rockville has a motel, but I'm not sure about the up-keep of it. You could also stay in Crawfordsville, and take 47 to the park, but its under construction (putting in a new bridge I think) and you would have to follow detour signs. Other then that, there are no motels/hotels around the area. Both are several miles from Turkey Run, but the drive is beautiful!

Crawfordsville is your best bet. If you get done with Turkey Run, try Shades State Park nearby. It is just as nice and not as crowded.

I stay interior the rustic. A herd of deer stay in my backyard. Turkey vultures watch them -- waiting, hoping. The occasional submit to stops by skill of for a visit. stupid porcupines have become formidable, I hate them. My skunks are behaving properly and the raccoon kin sends its greetings. Coyotes I shoot on sight, foxes get a bypass, they're too cool to shoot.

In the park itself there are cabins you can rent, and tons of camping! Just go to indyparks.com and look up turkey run!

honestly speaking i dont know why you would stay the night around there. its out in the middle of nowhere and there is not enough to do. an afternoon picnic will suffice
