Don't think that would really bother Turin much. These are also Finrod's Noldor - the one he actually liked - and it's *possible* Galadriel is on hand to take charge of them.

I think the books actually specify that (fewer) refugees of Nargothrond are the ones who brought the message to Doriath that the city had fallen, sparking the whole incident with Morwen and Nienor running off to meet Glaurung. So we know Thingol would at least let them in, which is all we need to get Turin back with his family.

In this scenario they arrive significantly earlier, because they have Turin to lead them, and again - where else would he take a bunch of civilian refugees?
