We are repeat campers. Stayed at B-41 again, a nice private pull through site. It's great to see the pines and spruces growing and filling in in this campground! The ranger programs were fun and informative. The rangers were all helpful, too. A crew thinning trees shared a lot of info about the growth and purpose of their work. Great to have easy to load fresh water in our trailer, and a 1-hole dump station. Restrooms were convenient and clean. Hiked the North Inlet Trail out of Grand Lake, to Cascade Falls, through a burn area but stunning nature on display, including the hundreds of baby lodge pole pines everywhere! Very little shade, be prepared! The East Inlet Trail we'd hiked before, and loved. This time we also hiked East Shore trail of Shadow Mountain Reservoir to the dam. All recommended. Many closer hikes nearby as well we've done before (Lulu City, etc.) Cell service AT&T not available in campground, but could receive closer to Grand Lake.

Loved camping at Timber Creek. It's the less busy side of the Park, so even though the campground was full, it wasn't noisy and everyone was very respectful of each other. They offer a Ranger talk every night, which were great! We've never gone to any of these but the Rangers were entertaining with lots of great info. We will definitely camp there again.

Great, clean campground. I do wish there were individual bear boxes since sometimes people can be inconsiderate storing their things and it feels intrusive to walk through someone’s camp at night.

We had an amazing evening at Rocky Mountain Timber Creek Campground! A special highlight was the great evening with Ranger Zoe, who gave us a fantastic talk and shared so much interesting information. The campground has a beautiful location right in the valley, surrounded by incredible nature and plenty of wildlife. A truly memorable experience and a great place to stay!

Sites are nice, but the campground could use some updating. There are not as many restrooms at this campground as there are at others.

Good campground, easy to get the reservation and easy to get into the campground. Lots of kids as always but overall they are always very sweet. The amphitheater show is a blast, and the park rangers do a good job at keeping people entertained but always making the kids have fun.

Everything about this campground is truly excellent—from the scenic setting and clean facilities to the smooth check-in process and quiet atmosphere. It would easily be a five-star experience if not for one persistent downside: the flies.

Great vistas. Ranger talks were excellent. Many campsites have a decent amount of privacy. Lovely to have easy access to the river and Holzwarth.
