The campground and restroom were very clean. The setting is amazing - saw moose and elk near the campground. The Ranger that greeted us was very informative and friendly. We will definitely return!

It was cold overnight in a tent there, but the view of the stars in the sky was top notch, complete with the Milky Way across the center of the sky. Nice!

Nice quiet campground in RMNP. Bathrooms have running water and were relatively clean. Our campsite was a bit small. On the second night, the ranger made us move one of our tents to the parking surface from the grass, even though nobody said anything on the first day. Down side was that there were millions of mosquitos.

A wonderful campsite in a beautiful setting. More than adequate toilet facilities and there was one outdoor sink for dishes.

Great staff and clean bathrooms. We saw moose very close to camp. Don’t forget to bring insect repellent. Mosquitoes ate us up. The camp host said they had just come out this was late June.

One amazing experience! We cannot recommend Timber Creek campground enough. We camped near the river, and had animals in our campsite both nights we stayed there. The staff are not only friendly, but they genuinely care about the wellbeing of their guests, as well as remaining diligent about protecting the wildlife. I cannot wait to return!

campsites only have space for 1 tent big enough for two maybe 3 people. Park ranger not so nice. She gave us a citation for leaving some spices out on the table while we left the campsite during the middle of the day for about and hour. The scenery is beautiful but the campsite is no fun.
