Timberline Glamping at Hillsborough River

We had an absolutely magical glamping trip with the whole family—our 2-year-old and 7-month-old included! I was genuinely blown away by how luxurious it felt. Everything we needed was right there in this adorably decorated tent, making it feel more like a cozy retreat than roughing it in the wilderness.
The bonfire area was stunningly set up, and we spent the day fully immersed in nature—playing, exploring, and then gathering around the fire to sing songs and gaze at the stars, all while staying perfectly comfortable.
Glamping like this is such a brilliant way to enjoy the outdoors with little ones—no tents to pitch, no sleeping on the ground, just pure family bonding under the open sky. Highly recommend it for any parents wanting adventure without the hassle! 🌟

We had a really great time on our glamping trip. It was the perfect balance of being outdoors while still having the comfort of a well-set-up space. There was plenty of room for our family to spread out and relax, which made everything feel easy and stress-free.

Canoeing was definitely a highlight. Getting out on the water was fun and a nice way to spend time together without any distractions. The surroundings were beautiful, and it was just a simple, enjoyable way to be outside.
Overall, it was a smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable getaway. We’d definitely do it again.

My husband, our golden retriever and I spent the night at Timberline Glamping and had the BEST time! Dog friendly campsites are always a plus, we love traveling with our golden girl!

It was a colder night in February here in Florida but the insulated tent equipped with a heater had our stay nice and cozy! We really enjoyed the twinkling lights that surrounded each campsite. The ambiance was exactly what we were hoping for for our quiet get away from the city.

We made steaks on the charcoal grill, shared wine, and played some of the games that were inside our tent! Such a pleasant surprise.

Our coffee on the porch the next morning provided by Timberline was top tier.

I cannot say enough good things about Timberline, the communication from staff was wonderful and this state park is just
So well kept. We will definitely be back!

Booking was simple on their website and I had been looking forward to this trip with my partner for a few weeks. The morning of I got a text to introduce us to staff and direct any questions we had. We only stayed a night but it was a great way to unplug a bit, and relax— the outlets are very helpful even though I was on DND. The space was clean and well maintained with only a few critters heard outside at 3am (the raccoons didn’t make it in but they do scurry around which is funny). Although there was a burn ban in effect we made the most of our meals by bringing a cooler with some pub subs and breakfast items, the refrigerator provider fit our drinks and yogurts for the morning. After checking out in the morning we stayed in the park for a bit to walk around one of the trails. I think next time I’d want to rent a canoe and stay longer!

Timberline Glamping was a wonderful experience for my husband and I. We were in a single bed bell tent which had plenty of room, even when were forced inside due to a downpour. A/C was a Godsend! Even though I spent my days relaxing and reading outside in the shade of the tress (90 deg+), having the A/C to get a break and a cool, comfortable night's sleep was amazing. The coffee provided is an excellent, robust roast and yes, I bought the coffee cup! We invited friends to visit for an afternoon and they too were totally sold on the experience, and have vowed to try it for themselves!
The restroom for the section is a bit "remote" as it sits in the middle of a "field" and was not quickly/easily accessible for my disabled husband for "nighttime" use, flooding of the site after a heavy thunderstorm was an issue for a few hours until it receded., but hey, that's camping! 🏕️
