What Guests Are Saying
Timber Creek Campground is praised for its cleanliness, beautiful sites, and the availability of shade and a cool stream during hot summer days. Many visitors enjoyed the well-maintained restrooms and the peaceful atmosphere, especially during midweek visits when the campground was less crowded. However, some reviews noted that the access road is rocky, which may pose challenges for certain vehicles.

This is a remote campsite. The spaces are laid out very well. No single sites are immediately next to each other. The are picnic tables but no potable water.

This campsite is so beautiful and secluded. There is a small creek running through it and you are nestled into the aspens and pines. At the B site, you're pretty spaced out from A and D but C is right on top of you. In our case, C was empty so it felt like we were alone in the woods.
While there are plenty of tables and sitting areas, I think the campsite is mostly designed for RVs as there aren't a lot of good places to place a large number of tents. We were a small group so there wasn't any problem, but if you're planning on having 4 or 5 tents, you're going to be right on top of each other.
5 stars. Loved this campsite. Will 100% return.

Site E was beautiful. You do have to walk a short distance to the campsite from the car, over a small creek with a bridge. 100 feet or so. 2 large tent pads. One playground swing on site. I would absolutely take this site again.

Beautiful location. The entry dirt road to the campsites is slow going, long and very bumpy.
We reserved a group site for 15 people camping in tents.
Campsite C is good for RVs not great for large groups 25-100 people camping in tents.
"C" has the bridge from the parking area with running water/vaulted toilets to the picnic tables. The picnic tables, grill and campfire ring were great! Just as described in the facility information. Lots of firewood around to gather. However, the site itself does not have a clearing for tents. There is an area beside the picnic tables with large rocks you can move and grade the dirt/rocks for 1-2 tents (6 people) at most. There was no area for 25 people to set-up tents and camp. There is a large area of bush and trees in the site but not an area for tents. We had a great time. The creek running under the bridge is peaceful, the stargazing in awesome!

The campground was absolutely gorgeous with the leaves changing and was pretty quiet. Spots were generally right on the creek. We reserved group spot A, but it was difficult getting our toy hauler level enough, couldn’t see the creek from it and was a jaunt to get to the fire ring and picnic tables. We ended up in a single spot up the road. A hunter did leave a carcass and blood all over group site A, which we took care of and cleaned up, but don’t be a jerk. There is no camp host. Water is off this time of year. Bathrooms were decent.
