VerifiedAugust 2, 2021 • Stayed at: B, Loop: TIMBER CREEK CAMPGROUND
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.

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.

We were in a group site, close to the restrooms. We had a great weekend, and had the entire campground to ourselves! We loved the stream!

The campsite itself was great! The kids got to play in the cool creek and the shade at campsite E was wonderful!

We stayed two night with no other campers in sight. The description is a “group” campsite but we stay quite comfortably in B with just two tents. Stream has fish, morning and night visits from deer and off spring, wooded , clean bathrooms. The only downside is that due to people not keeping a clean camp there are mice. So we keep our packs in bed of our truck on the road and still a mouse chewed through one of them. Bummer.
