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.

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 ft or so. 2 large tent pads. One playground swing on site. I would absolutely take this site again.

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!
