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.

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.

Nice spot. Limited level areas for large tents. Table area not shaded. Creek through campsite offers nice cool off area in summer

My first trip here and it was great. We had group space "E". The group spaces are far apart from each other, so much so that you cannot see the next campsite. One drawback: The pit toilets are adjacent to the next camp spaces, so one has to take a short walk to use them. No big deal. Also, one has to carry gear from the parking space over the small footbridge, to the camp space. Other than the two aforementioned drawbacks the trip was nearly perfect. No loud groups, and on a holiday weekend yet! I will return to camp at Timbercreek.
