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.

We love Timber Creek Campground. But the road into the campground has gotten so bad that it is not worth staying there anymore.
