Timberland Lake Campground

If it were not for the friendly neighbors, I would give this place one star. Heard a lot of good things about the campground so decided to give it a try for Labor Day weekend. The place certainly is showing its age. The sites are not maintained. The seasonal campers are not required to maintain their sites or campers. No one follows the 11pm quiet hours. Someone decided to light off m-80’s and other fireworks at midnight. The power in our section is still on fuses. Lost power multiple times. Camp store is not cleaned. Food products covered in dust. Bathrooms are not maintained. People speeding left and right and blowing dust every where. Such a shame as I was hoping to have found a new place to visit.

I would like to start my review by saving everyone at campground, workers and guests alike were all very nice, approachable and super friendly. There is where my positive points stop sadly.
The campground is filthy. There is garbage blowing everywhere. Seasonal sites that appear to have not been visited in years. Kudos to those very few and far between campers that try hard and have beautiful sites, but the sites full of busted tents, filthy campers, toys everywhere, garbage and just general filth make it look bad for everyone.
This place could be really beautiful if they required their guests to have any pride in ownership at all and held them to a standard.
I also have to mention the house when you pull in. The yard is full of animals (mini horse, goat, ducks, donkeys) which I love, but it is filthy. And the poor animals have to live in it. I have owned up to 3 horses a one time and multiple other animals, it is not that hard to keep it clean. The only animals living their best life are the ducks cause they can waddle over to the pond.
Would love to see this place cleaned up as it could really be something. Just an idea, but how about the Campground clean up themed weekend where everyone comes together to clean the place up? I know I would gladly volunteer to help clean up the animal area.

Bathrooms were clean, but dated. The water in the showers was scalding HOT. We had a pull through space but arrived after dark, so it was difficult to see the very small roads through the park as they are obscured by pine needles. It was VERY quiet until 4am when a rooster started crowing(3+ hours before sunrise!). This was just one overnight stop on our route, so we cannot speak to other amenities offered here. For $40, we would definitely stop here again!

Timberland Lake is a really special place. We have been coming here for over 20 years. While some have complained, I find some wounds are self-inflcted. For instance, they clean the bathrooms regularly. Unfortunately, when the floor is still wet from mopping, it attracts dirt. Before you complain about dirty floors, look behind you to see how much you just tracked in. Also, while everyone here is very accepting, if you act like a jerk you're not going to have a good time. Management is fair and looking for everyone to have a good time. It's safe for children as staff and seasonals are on the lookout for trouble. My daughter grew up here and also loves it. It's NOT glamping! You might see a snake, frog, geese, even a deer or two. The lake is all natural, not dredged and chlorinated for swimming. It is great for fishing though.
