Campers appreciate the spacious sites, especially those with yurts, and the opportunities for hiking and enjoying nature.

The campground it’s self was fine but it was extremely noisy for us. Lots of cars driving by late at night. The RV next to us had their generator on till midnight and then some kind of motor running all night long. Forest service was cutting down trees all day.

Excellent camp site, very well run and managed. Facilities and the yurt were extremely clean, and the bathrooms even smelled good, which is rare. Camp hosts were pleasant and very helpful. Check in and check out was fast and efficient. Location to trails was great. Most of all, the views, scenery, and wildlife sightings created am excellent experience.

Best group site I've ever used. Shaded, off the road(You drive through a stream to get to the private parking area), so quiet. The hosts were awesome. Did I mention a stream right through your camp! Beautiful.

I recently stayed 5 nights at Timpooneke Campgroud. The campground itself is lovely, wooded, lush and bathrooms were clean. However, for whatever reason, the forest service allows motorcycles/dirt bikes on a trail that goes above the campground. This is a pristine area with abundant wildlife. I have no idea why they would allow this. In addition there are many hikers on the trail. There was another trail we encountered at the summit that also allowed hiking and motorbikes and I'm sure there are others. The Alpine Loop is a beautiful road for motorcycles and I see no reason whatsoever that they should be allowing them on trails.
Our group of seniors was having a first night campfire when the camphosts came up and asked some members to show their senior passes which resulted in them having to leave to their campsites to obtain these. Although I know it says they can ask, this is the first time I have ever had a host ask for them and it was quite interfering.
