What Guests Are Saying

Timpooneke campground is praised for its stunning views, clean facilities, and friendly hosts who take great pride in maintaining the site. Campers appreciate the spacious sites, especially those with yurts, and the opportunities for hiking and enjoying nature. However, some noise from nearby roads and vehicles can be disruptive during the night, which may affect the overall camping experience.

Stayed at campsite 001, right next to Host site which was nice. Hosts were awesome. 2 pit toilets shared between campsites 001 & 002, well kept. 003 gets their own bathroom and isolated space so that is the one to book if you want more privacy. One downside is there is a lot of overnight road noise from all the groups going to hike timp overnight and for sunrise. There was also a shuttle van that drove by to drop people off every 30 minutes overnight midnight-6am that made it a tough night sleep.

The site we had was very beautiful. We were only able to get Thurs. night July 23. We told the camp hosts Nola and Mi
ke we would like to stay another night if someone left or cancelled. They came later Thurs. night and told us someone had cancelled in the spot we were in so we could stay another night. We were happy and stayed. Also, we thought Nola and Mike were great camp hosts.

What a great camping site. Great location, easy to find and easy to get to. The stream is an amazing feature. Able to keep the drinks and fruit in it to stay nice and cold. The grandkids had a blast playing in it, specially when it was hot, cooled them right off. At night it was perfect to fall asleep to. Plenty big enough for all 16 of us.
The hosts are INCREDIBLE! Mike and Nola were super friendly, professional and did a wonderful job making our stay enjoyable. They kept the restroom clean and refreshing. They did an AMAZING job. They clearly love want they do! They genuinely care about all that come and stay at Timpooneke. Thank you Mike and Nola!!!!
Just a tip, buy those bag fly traps at Home Depot, THEY WORKED better than expected. We had no flies during our meals. Incredible feat for the outdoors.

What an awesome place to camp! This camp site is at the upper-end of the campground and you are surrounded by forest. Feels very secluded and very far away from Alpine Loop so no listening to vehicles roaring by all night. Lots of wildlife too. Our family saw a couple of moose pass right by us around 8pm and then all night we could hear animals outside our tent walking around the bushes.

Camp site was very clean and the bathrooms are as clean as they get for the outdoors. Will definitely be returning.

Timpooneke is an awesome camp ground and the hosts are superb. That being said, the rating here is in specific regard to sites 004 and 005. These two sites are connected to the Timpooneke trailhead parking lot and as a consequence, in the wee hours of the morning and all night long there is a high chance of large congregations of noisy people gathering in said parking lot. It makes for a very interrupted evening. Otherwise, the site is great for groups or people who like to use large tents, the spigot is close by and there’s great access to hiking and a stream near by. One other downside is the toilet situation. You can use the vaults in the parking lot or you have to walk a ways down to the group sites/host site to use the (way cleaner and nicer) vault down there which makes things troublesome if you have small children that get up in the night. We brought along our portable toilet and shelter for kids to use at night so they didn’t have to make the trek.
