Timber Creek Campground

Nice campground along Timber Creek. 11 sites- 5 group sites and 6 FF sites. (It's possible Sites 1 & 2, being so close to the group sites, may be less quiet than the rest of the sites. We used Site 6 and it was very quiet.) No Verizon service whatsoever. Clean. Didn't use restrooms, as we were using our TT, so can't comment on that. A few water spigots spaced throughout the campsites. Lots of bees and some biting flies when we were there in July, but not too bad and the bees were not aggressive. About 4 miles of "washboard" dirt road to traverse before you reach the campground. That being said, we really enjoyed our stay.

CG was redone in 2019 to be 5 group sites and 6 individual sites. Group site A is a loop off the road with 5 long picnic tables and a little playground; very private. Group sites B, C and D are bunched together by the bathroom; some parking off the road. Group site E is further up the road, a little separate, but parking is across the road from the site (not so good for RVs). Six individual sites are further up in a loop off the main road, with their own bathroom. Group sites can be reserved online; individual sites not. Group sites seem smaller (can accommodate fewer individuals) than online info suggests. Group site A, e.g., could seat max 50 people, accommodate ~10 cars/RVs, but only saw 1-2 good tent sites.

Area is beautiful. Two hiking trails from the end of the road (about 1.5 miles from CG), leading up through aspen forest, ponderosa pines, then tundra to peaks of the High Schells Wilderness area. ATV trail paralleling mountain range about .5 miles before you get to CG. Good hiking in neighboring drainage (Berry Creek) as well.
