Timber Creek Campground (recgovnpsdata)

For my purposes this campground was almost perfect. The sites are generally quite large. There are shady and sunny sites, trail access right from the campground, water and two vault toilets. Sites have grill, fire pit, and table.nIt's 2.5 miles to the closest store .They have ice, cold drinks, some groceries and camp goods.nThis is a central location for exploring the area. It is about 300 yards North off 10.nAs with most things, there are trade offs. There is alot of weekend traffic noise at most of the sites. The trails get misused by dirt bikes, which are prohibited, but my first weekend over 50 guys (yes, I started counting) rode through the campground. Not the fault of the campground but it can be an issue.nThere is a small creek with two bridges in the campground. Well...there was a huge storm. Hail, lightning, torrential rain. The creek went up about 6 feet! Water came within 4 feet of my tent, and both bridges were under water. Why do my vacations always become adventures?nBecause the Forest Service comes through almost daily, by the time the water was down, graders and gravel trucks were there fixing the roads. I have to love those folks,you just can't ask for more.nSo for peace and quiet, this is not the place. However you might camp here to find your perfect place due to it's central location.nBeing an antique, this works great as a base camp for me.

A very nice rustic Forest Service Campground. One of the nicest on the Baldwin ranger district.
