"This is a KOA journey, meaning it’s great for a stopover, and it is located next to a horse farm. If you are used to smelling farm life, then the smell won’t be a problem."
TravelerTerrible spot, def don’t come here during the summer! It’s not pretty at all on the creek or all the different spots deeper into the forest. There’s 0 room and it’s not beautiful at all when it’s sunny & gorgeous out. (Kidding, this place is a gem)
GuideWe're the type of travelers who intentionally seek out underrated places/hidden gems and lesser-visited spots, even in tourist hotspots. That's exactly why we loved Timber Creek CG. It's on the (much) quieter west end, near Grand Lake and a good distance from all of RMNP's most popular sites. In our opinion, that makes for a much nicer, more tranquil camping experience - and evidently the elk agree, because this campground is a hub of elk activity! The video I attached is from the campground just after sunrise, and we saw and heard tons of other elk as well. If you drive this end of Trail Ridge Road at dusk or dawn, you'll see loads of them too (stop and walk around and bit at some of the viewpoints/pullouts). They're supposed to be great for moose, too, but we personally didn't see any.
We stayed one night each in sites 50 and 17, and both were great. Facilities are basic but clean and sufficient, and fairly close to every site. This is a very popular national park, so while you won't have any real privacy, we did feel like the sites were positioned thoughtfully, so that everyone sort of faces a slightly different way. Highly recommend!

TravelerI would’ve given 5 stars but there are no showers. Otherwise, perfect!
ScoutWe got to the place where the pin is and there was nothing, right there we lost service and started to be a little worried because it was getting dark, drove a little more up in the same road and found a spot right next to a trail, it was clear someone camped there because there was a fire pit, it was very cold but the night was beautiful.
ScoutMy friends and I love this campground! Numerous ponds, stocked ponds, trails, biking, birds, paddle boarding. The view of the mountains is to die for!
TravelerAlways nice being next to the river as of beginning of May there’s no bugs as of yet but still cold Nights. They did they switch of camp hosts and the folks that were there with the bus were absolutely amazing. The new guy seems very straight forward to business. Got here and he pulled up and asked “your only staying one night” “ did you pay yet” not In a friendly manner. Otherwise still a great site bathrooms are always well maintained.
TravelerClearly states on website and phone that there’s no tent camping so idk why it says that on here but it’s wrong, very frustrating. Please change it
TravelerThis was our first time dispersed camping and we loved it! The road was pretty mild but on up gets a lot more rough! The pull offs are great and most of them have fire rings.
