Timber Lake Resort

Golf cart traffic defines the atmosphere at Timber Lake Resort, where seasonal residents and visiting families navigate between full hookup sites and resort amenities. The campground accommodates RVs up to 70 feet on concrete pads, though some sites require careful backing due to steep approach angles. Live music events and a tiki bar create a social environment that extends into evening hours.

The large swimming pool stays open late in the season, while the on-site lake offers fishing when water conditions allow. Staff assistance helps with site setup, and the property includes a store and snack bar for convenience. Campers seeking a quieter experience might consider Hickory Hideaway three miles east.

A family-friendly resort with level concrete sites, clean facilities, and helpful staff. Live music and golf cart activity create a social atmosphere but may be too loud for those seeking quiet camping.

Activities yes, nature-less

We had the campsite right across from the pool and the tiki bar. The site was easy to get into with help from the friendly staff. We were surprised to have a bar right outside our campsite, but with an RV running the fan all night the noise didn't bother us at all. This campground is great if you want to watch football Saturday morning with a bloody Mary in hand, and like kids activities like bingo. There was also a very good CCR cover band playing, so my kid felt like she was at a real rock concert. Pool was kept open late in September because it was warm. Overall we really enjoyed our time there. It's a great place for socializing. If you're looking for peace and quiet and natural beauty, this is not the place. We would go back for Sure- level campsite, friendly staff that let us stay late when we had a flat tire and waiting for tow, and overall experience. Easy full hook ups made it a very fun experience with lots of full timers there.

Live music!

Found this place by snooping around the internet prior to a free weekend. Made a call and had reservations for the next day/weekend. They had live music, loud live music Saturday night. To be fair, the music was made clear on their webpage. We were kind of close and didn’t have to go to the stage area to hear it clearly. It was good music and it was fun. They have a margarita bar as we’ll as a bags tournament. (Corn hole anyone?) The pool is big and clean. There is a little store and a snack bar too. The camp spaces are wacky and strangely placed, but with some buddy sites. The rise angle to our space was almost too much to back in without dragging the bumper. Once in, the concrete pad was level. Lots of seasonal residents and lots of golf carts. Lots of kids driving golf carts all day, and lots of drunks driving golf carts at night especially after the music wound down in the dark, many without lights on. The golf cart stupidly cost a star for this review. There is supposed to be fishing and peddle boat rentals, but it it has rained and the little lake was dark brown and dirty.
