SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Dispersed camping along the Skunk River, Brinton Timbers Park sits on county-managed land outside Brighton with a handful of drive-in sites near the main entrance. The park is free. Reaching the river itself requires hiking or biking in from the camping area, and trails also accommodate horses. On-site amenities include fire rings, picnic tables, and a composting toilet with no sinks or showers. Nearby McKain's River Access provides another option for paddlers working this stretch of water.

Great park no showers though

I stayed at the main site that google maps took me to. Three spots but the park is big there might be more sites around it. It is near skunk river I only stayed there for a night but where I was to get to the river you have to hike or bike to it. I’ve heard you can ride horses here. They have fire rings, picnic tables, and a bathroom that’s deep and composting. No sinks or showers. Bugs were wild at night but it is summer. No one disturbed us and it was free the best park of it all. Hoping to make it back there to go through the trails. I believe you can hike and camp too in the area.

Sitenot sure
