Part of the Taylor County Conservation Board's recreational offerings, Sands Timber Rec Area operates as a basic campground with electric hookups and lake access. Sites sit close together with 30-amp service only, and the facility lacks a dump station. The single-lane access road could present challenges for RVs during wet conditions.
The campground provides drinking water, restrooms, and allows campfires and pets. Campers can access the adjacent lake, though one reviewer noted the tight spacing between sites. At $15 per night, the facility offers budget-friendly camping for those prioritizing affordability over privacy. Cell service reaches the area, and alcohol is permitted on-site.
