Timber Point Wetland

Small park with only 3 campsites. It has a hiking trail and a pond to do some fishing. Stayed for two days and would come back. Be wary though that there is limited availability

I loved this area. My favorite campgrounds are the ones that are a little out of the way on unpaved roads in the middle of nowhere :-) there was a pretty lake, a bathroom, a dumpster, and a map of the hikes. All pluses! It was super windy though. It died down eventually and we were still able to have a fire. The stars were spectacular! There’s some black cows nearby that kind of stare at you with no emotion.

No people really, just a bunch of cows you pass as you drive down the gravelly/sandy roads to get to it. No mosquitoes, but bullfrogs aplenty throughout the night. Only one other campsite was up at one of the drive-in locations that surround the lake. We went for the location with good trees that we found for hammocks right near the water (.. and bullfrogs.) The vault toilet was closed due to COVID19. Nice quiet area with lots of fireflies, seemed well maintained.

This free camping area is low on amenities, but os well kept and close to the Oak Creek Trail which extends from Valparaiso to Brainard Nebraska.

The Lake is lovely with such good trails it is often used as a cross-country race site. This NRD lake has 3 gravel slabs close to a vault toilet and water hydrant. It is just up the hill from the boat ramp.
