Timon Campground
Reviewed Jun. 26, 2019

Primitive but near popular tourist stop

Spearfish highway scenic drive goes right by the forest road to this campground. There is a big tourist stop and the turn-off. Once you get past that the road turns to gravel and the beauty continues. 

Timon campground is small. One loop with 7 sites. About half were filled up when we came here. A clean vault toilet and interesting water pump provide the necessities. 

There is a historic marker that leads you to a Flume site. Just down the road is a trailhead for a hiking trail. ATV roads are here too.

We did see a lot of traffic. People driving to look at the Dances With Wolves film site as well as visitors to the Roughneck Rapids. This is a nice place to visit.
