Beautiful State Park
The main campground is very nice. There are a lot of shaded, private spots, but some of the sites are a little close together. Some of them aren’t very level, so just keep that in mind!
The bathrooms are very clean, bright and heated in the winter. One of the bath houses has separate showers that are completely private.
There are many traditional hiking trails throughout the park, but there’s also paved paths circling around the campground as well.
The gift shop and visitors center was large and had a lot of useful things for sale, as well as kids toys and books. Our daughter really enjoyed it. The playgrounds are also very well maintained.

Tims Ford Main Campground
We stayed the final weekend open for the season and it was a fantastic stay. There are paved paths for miles right there off the campsites. There are other trails as well not paved with but more tugged/traditional trails with bridges and cottonmouths lol be careful. The sites are close enough to the water for bank fishing. The bathrooms were great too. Clean when we arrived and convenient to our site #44, we were right across from them. These were a private bathroom shower situation in each door. The other shower house had men and women bathrooms and private showers separately. We visited the gift shop and information center, the people working there are helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend. We stayed just in time before the temps dropped from 80 degrees one day the day we left dropped to 45 during the day.

Beautiful
We stayed at the main campground it was so pretty, lots of trees, quiet, good walking trails. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was the bathrooms, they never got cleaned all weekend, no toilet paper, the same clogged toilets all weekend, but even with that we will go back.
