Located in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Timber Creek Campground is the only campground on the west side of the park. Located at 8900 feet 3000 m along the Colorado River about eight miles north of the Grand Lake entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. A mountain pine beetle infestation caused most of the trees to be removed, so there is no shade at campsites. There is also a limit on vehicle length of no longer then 30ft allowed in Timber Creek Campground.

Rocky Mountain National Park has 355 miles of hiking trails that range from flat lakeside strolls to steep mountain peak climbs. Visitors enjoy the park's various lake trails Bear Lake, Cub Lake, Mills Lake, waterfall trails Adams Falls, Alberta Falls, Ouzel Falls and summit trails Deer Mountain, Twin Sisters Peaks, Flattop Mountain.

The park also offers some unforgettable scenic driving routes, including Trail Ridge Road and Old Fall River Road. Trail Ridge Road reaches 12,183' above sea level and is America's highest continuous highway. It climbs above the park's evergreen forests to its windswept alpine tundra, where visitors enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.

Driving along the historic Old Fall River Road is like motoring through an earlier era. Constructed in 1920, this steep, one-way, uphill, gravel road punctuated by switchbacks quietly leads travelers from Horseshoe Park through the park's wilderness to Fall River Pass, 11,796' above sea level.

Several visitor centers are within the park, offering ranger-led activities, education and history about the park, and seasonal nighttime programs.

Timber Creek Camgpround contains single family tent-only sites, walk-to sites, and RV sites 30ft or less without hookups. There is no group camping at Rimber Creek Campground.
