Timberlake Campground

Damian Chuck

Hands down, one of the absolute best campgrounds I've ever experienced. The hosts, Dawn and Joe were the most accommodating and nicest folk ever, and made us feel like family. Good clean showers and toilets, and awesome, family friendly atmosphere. The campsites were spacious and well placed, and the pristine, natural beauty of the surrounding Smoky mountains was more than evident everywhere you look. At night, you fall asleep to the sound of the crystal clear river running alongside the property, and even though we originally booked for 2 nights, we ended up staying for a third ... it was that good! We will most definitely be returning repeatedly in the future. Side note* the place and its hosts were nothing like the couple negative reviews previously given, and I honestly believe they must have simply been miserable souls to perceive what they did. As for children activities ... if you can't keep your own kids busy and entertained in the beautiful outdoors, it's your own damn fault ... learn parenting skills.

This place is AMAZING! The staff and owners are down home country living people who have that southern hospitality. They keep the grounds on point. The bathroom and shower facilities were top notch. You can tell they spray for mosquitoes because they were non-existent! Don't be turned off because it is next to a road. That road dead ends up the mountains and the only people who drive it are residents. Its a 9 hour drive for us and we'll deffinately make that trip again!!!

Be aware -The campground owner Hawkeyes your every move. Owner complained about having 2 vehicles at the camp site. Complained about driving 5 mph where sign posted are 3 MPH. Complained about tent being to close to the next site over when it was clearly on our site. Charges kids 5 and old as an adult - extra $5. Counted heads to make sure we paid the correct fee. Complained when our dog barked just a very minor amount (day light hours). Owner walked around with a small liquor bottle in hand. Nice stream and clean site. Unfortunately will not be back due to owner.Visited on 7/29/21. Todd Bice Clemson SC

Very family friendly campground,nice and peaceful with 2 streams bordering both sides! Free bundle of firewood, and a bag of ice are included. Shower houses are a little older,that was the only negative.

Camped here for two weeks and loved it!!! The campground has beautiful views, the sites are spacious, they have water, electric and even though there is no sewer it was easy to get honeywagon and go to dump station. They have two spring fed ponds and do not use any pesticides to take care of the surrounding area. One of the ponds is swimmable both can be fished in, you can eat fish or catch and release. The people that come here are all very nice and many have been coming for over 55 years. They have a playground and very safe large area to play. There was a steady stream of really nice kids and families for my little one to play with while we were there. We loved Dawn and Joe that run the campground and they were always around to chat and answer all sorts of questions. They are so knowledgeable about the mountain ecosystem in which they live and it shows in how well they care for area. This is such a beautiful place and we can't wait to come back!!! Keep up the good work guys I'm sure Betty is looking down on you with gratitude.
