We stayed here for the Halloween weekend. Booked a specific site on campspot.com and paid for the site lock so we could make sure to get the site we wanted, upon arrival we were told that the site we wanted was a monthly site and that they couldn't put us there, but they put us in a large FHU site within walking distance of the showers. The campground was having their end of the season Halloween party, kids were running around trick or treating as we were setting up. There was a band in the clubhouse and the campground was nicely decorated for the season. The site wasn't perfectly level but we were able to level the camper just fine, I think a lot of the reviews are people who don't know how to level a trailer. You're not going to find perfectly level sites everywhere, that's what leveling blocks are for. They do a good job of creating parking pads that are decently level, some were gravel, some were grass, some were concrete. Some of the sites had fire rings some didn't. The showers are kind of small and the water takes a long time to warm up, but is decently warm once it does and there's no smell. The shower stalls need hooks to hang up clothes and towels, I had to hang everything over the partition and risk someone taking my stuff. A bench to sit on and dry feet would be nice as it is difficult to put on shoes if you're not wearing sandals. The sink was clogged and full of bugs. The toilet worked fine. The pond was scummy and needed a fountain to help with aeration. Overall, we had a nice time, the staff was nice, and we would definitely come back.

This campground has a lot of problems. Paid approximatly $60 for our water/electric site and the site was EXTREMELY uneven. There was no picnic table or designated fire area. One other camper came to camp at the site next to us and saw how uneven it was and left. Also site is not paved or even have gravel and everything is hard to find since almost nothing is well marked. The pool and pool area was not very nice looking, but seems pretty clean. Their were lots of no smoking signs in the pool area, but still several people smoking and drinking alcohol around kids and others. The mini-golf is free and for good reason. It is essentially unplayable because it is in such disrepair. One upside was the employees seemed nice and the patrons were friendly. The pond is hard to fish at if you are trying to fish from the shore and not a boat.

While there I was able to get to work, enjoy some beautiful storms, and find myself at ease. Thank you for taking care of me, and letting me fall into the pool. I grew while enjoying the woods. Bought a new truck, and built my goals up into something new. See ya on the next one 🤙🏼🫡🤘🏼🖤💲

I stayed in a primitive campsite that was right by the water for one night as I passed thru Illinois. This was an unexpected delight just off the interstate. Clean and updated restrooms. Walking around, the sites for RVs seemed nicely spaced and level. There are also cute cabins available as well. The staff was friendly and helped with getting firewood and navigating to my site. Worth a stop if you are passing through.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS Pictures on website are catfished! I looked around the whole site trying to find where they took these pictures!! False advertisement This place is very run down, a group of us went over Memorial Day weekend because it was the only place left open to book and it is VERY CLEAR why. Let’s start with the bathrooms, I understand majority of campers are in actual campers so they have water hook up to use bathroom. There were 2 working women’s toilets throughout the ENTIRE site. The other bathrooms were locked from use. Every night the bathrooms got vandalized and toilet paper was shoved in them. We saw ZERO staff on site. Every activity or amenity that was offered was broken or closed. Pond- filthy, litter everywhere. Pool- closed because it was too cold although it was 75 degrees Mini putt- looks like it has been abandoned for 10 years see pictures below. Closed Basketball- both of the backboards had huge holes in them and shatters so every time you shot the ball it would go through. Bathrooms- 2 working women’s toilets, 1 men toilet. Vandalized dirty. Soap dispensers in women’s broken, hand dryers broken, no paper towels. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. DO NOT GO. We made the best of it because WE HAD TO. The best time was spent at the site with our friends. Wish we captured photos of everything. AVOID PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!! Not sure how their reviews are the way they are!! Look on yelp tho.

1st time visiting this campground and won't be the last. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I rented a cabin and requested a fire pit over the phone. 5 minutes into unpacking a staff member showed up and put a fire pit down for me. He also noticed a bunch of thorn bushes near cabin and removed them. The pond was fun to fish, the bathrooms were clean and easily accessible, and the cabin itself was clean and comfortable. I have no complaints and will be returning again. Thanks for the hospitality, Timberline.

Timberline Campground was a great spot for a weekend getaway. The sites were clean and well-kept, and it was nice having full hookups available. The kids loved the pool, the playground, and the wagon rides with the campground mascots, and we all had a good time fishing at the pond. It was really convenient having a little store and snack bar on-site too. Bathrooms and showers were clean, and there were plenty of activities like basketball, volleyball, and pedal carts to keep everyone busy. Overall, a fun, family-friendly campground that's also close enough to Peoria and Bloomington if you want to explore the area. We'll definitely be back.

Excited for the new ownership and management and all the changes that will be made to this campground to better accommodate the family experience! Beautiful campground, love the different themed cabins they have for rent. Great pond for fishing, golf cart rentals and pool with updated bathrooms. Looking forward to the all the future updates!

Yes, great people very nice. Did some work for him very nice and we got the job done and I am going to repair them with five stars. If I can give them more I will the place is nice for people to go camping at a reasonable price and you can you enjoy yourself out there if you have if you have a RV then you can take your RV out there and go camping got Big out fishing pond everything I recommend them high

This was our first campground stay outside of our home state of NJ. We arrived on a Monday evening and the office was already closed. We were able to quickly contact staff to get ourselves setup in our site. The site itself had a slight downslope toward the rear but easy enough for our coach to level. All utilities were located at the drivers side rear of the site which was perfect. The roads are in decent condition and it looks like they’re adding a few more rows of sites and the grounds seem pretty well kept. The lake is pretty and the whole place is surrounded by farmland otherwise. The staff that I’ve had the chance to meet have been great and responded quickly to any of our questions or needs. Unfortunately, in the off-season, the store and office are closed but they are always around to fill propane if needed. There are quite a few full timers here and everyone we had the pleasure of meeting was very friendly. We had no issues. Yes you will hear staff running equipment here and there to keep the campground running and you’ll hear the occasional quad, motorcycle or dirt bike but it’s nothing unreasonable unless you’re stuck up about those kinds of things. It’s been very quiet here at night as well. I wish we could’ve stayed here the whole month but it gets cold fast around here and the wind never seems to let up. Don’t leave your awning out! Can’t wait to come back when it’s warm!

If you are looking for a place for a single night, keep looking! Don't stay here. We asked for RV sites with water/electric. The not quite competent staff gave us tent sites in the middle of a field. On the plus side, we were the only ones in the field, it was very peaceful. The office closed early at 6pm, so we couldn't ask for different sites. We spent 30 minutes trying to get near level. This was exactly the experience we didn't want after driving all day. If you are only looking for a place for the night this is not the place for you; keep driving.

Learn to take accountability for your horrible employee
