The park was clean and well kept. We appreciated the lush green grass and trees. All sites seemed able to accomodate larger campers. The sites also had good sized fire pits. The bathroom facilities were clean, however the facilities were older and there was not a lot of air flow through the buildings so they were hot and stuffy. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We were nervous about reading reviews of how close the campsites were at this park, but it really wasn't that bad at all. There are LOTS of trees in this huge campground (65 acres), so we had to do some maneuvering to get into our spot around a couple of them, but once we were hooked up, we were pretty happy. Friendly park - lots of Des Moiners and other locals like this park. Didn't see any full timers, but there were some folks camping for a month or two while they we were working nearby. Extremely well maintained park with friendly people. VERY quiet at night - no highway noise even though this park is easily accessible to I-80, you would think you were miles away. This park is in the country, surrounded by beautiful acreage homes, many of them high dollar horse farms. We came for the cycling on the Raccoon River Valley Trail - which is a beautiful trail. We were only a short 10 minute drive to the trail head and only a short drive to a modern, new Dahl's grocery store, etc. There's a nice public golf course nearby also. The weekends can get pretty cramped with tent campers and pop tops in the grassy areas. One of the draws is a well maintained stainless steel, inground swimming pool. Office has a small store with milk, eggs, RV items, etc. We really enjoyed our time at this park - ALL of the people who worked there and camped there during our visit were nice and friendly. My only minor complaint was the skeet shooting range that is on the acreage adjoining campground - they started in at 9am Sunday morning and didn't finish until 4pm. There was a championship on the 4th of July, so they tell me it was busier and nosier than normal. We never heard another peep the rest of the week while we were there. We'll camp at Timberline again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nicely maintained, beautiful campground. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the basketball hoop, but we never did get around to going down to the rec hall. Campgound staff was super-nice and helpful. Best part - 10 minutes away from major shopping area. That may not be important to some folks, but it is when you forget your three-year-old's swim diapers at home. However, sites were very close. We did not use our awning because of this. Some of the sites were absolutely tiny, and we were informed that they were used only when there was overflow. Also, not every site had its own fire pit, we lucked out and were camped next to a teeny site that did have one and the staff said we could just use that one. Sites were gravel, but lots of grassy areas around otherwise. In addition, the fee we paid did not include extra people. So...the $33 paid for the husband and I, but not for our eight- and six-year-old (three-year-old was free). We paid $2/night per kid, and it was the same with my parents, who came up to spend the night. Got to be a pretty pricey stay, actually. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very attractive and well-maintained campground convenient to Living History Farm and Madison County. The owners are friendly and helpful. We were travelling with another couple and appreciated the facing sites. Even though it is convenient to the metropolitan area, it is very quiet and peaceful. There are walking trails. The website is very good and helpful. I really liked this site, and highly recommend it if you are visiting the DesMoines area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice stop over, far enough off interstate for peace and quiet. We camped here in a camper.
