Timber Creek Campground, Campground in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Timber Creek Campground sits at 8,900 feet elevation on the western side of Rocky Mountain National Park, featuring tent sites and RV spaces without hookups.
The campground area underwent changes following the mountain pine beetle epidemic of the early 2000s, which transformed the surrounding forest landscape.
The location serves as a gateway to numerous hiking trails where visitors observe local wildlife including elk, moose, and various bird species.
Reservations for the campground open six months in advance through recreation.gov, with a maximum stay limit of seven nights during peak season.
Each camping spot includes bear-proof food storage lockers and access to the Colorado River, which flows near the western edge of the grounds.
