Timber Camp campground
Timber Camp
The Timber Camp Campground offers a range of amenities for campers, including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. This is a first-come, first-serve campground with 9 campsites available. One interesting fact about the area is that it was once a logging camp, hence the name 'Timber Camp'. The best time to visit is between May and October when the temperatures average between 70°F and 85°F during the day and drop to 40°F to 50°F at night, making it the perfect temperature for camping.
Overall, the Timber Camp Camping Area is an excellent option for those seeking a remote and peaceful camping experience in the Coconino National Forest. Its proximity to the Mogollon Rim and Woods Canyon Lake provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, and its first-come-first-serve policy allows for a more organic and spontaneous camping experience.
