April 2009
Timberlake was a real treat for us, especially being so far away from home. The campground is located 50 miles east of Portland. This a fantastic campground for either tent or RV camping. I checked out several of the tent sites and thought how awesome it would be if I could convince some of my tent camping friends to drive all of this way to camp with us. The RV sites offer some with full hook-ups and others with electricity and water and there is also a central dump station in the campground. The campground allows dogs and even has a specific dog area in the campground. There is also a hall that can be rented for group activities and a great playground for the kids. And being the diligent critic that I am, I even checked out the bathrooms. Showers and bathrooms were exceptionally clean, I don't even think my own bathroom is as clean as these were. In fact, the entire campground was super clean and just really enjoyable. We enjoyed Timberlake a great deal because we had the luxury of hook-ups but also had the trees and mountains and fresh air. If you enjoy walking, the lay out of the campground is nice for walking or running if you are brave. But it is very steep. Our spot was at the top of the hill the walking and running through the campsite was an added challenge for anyone trying to keep up on their exercise. But don't misunderstand, it was also no problem for the kids or elderly to walk around. I just got an extra workout on my morning runs.
We enjoyed the Columbia Gorge and the Bonneville Dam while here. Just a note that some of the photos may look like the sites are close together, but I felt the sites were spacious and we had plenty of privacy. We also happened to be here for rally so we knew all of our neighbors.
Again, worth mentioning, Leroy the owner is very hospitable. He has put together a great campground here and I only wished we lived closer so we could camp here more often. But we will be back for sure.
