About this campground
Nestled on the eastern shores of Big Hill Lake, Timber Hill Park offers an intimate camping experience with 20 non-electric sites tucked beneath a canopy of ancient oak trees. This hidden gem provides the perfect blend of lakeside tranquility and woodland charm, where campers can launch their boats at nearby ramps or explore miles of scenic horse trails that wind through the surrounding forest. The absence of electrical hookups preserves the authentic outdoor experience, allowing the sounds of rustling leaves and lapping water to take center stage.
Timber Hill Park offers standard nonelectric campsites suitable for tent and primitive camping. It is not designed for RV camping and does not appear to support group camping or cabins.
Weather and SeasonsEach season paints Timber Hill Park with its own distinct palette. Spring arrives with gentle breezes and comfortable humidity, making it ideal for those first camping adventures of the year. Summer brings warm days perfect for lake activities, while the oak canopy provides natural air conditioning. Fall transforms the campground into a golden retreat with crisp air and stunning foliage. Winter visitors should come prepared for cold temperatures and occasional snow, which transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland for the hardy souls who brave the chill.
ElevationPerched atop a gentle hill, the campground offers a commanding position above Big Hill Lake. This elevated setting not only provides excellent drainage during rainy weather but also creates a natural amphitheater of oak trees that seems to embrace each campsite. The hilltop location catches cooling breezes in summer and offers slightly warmer temperatures on crisp fall mornings.
Natural Features and SceneryThe majestic oak forest that crowns this hilltop creates a natural cathedral of twisted branches and dappled sunlight. From various vantage points throughout the campground, glimpses of Big Hill Lake sparkle through the trees, while the surrounding woodlands stretch as far as the eye can see. The interplay of water, forest, and sky creates an ever-changing canvas that photographers and nature lovers find irresistible.
Geological RegionRising above the waters of Big Hill Lake, this hilltop sanctuary showcases the natural topography of the region. The elevated terrain, crowned with mature oak forests, represents the classic hill country that gives Big Hill Lake its name. The solid ground beneath the oaks has supported these ancient trees for generations, creating a stable, well-drained camping environment that remains comfortable even after seasonal rains.
