Weekend Trip to Timberline Ridge

We had a great weekend at Timberline Ridge! The weekend did start off with a power issue but just a few moments after I sent a message the owners were out to rectify the issue. Couldn't have asked for a better response. The site is absolutely beautiful overlooking the lake. Would recommend for a nice relaxing weekend!

Very peaceful. They provide wood for that campfire which was extremely helpful as our stove was dead in the RV, so we had to use it for cooking. Wonderful place to camp. Met the owner and she mentioned they do several events for veterans groups including the coming weekend. As a former Marine it was great to hear.

Super private. I was the only one there. The gravel bad was nice and level. We took the path to the right of the Y and walked to the big pond and kept going all the way to the back little pond. Sorry if we weren’t supposed to go that far. We saw deer and rabbit tracks on the snow. It was so quiet and had a pretty view. The dogs enjoyed running around and getting in all the wild smells. - text the hosts to let them know when I was arriving and to reach out if I needed anything. - direction to property are straight forward Apple Maps took me straight there. - parking was a breeze. - I used 30 amp and for some reason I tripped a breaker. Not sure what happened there but everything was fine. - cell service for me was fine. (att) - environment was quiet. You are next to a road but traffic was light. You could hear the woodpecker and other birds doing their thing. Sky was crystal clear. You could see every star in the sky.

Weekend Trip to Crystal’s Campground

It was a safe place to stay, and the bathrooms had a heater in them which was nice given how cold it was. There was no hand soap or toilet paper, so prepare accordingly. The website and listing doesn’t make it exactly clear but this is largely an open concept RV park, limited wildlife, with several long term residents. It is right next door to a pipeline plant that has very bright lights on all night long. It isn’t the most peaceful location because of that, and isn’t where I’d recommend going to for a getaway retreat. But it is safe and has some nice amenities. Worked out good for a place to sleep on a long roadtrip. Also just as an fyi for the potable water, there is a hookup setup for water if you have an RV. If you do not have an RV though, you will need to use the bathroom sink. We boiled it and it was fine.

Meghan does mention a steep incline down the driveway does get a little gnarly, especially with all the big trees to maneuver around, stay on your right side of the road when it splits avoid hitting the big tree when starting to turn left down a sharp curve.

Camping at the farm was a truly cozy and welcoming experience. The site was easy to locate and simple to pull into, making arrival a breeze. Conveniently situated near the bathrooms and showers—which were impressively clean and well-maintained. The animals were very friendly, adding to the peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed the hiking trails, which were clearly marked and offered a great way to explore the property. The hosts were inviting. We'd be thrilled to return for another stay.
