We RV'd over the July 4th holiday (site #371). The repair man, Dee helped Tom back the RV into the space so he could clear the trees, The staff are experts in RVing and Scott (owner) helped us with our electric and battery problems. The park has a large pool and we played some games there. There's also a lake where you can rent canoes and kayaks. Out lab enjoyed the dig beach and was able to swim in the lake. Not to happy people were allowed to fish in the dog area - worried about hooks, The RV's are nicely decorated and make for a relaxing walk at night!
Need supplies? There's a new Walmart and Acme food store within 15 minutes. Toured Tuckerton Seaport and that was pretty cool.
Showers are small but clean and free. They have laundry, too. Looking forward to returning!

Room tip: .Rent a cable box for $50. Keys are $10 you get your money back when you return the items!

We are a pet friendly resort. We even have a dog swimming beach. We are sorry that we can not allow pets in our 5 cabins. If you bring your own RV or tent, you are welcome to bring your pet as well.

Stayed here for a weekend. The site was very nice, had utilities . The other fellow camper were very friendly and everyone in the entire campground was pleasant. If you're looking for a premier campground, with all the amenities, this isn't your place. But if you're looking for a more rustic camping experience, this place is great. Just remember to bring some bug spray..

Park was clean. Bathrooms were very clean! Our dogs had plenty of space to roam. The downside? No wi-fi at our site was a big disappointment. And $38 is a bit high. New owner was very nice and welcoming. Would stop again for another one night, but not long term.

I believe you have the wrong campground. We do not have new owners nor do we have a site for $38. We have wifi throughout the park. We are located in New Gretna. There are several campground with similar names. You probably stayed at Timberland Lake in Jackson.

Spent many long weekends here as a tent camper over 6 years, being in close proximity to Philadelphia. Timberline lake serves as a seasonal resort, but also a small trailer park. The staff have always been friendly & have done their best in my experience to be accommodating. The seasonal and full time residents are friendly and helpful as well. Check their website for the weekend activity lineup. We've enjoyed their movie nights on the beach and when they host beach parties with the "party time djs." There's a shop and small game room with a bad pinball machine but legit air hockey table. There are some new swings at the playground. The main bathroom isn't the cleanest but certainly isn't gross, either. I find it sub par for a campground.

The lake is my biggest draw if you're an avid swimmer and want to get some uninterrupted laps in. The cedar water is always warm and it's never crowded in the deeper area. The beach is kept up. You can rent canoes for $5 per 30 min, but there aren't many places to row to. Still nice though! It's also a pleasant walk around the lakes where you can spot carnivorous plants, frogs and turtles; perhaps even pick wild blueberries. There's usually a nice breeze across the dikes and the sunsets are swell too. Never had a problem with bugs or wildlife, but have occasionally spotted wolf spiders on our tent, once saw a bushy tailed fox, and even a daddy long leg feasting on a tiny dead garter snake! You are in nature. Check for ticks.

Most of the spacious pop-up/tent sites are among pine trees surrounding an open field. It's not too wooded, so your site is likely to receive a lot of light AM to PM. However, less wooded also means slightly less privacy, but they're spaced out enough that I haven't found it to be a problem. These sites sit closer to the somewhat busy road (at least in the summer) so if you're able, reserve a site that's behind the field, towards the walking path.

There are also some lake front sites, but I haven't stayed there. They look nice and you're less likely to hear traffic from the road, however you're closer to the RV/trailer sites, so you might hear music and people during the day into night till quiet hour. I'm just speculating, though. I haven't found any of my stays to be too noisy. Avoid the site next to the office as its by the vehicle entrance and is along the road.

The only drawbacks I can find are some of the seasonal/permanent residents don't care for their sites very well; some are even borderline junky. It doesn't set a good precedent and makes it less like a campground resort, imo. The tent sites could also use a raking a bit more frequently. I make sure to bring my own to clear fallen sticks and gathered leaves in order to level out the sand. Overall, I think the resort aspect of it could use a bit more easy landscaping/flowers planted in the summertime to brighten things up quite nicely. It has potential to look so great, rather than just simple. It would also be SO nice if they offered free coffee or better coffee for a small fee in the camp store, as many campgrounds do. There is $1 coffee that you wouldn't know unless you ask, but it's made to order in a single cup keurig like machine and they always use too much water. So you wait 5 minutes for a cup of coffee flavored water. It's so bad, and there's no place nearby for coffee, but the ladies who make it are so nice you don't want to tell them it's bad!

Overall, this is my go to for tent camping. It may not be for everyone, but I love it.
