What campers say
Dead Timber State Recreation Area is a small, quiet campground tucked away and generally favored for peaceful, primitive camping, walking trails and wildlife viewing. Sites are kept mowed and many visitors praise friendly camp hosts and visible post-flood improvements, but infrastructure is limited: expect primitive vault toilets, no dump station or 50-amp service, and few hookups — some reported electric outlets not active. Fishing can be hit-or-miss. Maintenance and cleanliness of restrooms and trash pickup have been inconsistent at times, and occasional noise or fireworks have been noted. Best for those seeking a low-key, rustic stay.
