Timber Creek Campground in Rocky Mountain National Park to Close August 10, 2026 For Sewer System Rehabilitation Project

Timber Creek Campground, located on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park, will close at noon on Aug. 10, 2026, and remain closed through the end of the 2026 summer season, for a sewer system rehabilitation project. The campground will open for the season in mid-May, and the last night for visitors to camp at Timber Creek campground will be Aug. 9.

This closure is necessary to begin a major construction project to rehabilitate the campground’s aging sewer system. The project will replace damaged and deteriorating sewer manholes, perform spot repairs on broken pipes and rehabilitate existing pipes in place using pipe lining technology.

These improvements are essential to maintain safe and reliable infrastructure for future visitors. The campground is expected to reopen for the 2027 summer season.

Visitors planning camping trips to the west side of the park should plan for alternative arrangements after Aug. 9. There are additional camping opportunities located in communities outside of the park. Aspenglen, Glacier Basin and Moraine Park Campgrounds, located on the east side of the park will remain open.

Reservations for park campgrounds can be made up to six months in advance at www.recreation.gov
