The Forest at Tims Ford

I am honestly not a fan of leaving bad reviews, but I can only count on one hand how many times I have written a bad review, but I felt this is appropriate for a few reasons and primarily a safety concern. My wife and I had a weekend camping trip to this location a few weeks ago. One evening we were in our camper and heard a very loud crash which shook the camper. I knew immediately that it was a tree that had fallen. We immediately went outside where we were accompanied by several other campers to check to see what had happened. Unfortunately, we had a very large limb strike our camper, our truck and also damaged the sites picknick table. Fortunately, we were inside the camper when it occurred and not the picnic table or things could have been much worse. We were told by several other campers that have been staying long term the owners of the campground are aware of several dead trees that need to be removed. The said they did not plan on removing these trees till the off season. When we arrived at our site, we were greeted by one of the campground officials, but we were not informed the site we were on had one of these trees that needed to be removed nearby. One of the campers personally messaged one of the owners to let them know what had happened. That next morning no one came by to check on the situation. We made contact with an employee at the main office where this gentleman took down our information so we could be contacted on how to go about making this right. I have also tried to contact via phone but have not gotten a response. We have been in contact with our insurance and our attorneys at this point to take the next steps to get our property fixed. Just to make everyone aware on their agreement they make you sign in order to stay there it does say they are not responsible for tree damages, I wonder why! However, due to the witnesses' statements and the campground knowing this issue they are negligent which easily could have resulted in someone getting seriously injured or killed. If you know which trees are dead, they should not allow campers to stay on these sites till these trees are removed. This is unfortunate as we really liked this campground and would love to return for future camping trips if this is resolved. I myself own a company and understand the importance of good reviews and customer satisfaction and would be willing to retract this review and give a great review if this is resolved.

Great camp ground! I camped here for a full week in mid June. The campground was maybe half full. It’s super close to Tims Ford - less than a 5 minute drive. We opted here vs the park because they have full hookups. The bathhouse was super nice! The loops are nice and very scenic with lots of grass and trees. My only dislike is that some of the spots are very, very close together. We stayed in a standard spot #4. Neighbors were super close on each side. They do have preferred spots that offer more spacious lots though. Pay attention to the pad length. They are various sizes. Some are really short and would only fit a scamp or tear drop style camper. One great perk is free wifi! It was a very strong connection. We were able to stream tv on multiple devices at the same time. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. It is a very quiet, peaceful camp ground. I’d highly recommend it.

Beautiful and welcoming! And very peaceful. There’s even a walking path down to the lake. We love The Forest!

A wonderful place nice .has good help we will be back clean restrooms all the hooks up you don't need nothing but your camper and relax ..... Pleasant place all the shad you need wow all I ask is to save #64 for me and #65 for my friends when we come next year

I love this campground.
