The place is known for its strong sense of community and spirit of adventure. Timberline provides an attractive mix of recreation, learning and relaxation.
At Timberline Ranch, campers can enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities, from horseback riding and archery to ziplines, climbing walls and challenge courses. More than that, families can meet friendly farm animals at the petting zoo, cool off in the heated swimming pool, or take a covered wagon ride across the property. In addition to these fun activities, the newly opened Skywalk Adventure Park features a high ropes course, “Drop Zone” and 400-foot double ziplines.
Timberline Ranch definitely has an “Old West” feel to it. The buildings are in an old-fashioned style, some even with false fronts and wooden boardwalks, just like what you might expect on a movie set.
