Timberlake accepts reservations for only 13 of the 108 short-term sites. Since we were heading into spring vacation week, we decided to arrive on a Thursday. We were glad we did, for there were only a few sites left, but we got one of the better ones with a view of the water - site N108. Date of visit: Mar 2011 |
