Timberline Campground in Goodfield Illinois is a former Jellystone Park Property and is primarily used as a seasonal campground (people leave their RVs on permanent site). The campground also has short-term RV and tent camping sites including long pull thrus and back-ins on packed gravel. The majority of the seasonal guests have golf carts for getting around so you can expect to see a large volume of golf carts kicking up dust in the area. Timberline Campground does have a fun vibe with a family-friendly atmosphere but the park did maintain the Jellystone pricing structure charging additional fees beyond the nightly rate to use amenities like the bounce pillow, mini golf, and trikes. The park does have two playgrounds open without a pass and a pool also available to guests.
Timberline Campground is set on a large property surrounded by trees with a number of the sites under or near shade trees. Families and groups enjoy the property for get togethers. Goodfield as a small rural town home to an agricultural manufacturing plant that produces tractor equipment (Case). Cyclists who enjoy road-riding will find miles of quiet Country Roads meandering through farm fields. The park is a mile and a half off the interstate and is accessible to most any sized RV.
There is a small scenic fishing lake that forms a perfect backdrop for tent campers who can set up near the shores. In addition there is a short dirt trail for walking in between the two main camping areas.

Forbes Lake, Illinois
This is a first time drone video of a state park in Illinois. It was filmed with a DJI Phantom 3 Pro quad copter in 4K video. The music was composed on a Lambdoma keyboard, which was processed in Live 9. This video is the result of practicing production skills for creative audio visual presentations.
The video elements I was working on were elevation changes, focal points, and dynamic perspective shots. I was also looking for fluidity while maintaining interest. There was too much blah time in the middle of the video, which is something I will be working to correct in future videos.
The music score was played on a Lambdoma keyboard directly to the video. I still need improvement and more practice before I can produce truly fluid music, but I thought my first attempt was acceptable.

Rock Cut State Park, IL from Matt S.

Matt S.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Rock Cut State Park campground is huge!
Of all of the campgrounds that I have visited in Illinois, I would say that Rock Cut State Park is the best that I have seen. It boasts as being the largest State Park in Northern Illinois. It has a large lake with almost 40 miles of hiking trails, including equestrian trails and an equestrian campground. There is boating and fishing as well as swimming in the lake.
The campground staff is very helpful and do a good job at keeping it clean and well maintained even with the large number of visitors. Don't miss my interview with Marsha, one of the friendly staff members at Rock Cut State Park.
