Site was clean and great view of the stars from the tent on a clear night. Pit toilets with hand sanitizer inside, and water outside. Bathrooms do not have any lights, so bring your own headlamp/flashlight if going when dark. I came in late and left early on a motorcycle, so I had to go through/around some cones at the entrance as the park had been closed to non-campers at that point already. Another quality NPS site for me.

Why do you need to pay $8 for a reservation? Another charge for electricity? Women working that day was rude, she basically interrogated us when we got to our site. I booked online but she needed to look through my stuff. Poor customer service.

Private camping spots and convenient bathroom access. Gorgeous trees and scenery. We were only there for a night on our way to the Great Smoky Mountains, but it was a welcome stop!!

The campground is spotless and the hosts are super friendly! We loved this quiet spot for our family reunion and plan to reserve again next year. We were camped in the CatB area and everything was perfect!!

We enjoyed our stay at Tipsaw Jackpine Loop.
The only issues were that the trailer pad for the camp site was considerably unlevel from front to back and there was very little room next to the trailer for anything.
We were able to level the trailer, but we were at maximum extension on the trailer jack, even with wood blocks to help.
There was a picnic table area at the campsite, so we were able to enjoy our stay although not an optimal setup.
All in all, it was a good experience.

The campground spots were spacious and we didn't have any probles with leveling. The asphalt pads were a welcome sight from other places we have camped.
