Loved camping at Tipsaw Lake. Spot was secluded. Enjoyed the sounds of nature. Campground hosts were friendly and informative. Facilities were clean and up to date. Can’t wait for the lake to fill back up. Have plans to visit again.

Wonderful experience. Campground hosts were the absolute best. The sites were shady, private, and kept very nice. The bathrooms were also exceptionally clean. Looking forward staying here again, especially when they get all of the improvements they are working on completed and their boat ramp is back in order.

We loved this park and lake and we were very impressed with the campground and the amenities with our site! We will definitely go back again, but don’t call and ask for the address from the campground attendant like we did or you’ll end up in the middle of someone’s cornfield like we did… Use the location from google maps instead.

Nice, spacious sites. Catbrier loop has a vault toilet, but bath houses are in the other two loops.
