Beautiful group camping sites. Facilities were super clean and the folks were extremely nice. On the day that was the hottest we've had all year, and they road by and offered popcicles. Great fishing on the lake as well.

We try to camp at Tip 2-3 times a season. The place is always clean and the staff friendly. We will continue to return to this area every year.

Campsite and campground are beautiful. Hosts were friendly and helpful. The only downside is the high cost of firewood.
