A smaller, overlooked lake and campground, but it’s definitely one to go to for families. Clean, newer restrooms and shower rooms at the campground were a nice surprise.

Staff was very rude put our fire out when walked to the shower house. Got in truck looking for a parking tag which we had. The lady screamed numerous times at us and we did not do a thing wrong. Once you have a target on your back these mall cops have nothing better to do then try to find things you did that they don’t like. These hosts need taken out of the parks system very disappointed and will not be returning. Overall though park is very clean and well kept.

Tipsaw is my family's favorite place to camp. The park is just beautiful and very well maintained. We love swimming at the lake.

Well-placed campsite, showers and bathroom were very clean. Only negative was the firewood we bought onsite was wet and moldy.
