Catbrier 1 RV site needs tree trimming as do a lot of other sites. Could not extend awning because of tree branches. Branches also hit top of RV. Other sites in the Catbrier loop have branches in the way of RVs. I brought issue to host ( a very nice person ) and was told that they could not trim trees because it's a national forest. If thats the case then eventually Tipsaw Recreation Area won't have any useable RV camp sites. Sites in Catbrier loop hard to determine where each site is. Won't be back.

Campsites are always clean and tidy. The surrounding woods are full of trails and splendor all the way down to the lake. Very beautiful place to camp!

This was a very clean park and great set up. Lots of space between campsites and the employees were very friendly.

We had a wonderful time camping! The campsite was great! There are some amazing trails nearby. We highly recommend checking out Hemlock Cliffs.
