Dogwood 34 is a great spot with a few caveats. The spur has a slight incline before leveling off so backing into the spot is a little "blind" for your back up camera until it levels out. The site is right next to the trail for beach access to the lake so be comfortable with people occasionally walking next to your site. It's location "around the bend" and just past the top of the hill on Dogwood Loop means cars at night shine their headlights directly into your campsite. A momentary annoyance to be sure. The site slopes down quite a bit from the parking spur but is mostly level once you get there. Nice not to have neighbors on the one side. My only concern would be if it rains as the water is going to flow straight across the site. Other than that, a highly recommended spot.

Tipsaw Lake is a hidden gem. The campground was perfect for our set up. It was quiet and with the thick forestation, you didn't even really know you had neighbors. The Lake House was clean and the lake was peaceful and enjoyable. I think out favorite part of our stay was the hosts. Janet and Bobby were amazing. They made sure we had everything we needed. They even gave a little gift to the kids as we left. We will be back just because of them.

Dogwood 30, as always, never disappoints. Sure, you get some of the light from the shower block/rest rooms, but no neighbors. Really feels private and special. As for the SRA overall, couldn't be more pleased. Tipsaw SRA is well maintained, clean, and a great place to stay. The camp hosts, Bobby and Janet, are great. They make you feel at home. Really, a hidden gem in southern Indiana.
