Wow a gem of a find for well maintained campsites and restroom/shower facilities. Camp hosts were very helpful.
The lake trail is well defined and marked.

This site was small, but still fit our 6 person tent on the gravel. There is a perfect spot to hang a hammock. The beach to the lake had newer sand and was very pleasant. I'm excited to return to do the trail that loops the lake, and to kayak on the lake.
There was no campers close to us so it was very peaceful.

Tipsaw Lake is a great place for a small and quiet weekend get away. The park is quiet, well kept and clean. Set back in a small but beautifully wooded area, Tipsaw offers reasonable access to a small lake and beach / picnic area which give you access to opportunities to fish and swim and also kayak or canoe. The RV spaces offer plenty of room to set up and enjoy the area as well. Rv'ers remember to bring your blocks, as many of the RV sites will have you needing to brace your units to level. All in all, a very nice place to visit.
