What Guests Are Saying
Tipsaw Lake campground is a beautiful and peaceful destination with friendly and helpful camp hosts, Bobby and Janet, who enhance the camping experience. The campground features lovely wooded sites, clean restrooms, and well-maintained hiking trails, making it ideal for relaxation and nature activities. While there are some concerns about the lack of hot water in showers and the absence of a dump station, the overall experience is enjoyable, and many visitors express a desire to return.

Great area to visit, awesome beach, needs a little work to make it as big as it was when the place was built. Had multiple sightings of bald eagles over the three day weekend, what a treat!

Nice place not crowded. Very secluded. Good hiking trails . Clean lake even with all the rain it was still clear. Great for kayak. Nice clean beach. Minutes from other hiking trails. Only down fall is if you needs something from a store you will be driving a little ways.
