Always love Tipsaw and Indian/Celina campgrounds. The BA Service employees were so friendly but are definitely overworked and understaffed. They work so hard to maintain this beautiful campground but need more help.

Camped at Jackpine site #22 and the electric power post is bad. My surge protector kicked out from the first it was as plugged in. Tried several times said bad ground couldn't use the surge monitor. I've camped at this sight many times before and no problem but not again until the electric problem is fixed. Besides that the rest of the stay was great will go again in the fall but not to that site if not fixed

I love this area. Nice lots and quiet atmosphere. Access to water areas for fishing is limited. There was an extreme tick issue. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I believe we may get a group site next time. A large family.

The attendant who checked us in was very helpful, and even let us go preview which site we wanted before paying.

We had a very nice time staying here. The only complaint we had, was unfortunately not just a small inconvenience. My family, the 2 other families with us, and everyone else that was in our loop all had a problem with it... (everyone was talking about it up at the bath house...). There is no hot water in the showers. Maybe for about 5 seconds.... then you're taking an ice bath. Definitely not what you want to take a shower in. The bathroom sinks had hot water, but not the showers. This was a major complaint that we all had and no one camping that weekend was happy about. I heard from one of the campers that this is not the first time they have delt with this problem, although they thought it would have been fixed by now. If you guys can get that fixed, you'd be good to go... but man, that put a damper on our trip. Who wants to take an ice cold shower every day??
