Really is a great place to stay for a weekend, but not for two weeks. the dump station is five miles away so if you have an extra vehicle and a heavy duty portable tank to run back and forth it's okay. You can make it last longer by using the outhouses at daytime. The showers are not heated.

Quiet, beautiful park in the JackPoint Loop. Wonderful and helpful camp hosts, Jeremy and John. Clean showerhouse. Just wish the water was hotter. I cannot say enough about Jeremy and John. They were amazingly helpful for this solo female camper! Will definitely be back.

Once we got settled, the site was nice and big. But when we first got there I was disappointed because online it said the site was a pull thru, level and paved. It was none of the above. The park needs to update their site information.

Once again, Tipsaw Lake SRA delivered the goods. Having spent 10 weekends there in 2024, I can confidently say that this is one of the best maintained rec. areas in the state. This is largely due to the camp hosts, Janet and Bobby. Their level of care and consideration make this a great place to spend the week or the weekend. I'm partial to Dogwood 30 because there are no campsites on either side of this one. The one and only drawback is the other campers occasionally use the trail through the woods from behind the bath/shower house that borders this spot. Other than that, it's spacious, has a level spot for your tent, and is shielded from headlights coming up and around the curve of the road by all the trees. Add to that your own path to the potable water spigot, and DW 30 is a winner.

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.

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.
