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.

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.

We always enjoy our family camping trip at Tipsaw. The beach was lovely. Hiking trails are kept in good condition. Camp site was clean and the host and hostess were very friendly and there to help if any problems occurred
