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.

This is a nice park and the spots are private. However, the showers are cold and when asked management about it was told they won't be fixed.

Nice campground. Only 1 trail around the lake and it was overgrown so we could not hike. No one at the beach on Memorial weekend. Found 4 snakes in the grassy areas of the beach and 1 at the edge of the water. Not much to do except walk the loop of our campground. Enjoyed the weekend but it won't make it to our top 10 Indiana campgrounds. The host, Bobby, was super friendly.

We love camping at Catbrier. It is a small loop to be able to see your kiddos ride bikes at all times and there is an extra field by the shelter house for some good kick ball or baseball games.

I had a nice 3-day stay. The campground was very well maintained. The host was very helpful helping me get a campsite. The only negative was I was unable to find a dump station when exiting.

Camping loop we were in was a muddy mess with very unstable ground. The bathhouses had water that was barely warm enough to step in without gasping for air but were clean. Lots of hiking in the area.
