I like and appreciate Indian Celina Lake campground being the small size that it is. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the campground and facilities were well maintained. It had been several years since I have stayed here, so I was disappointed, however in the condition of the campsites. Although they were well maintained, the once nicely paved areas are now crumbling and deteriorating. Makes parking and leveling a camper a little difficult. I also noted that there were fewer truly shady spots. Overall I was very pleased with the campground.
The portion of the hiking trail we went on was maintained and clear. I cannot say this for the entire trail at Tipsaw Lake - it was overgrown and hard to travel.

We camped at Indian/Celina Lake South Slope campground, site #24. The staff is friendly and the park as a hole was clean and well maintained I especially want to say the shower/restroom facilities were always clean and well maintained.

My Family and I really enjoy the campgrounds here and the staff are very welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place to camp and relax and enjoy some quality family and quiet time. The lakes provide a great place to fish but only accessible by a boat. Have fun and enjoy
