Really nice campground! Very clean bath house, nice wooded sites, well-maintained. Our site was right across from the bath house, and while convenient, we probably wouldn't choose this particular one again due to the bright lights at night and the noise of people coming and going (not that bad, really, we just like it nice and quiet). The 6-mile trail around the lake was a nice walk and easier than expected (parts of the trail aren't very well-worn, so some of it requires attention to trail markers, but it's pretty flat and mostly easy-going). Hemlock Cliffs, a few miles north, was a beautiful hike! No paper trail maps were available and cell service (T-Mobile) was spotty at best. I considered docking a star because there really should be easier access to maps (I had trouble finding any online before getting there, and wrongly assumed I could get a map once there) but that's maybe more of a Hoosier National Forest issue than a campground issue specifically. Overall, would return to camp here!

We loved the weekend in the private group site. Perfect for a group of people camping together. We were able to close the gate and let the kids ride their scooters without worrying about cars coming through. Sites and bathroom were very clean.

@LauraR9755561 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #15

We have been camping here for years and is still to this day our favorite place to go. Peaceful, calm, and relaxing with a great staff!

@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Oct 6, 2025 at Campsite #16

Wow a gem of a find for well maintained campsites and restroom/shower facilities. Camp hosts were very helpful. The lake trail is well defined and marked.

campsite somewhat difficult to enter with 35 ft fifth wheel. Campground clean and quiet. Friendly host.

@Elizabeth31927 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #17

Great campsites and friendly hosts! Had a great trip and will definitely be back!

@RainaB5AE6E0F5 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #28

This site was small, but still fit our 6 person tent on the gravel. There is a perfect spot to hang a hammock. The beach to the lake had newer sand and was very pleasant. I'm excited to return to do the trail that loops the lake, and to kayak on the lake. There was no campers close to us so it was very peaceful.

@MichelleAB2D1B · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #4

Tipsaw is one of our favorite places to camp. We have always had a great experience with the management.

@MaryA8824979 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #8

This campground was great as usual - We had spot 8 near the bathhouse - write up said full shade but it was only partial shade and mostly sun but the site was semi level - ATT was no existent - The site did have water and electric. Camphost was friendly -

@HopeUF23FB16D5 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #24

Campsite was clean and a nice quiet place to stay. Will definitely be coming back to stay.

@StacyFA9E7B45B · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #6

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

@ChadP386BDBD16 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #28

Attendant was very nice and bathrooms were super clean. Beautiful lake!

@CindyM6464978 · Camped on Jun 14, 2025 at Campsite #GS4

We love our annual family camping at Tipsaw

@GeorgeY33691EB · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #24

Nicely structured camp ground with good privacy. A very relaxing location with friendly staff. Not a lot of activities in this area and the facilities could use some updating.

@DawnS6921813 · Camped on May 31, 2025

Wonderful campground with Wonderful hosts. Thank you

@HeatherM776338 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #16

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.

@RayF313EFA713B · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #21

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.

@BrandyC4904037 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #2

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.

@RandallK835347 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #19

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.

@AndyD3751630 · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #5

Nice clean and quiet,Gate person super nice

@LORIG5494827 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #10

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.

@KennyM2307418 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #23

Hot water in the shower isnt very warm at all other then this great camp ground

@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Oct 21, 2024 at Campsite #4

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.

@MariaW6DDC1433 · Camped on Oct 16, 2024 at Campsite #10

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.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
