TravelerAmazing and beautiful
It was the most amazing, relaxing, beautiful, peaceful time that I’ve had in a long time when camping
TravelerBeautiful campsites on the back waters of Tippy dam. About 8 sites available. No fee. A pit toilet is available at one cluster of 3 campsites
I was there during September 2019 and was lucky to get a site. Every site was full. I hear it’s darn near impossible to find an open site During June-August. Sites are large with fantastic views. Walking trails, bike trails and ORV trails a d routes are in close proximity. I will try again this summer mid week.
