What campers say

Tippy Dam Recreation Area offers a scenic, well-used campground with easy access to the river, dam backwater, and North Country Trail. It’s popular for salmon, trout and steelhead fishing, kayaking, tubing, and swimming; expect good fishing but crowded banks during runs and evenings. Sites are affordable and generally have decent Verizon cell coverage. Facilities are basic and restrooms are unremarkable. The campground can be lively—often younger tent campers alongside families—so noise levels vary. Visitors should secure boats and belongings after at least one reported theft, and pack out trash to help keep the area clean. Overall a strong choice for outdoor recreation.
