About
Camper Cabin, at Tippy Dam State Recreation Area. It's about 400 square feet and sleeps up to six, with two sets of bunk beds, a futon, electrical outlets, and shelving for gear - there's no running water inside. Toilet and shower buildings and vault toilets are a short walk away (only the vault toilets stay open in the off-season). Bring your own bedding, dishes, and cookware. No individually mapped coordinate is published for this unit - the point shown is this park's own campground location.
Fees
$100/night. A Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry, separate from this nightly rate.
This semi-modern camper cabin has electric service.
