Tipsinah Mounds a relaxing place
Published Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Late April snowstorms aren’t stopping Scott Cleveland from getting Tipsinah Mounds Park & Campground, owned and operated by the City of Elbow Lake, ready for the 2008 camping season. The park and campground are located four miles east of Elbow Lake on Pomme de Terre Lake.
“We look forward to another good season,” said Cleveland, who lives at the site and who is busy these days, as a city employee, getting the park and campground ready for guests. “We’re proud to also offer a public swimming beach, playground equipment and hiking and nature trails.”
The city also has a public boat launch at Tipsinah, a sandy swimming beach, over 25 RV camping sites (electricity and water), tenting, a general store and good fishing. For the safety and peace of mind of its guests, Tipsinah has on-premise caretakers and regular police patrols.
Close to the Tipsinah Mounds Park and Campground is the Tipsinah Mounds 18-hole golf course.
Brochures convey the beauty of this area east of Elbow Lake.
“Spacious grounds, whispering leaves, gurgling waters, warming sunrises and quiet sunsets blend with the history of Native Americans. Come share some time in our part of the world. We promise respite and quality facilities.”
There are things to do for young and old alike, and supplies can be purchased right at the park and campground.
As for things to do, in addition to camping, swimming and golf, there’s volleyball, hay rides, horseshoes, nature trails, basketball, and pet walking areas.
As for supplies, guests can obtain bait, ice, gifts, camping supplies and groceries. There’s a dump station and fish cleaning station nearby.

The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Post a comment
