Everything was fine, except for somebody came in and rearranged my camp while I was gone and cleaned my fire pit and stole my lighter that was sitting next to my barbecue and I was camped right across from the host

First time at Silver Tip Campground. We went late in the season, so it was pretty quiet except on weekends. Had easy access to kayaking at Lake Alpine. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. Restrooms were clean. Our site (11) took a little doing to get our trailer even, it was at a slight slope. We were across from the restrooms. Easy access to water for the campsite. Nice trail from the campground to the lake if you don't mind walking about a mile.
