We stayed in the Silvertip Campground. The camp host did not enforce the quiet time hours at night, or the 6 people to a campsite rule.

Great campground with very spacious sites. The host was very friendly and informative. The bathrooms we clean and the campground seems more peaceful and less raucous than other campgrounds that are on the lake. There is an easy trail that takes you down to Lake Alpine in about 25 minutes. My only "con" is I wish they had bear boxes on site since bears are very prevalent in the area. All food items and anything with a "smell" has to be stored in your vehicle at night away from your tent or sleep area. I would highly recommend this campground while staying in the area.

Our campground hosts were friendly and helpful. Their patroling was excellent and the campground quiet. Had 2 women with me, so always feel a bit more vulnerable without husbands along.
