Silver Tip Campground at Lake Alpine is praised for its clean facilities, spacious campsites, and a friendly camp host, Dennis, who is helpful and accommodating. Many guests enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, easy access to the lake, and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a delightful destination for outdoor activities. However, some sites are noted to be uneven or outdated, and there are occasional concerns about cleanliness and site proximity. Overall, visitors express a strong desire to return.

I did not want to leave! It was an amazing experience. About less than a mile away from Lake Alpine either hike or drive. Lots of things to do! Camp Host Dennis was amazing and shared maps of hiking spots. Be bear aware! Please follow the rules and put all items in bear locker to keep everyone safe including the bear. Had a bear encounter because 2 campsites over did not put their cooler into the bear box.

Very nice campground. Beautiful trees and wildlife. It is old and some of the sites are small with not much room for rv's. We had a cargo trailer in space 22 and it barely fit with our pick up truck. Nice space for a tent but kind of close to the campsite next door (but not too bad). Flush toilets are old but seem to be maintained. Water is available but not at every campsite, we had to walk a ways to get water. Camp host was nice. No firewood at campground, either bring some with you or you will have to go to the resort down the road to buy it at overpriced rates.
