Wonderful experience. Small campground, lots of space between sites. Walking path to lake, dog and kid friendly.

This campsite is conveniently located next to Route 4 and offers water access and clean restrooms. The best part for me was that the trail starts right next to the campsite, so I didn't need to drive to the trailhead.
I stayed at Site #6, which had plenty of space for my 22-foot RV. The only downside was the lack of shade at this site. We ended up having dinner in direct sunlight.
Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend this campsite to others.

Nice bathrooms. Site was not super flat and hard to get a second car in the site. We had 2 adjoining sites and had a great time. Food at the lodge was good and the water was warm enough to walk in.

Having a campsite close to lake alpine, was awesome. We did water activities both the days we were there and kids had a great time. Host was very informative as well. All in all, great campsite. Looking forward to next year.
