Campground hosts Dennis and his wife as well as Tom as area manager were and always are very friendly and welcoming. We've been camping at Silvertip for many years and always feel welcomed.
The sites are well maintained and clean and the bathrooms are always clean thanks to their efforts.

Dennis is a great camp host, Tom is a great area manager. Campground is clean and has everything we need, and nothing we don't need. Quiet, scenic, and near unlimited activities abound. We hike, mountain bike and target shoot.

The site was a little choppy in terms of places to lay the tent, largely because a lot of repair/maintenance to be done. That said, how sweet to smell the alpine air after a long mountain winter, and many thanks to the host and others who quickly got this campground operational after late snow and tree/campsite damage from the weight of it all. Very grateful to camp here and we will be back.

The campground is small and intimate, boasting beautiful views of the valley and perfect hikes to the lake. The host was helpful and kind, the bathrooms were well kept and clean, and though sure #2 was extremely sloped, it worked okay with our 28 foot trailer. We can’t wait to go again and will definitely stake out sites closer to the top. We loved everything about this campground.

I didn’t realize there was cabins, restaurant/bar there. You can also rent paddle boards and kayaks. From campground you can hike about a mile to the lake.
