The host was friendly, the camp ground was clean but the parking space was very narrow and sloped and difficult to park our RV.

It was a nice campground. Only one sink works in the lower bathrooms.

I had booked 3 nights but left after first night because of smoke and ash from Yosemite area fire made breathing tough! Unfortunately there was no way to get a refund for nights 2 & 3!! You need to fix that!!

The bathrooms were clean and the Campground was generally quite, and the camp host was nice. However, it was a bit close to the highway 4, and our campsite #18 was sloping, including the picnic table, and was a little too close to site #17. Would be great if both sites were reserved together. Site 19 and 20 were nicer individually.

The campsite was large and had some nice shade. The bathrooms were always very clean.

I would not recommend this place. The site itself was not tidy and the bathroom was dirty. No shower— you need drive 3 mins to other place where you can take a shower , not in this campground .

Silver Tip is such a beautiful, quiet, well designed campsite that it is hard to resist the temptation to tell everyone I know about this place. I don't want it to be overrun with people!

It was cool, overall a decent location. However, very close to the road so lots of noise from cars. Some other guests were extremely loud and noisy which was a let down and the host didn’t do anything about it. Our host (Dennis) was pretty friendly but when we mentioned we had issue starting a fire, he didn’t really offer any support. I would come back here probably, but it wouldn’t be my first choice if other camping options exist.

Campsite 7 has good morning shade! Perfect for warm days of the year, not so much when it’s cold. Beautiful open area behind you, water spigot right in front of you. Plenty of space away from other campsites.
