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.

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.

We had a nice time. The weather was very warm. I’ve been going to Lake Alpine for 63 years so it’s a favorite destination unfortunately, most of the pads that silver tip are deteriorating and need to be redone. Some of the tables are in pretty bad shape some of the shrubs need to be trimmed so people can get in without scratching their vehicles, but definitely the parking pads need to be redone. Then when we visited the Marmont picnic area, everyone in our group was very sad. There was a lot of tree removal going on, and I completely understand that but clean up the mess there were logs everywhere you had to step over the logs, tripping hazards, brush, and then brand new tables plopped right in the middle of a pile of trees. How can people even function how is that even safe especially for the elderly trying to climb over logs that have been cut down or even carry your paddle boards to the lake and try to carry them over all that debris63 years and I’ve never seen it so bad clean it up Alpine clean it up
