We stayed in the Silvertip Campground. The camp host did not enforce the quiet time hours at night, or the 6 people to a campsite rule.

The campground host was pleasant and attentive. The bathrooms feature flush toilets and were cleaned frequently. There is a very nice, easy mile-long trail to Lake Alpine (Marmot Day Use Area). Campsites are very spacious. There is bear activity here, but no bear boxes so you need to put your food in your vehicle at night.
