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

We found the area manager to be incredibly rude. The host at Lake Alpine west shore was also rude. She had the road blocked so that we had to check in every time we tried to drive to our site, but she was never there. We were also yelled at by the host and the area manager because we had too many tents but the right amount of people. The area manager yelled at us to read the rules posted on the tables but there were no rules. We also checked the website and could not find a tent number rule. After that the host started inspecting our camping gear without our permission. I've been camping in federal campgrounds for over 30 years and I've never had such a negative experience. These people need to be removed.

Well maintained campground (Silver Tip). Camp host is friendly and conscientious. We've been coming here for over 40 years! Usually, quite peaceful.
