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

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.
