Always enjoy coming here. Camp hosts are on top of things. Only one bear but it was harmless. Inspiration point hike has some very good views and is a great hike. The lake isn't overly crowded. Will be continuing to come back.

The parking pads need to be smoothed and leveled.

Site 20 should be avoided. No shade, completely overgrown by weeds, and no obvious pads for a tent. Other sites were much better.

Need to have running water available. Forest service keeps putting off. Had to haul water to my camp site. Otherwise, fabulous experience!

The campground had unfortunately undergone a big tree cutting the week before we arrived, so several of the sites have very little shade and some deep divots from the construction trucks. We originally reserved site #8, but when we decided to change to something better. We also happened to booked during the Southern Cal tropical storm so it rained both days (in August) so we only stayed one night.

This is my favor Lake Alpine campground. It’s fairly small and quiet. Interior sites seem a bit bigger than exterior sites - choose carefully if you have a trailer (site 13 is great). Angel is an excellent host. Only negative is the vault toilets which are stinky but clean. We brought a toilet tent & potty which saved the day (highly recommended!). Showers at Lake Alpine Resort were slightly rundown but ok and somewhat pricy at $3.25 for 5 minutes.

Beautiful campground, so peaceful and clean. The host Angel was amazing, very helpful and friendly. My car battery ending up dying and he went above and beyond to help me get it started twice. He definitely takes pride in his campground and wants to ensure you enjoy your time there. This is my second time there and have had a positive experience both times.

Our camp host Angel was awesome. He was super helpful with everything we needed. Campsites and toilets were the cleanest I've seen in a long time. We had a great stay and can't wait to go back.

Campsite maintained and had a great hike to Duck Lake and caught trout from the shore of Lake Alpine.

Had a fantastic time at Lake Alpine, Silver Valley Campground. The campground was clean and the camp host, Angel, was the best camp host we have ever had there. We have been camping there for over 25 yrs. Angel was so helpful to giving advise to the area and even helped someone start their car with jumper cables. Definitely will continue to go back here for our annual camping trip.

The only surefire way to know if you can comfortably fit your RV in a specific site is to take an exploratory trip to scout it out for yourself.
- Site driveways are asphalt and may not be level. There is no guarantee of sites having level driveways. Please bring ample leveling equipment for RVs and trailers.Driveway lengths are estimates and not guaranteed.

- Generator use is limited to 2 hours per day, in between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm.
- This is bear country-Be bear aware! Keep all food out of sight in containers or inside a locked vehicle. Remove all food from the area after eating.
