We love this campground and stay here every year. This year our campground host was Angel - he was helpful and personable and the restrooms were spotless. He greeted us at the check in and made regular rounds to make sure all was well. There was a bear in the camp but nothing happened (didn't get anyone's food or trash the dumpster) and one reason why was Angel came to each campsite to warn us to be careful and put all the food in the bear box, The next night - bear in the camp again! He came around and warned us again to be careful and he scared it away from the camp! Yay Angel! I felt like he wanted to make sure everyone had a positive experience, he was happy and enjoyed his job! He is an asset to the campground for sure! Will be back next year!

My host at the Silver Valley campground was a young man named Angel. He was very helpful in helping me to find a suitable camp spot for me and my daughter. He made sure we were safe at the end of a day on the trail and addressed my concerns with other campers campfires and noise.
He was great. Also the man at the store was very helpful in helping us find an appropriate hiking trail and map for our excursions. Thanks to both of you.
Sincerely,
Debi and Katie

Great stay. Clean bathrooms and a short walk to the lake. The campground host Angel was great. He greeted us when we arrived, checked on us later to ensure everything was good. He was good spirited and fun to talk with, Angel also kept the campsite safe. Some of camping neighbors walked away leaving fire flaming and food on the table (the night before they was a bear). Angel quickly doused the fire and put the food away. He keeps the campers accountable to the rules so we can have future camping trips without forest fires. Thanks Angel.

Angel lived up to his namesake! We loved our experience at Alpine Lake, but the host made it even more enjoyable with his affable manor and quick response when we required our friends car to be jump-started upon leaving. What could have spoiled our venture turned out to be a wonderful act of kindness. Thank you Angel. We will return.

This is a great quite campground out of the way close to Yosemite. Each space is unique so bring whatever you need to level your sleeping area up. We got reception on at&t at space 5. Would camp here again.

- Generator use is limited to 2 hours per day, in between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm.
