Great campground

@SteveH6337222 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #22

Lake Alpine is always great. Such a beautiful place. Unfortunately, not all of the parking pads are level, and, with an RV, that can be problematic. We had to raise one end our motor home a foot off the ground to make it level. Hoping they can address that for next year.

Awesome campsite, but the camp host is like from Gestapo. She left everybody without toilet paper on the 4 of July (embrace your dependence), and was very strict about everything for no real reason.

@SusanA7851316 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #15

Camp was well organized. Great location. Neighboring campers were all respectful of each other and the camp host did an excellent job.

@RobertK4087757 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #11

A very beautiful location. Sites are nice. Not too close to your neighbor. The lake is amazing. Mosquitos werent too bad.

@ArleneSA0BE63B · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #16

We come to Alpine every year. We love the campsites and the lake

@PeteSA3983AF42 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #11

Restroom were cleaned everyday. The campground host is the best!

@PeggyJ6813067 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #23

Camp host; Deb, is very helpful and friendly. (West Shore)Cafe has renovated the seating area wonderful views of the lake while dining or having a beverage from the fully stocked bar.The store has most anything you would need or want.The new bear boxes are a very nice addition. Plus it provides extra space for camp stoves.Take bug spray, as the mosquitoes were buzzing.The pit toilets were kept exceptionally clean by camp host

@GeraldW5854649 · Camped on Jun 14, 2025 at Campsite #25

Due to booking issues we ended up in campsite #13, not 25. which was a blessing for us. either way, nice camp grounds, clean bathrooms, the Host was super friendly, great place!, VERY QUIET!!! (Almost to quiet) will definitely camp there again!

@JeffS4172407 · Camped on Jun 14, 2025 at Campsite #8

Fantastic campground. Location is very close to the lodge and to the lake. The views are beautiful and the campsites are large and fairly secluded. The lodge has a nice restaurant, bar, and store so if you forget anything you will have options! Firewood is reasonably priced. The days don't get too hot and the nights are chilly in June so bring layers and bug spray.

@Christoph76212 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #9

Very easy to navigate the website and the information given about the campsites are very detailed and accurate.

@PerryW2105769E · Camped on Jun 4, 2025 at Campsite #10

Nice campground located near the lake and the boat ramp. Camp host was friendly and helpful if needed. The pit toilets were clean, but my visit was early in the season. Most all sites are unlevel so be prepared to use leveling blocks for your RV or trailer.

@ZoltanD567EE2C · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #15

Very quite and wonderful campground. The lake and the mountains are beautiful. And Debby, the camp host is just a great.

@Charmaine79724 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #11

Lake alpine is a BEAUTIFUL campsite perfect for a weekend away. It is quiet but has little shops on the drive there if supplies are needed. One thing to note is that there were many, many mosquitoes at this site. With that said, Debs was the absolute best campsite host! She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the activities we could do around the area and did not hesitate to loan us some mosquito spray (since we arrived after the general store closed). Would 100% recommend!

@LarryWB457BBFB · Camped on Oct 15, 2024 at Campsite #10

Perfect time of year, end of season. Host (Sam) was very personable and accommodating. Camp sites and restrooms were clean. Great for tent camping and smaller rvs. Definitely will be back!

@chelseam867227 · Camped on Sep 14, 2024 at Campsite #20

Our new favorite camp spot! We had site 20, it was perfect for a smaller tent for my husband and I. Short walk to the lake, in which we were able to carry our inflated paddleboard too without much struggle. Camp host was great! Such a sweetheart. Cant wait to come back!

@BarbaraG281779 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #11

Just enjoy the view of the lake while sitting by the fire.

@MichaelD829846 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #14

The Camp Host Donna was incredibly warm and welcoming upon arrival. The campsite we were in was absolutely amazing, with a view of the water. It was a short walk with our paddle board to the beach. It's so quaint and peaceful here I had no problems leaving my paddle board near the beach overnight. The bathrooms are really clean... smelled like ammonia in the morning from mopping. The water pressure is good for drinking water. Can't wait to go back.

@CraigG5548581 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #7

Great camp host

@TsendsureB387B · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #10

Great campsite with lake view. Really enjoyed

@VeronicaV7CB2B · Camped on Aug 13, 2024 at Campsite #3

It was an amazing little getaway for me and my girlfriend. Everything was convenient to get to. Our camp host donna and Karl were very hospitable and always out there checking in on everyone. We had a great time we reserved our spot again for September

@RafaelO172AF89 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #4

Campsites clean, bathrooms clean and camp host who did their due diligence in making sure ALL who were camping were taken care of. Lake was beautiful, people were friendly. Couldn't of asked for a better trip

@RyanC6963071 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #19

Beautiful lake, great venue, clean campground and facilities, perfect location adjacent to restaurant and general store

@BrettM6000628 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #25

This campground was amazing. Nice and spacious with a small creek running behind it. There were quite a bit of mosquitos, but overall the experience was great.

@ScottA1901121 · Camped on Oct 13, 2023 at Campsite #12

The camp space was relatively small. There was confusion on where to park and the campground hosts were way too serious

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
