Beautiful campground, clean and quiet! Bathrooms are the nicest pit toilets Ive ever seen. (and Ive seen a lot)This is our go-to get away. And there is no better campground host than Deb. She takes her job seriously and goes out of her way to accommodate guests. Her whole objective is to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Thanks Deb!!!!

Each campsite was far enough away from the next. We had a great camp site. There were maybe 15 campsites. The campgrounds and sites were very clean and well taken care of. The camp host came down and introduced herself and chatted with us for about a half hour. She gave us some really important information about the bear situation. She shared some other happenings in the area that we may be interested in. She was just lovely. The walkways/paths were all paved and went for several miles. We explored the rock jetties or islands. We didnt swim, but all who were swimming off the rocks were having a great time. There are enough little cove beaches to have some privacy and for how busy the campgrounds and shorelines were, people were very respectful of others.We had not been up to Lake Alpine since our son was 6. He will be 47 next week. We had camped back then in a tent just off the road, along the Trucker river.There is plenty to do and explore in the area. Fun for the entire family.

This campground has wonderful access to the beautiful lake. Just a short walk through the campground to either the beach or the public boat ramp. Easy access by kayak at the beach. New for 2023 are new pit toilets which replace the flush toilets and sinks of previous years. It's definitely a downgrade. The camphost keeps them clean, but they are still pits. The only bad campsite is #1; it is rocky and has uneven surfaces. Difficult to pitch a tent and walk into at night. Many sites will accommodate large capers and cars with trailers. The Alpine Lode, store, and restaurant are across the road.

Donna, our Camp host was amazing. She cleaned and bleached the bathrooms twice a day, usually @ 6:30am before most campers woke up. She checked in on us and made small talk. She let several small kids pet her pet bird.Campground itself was quiet at night by @ 9pm. Lots of older campers in their 50s or 60s with motorhomes. No issues with Bears due to a combination of campers obeying the rules AND lots of LED lights at night, kept a nice glow around the grounds. Daytime temps around 80s and nights only dipped down to the 50s.

Camp Hosts; Donna and Carl were the best. ALWAYS working to ensure park was clean and all visitors followed the rules. We went to through the other Alpine camp grounds, NO where near as clean and organized and West Shore. Donna NEVER stops moving, I felt guilty relaxing because she was always working so hard, she is all over that camp ground. Wish there were a few more water faucets around, but the site it's self is clean, people were happy and friendly, camp hosts set the environment and all seemed very happy and friendly, VERY nice. Carl and Donna, THANK YOU, so glad you were our hosts, God we needed a relaxing getaway, you made it possible!Mike and Tracy

My stay at Lake Aline campground in my RV was great. The campground hosts Earl and Donna were very friendly, helpful, and very organized. The bathrooms, firepits, were well managed. There was no loud unruly people, no speeding cars, because the hosts are strict to the rules.

We were in campsite 8 and it was very hard to level our motorhome, which we never were able to do. Enjoyed our trip anyway.
