Silvertip Campground - Arnold, California

Great campground. We stayed in site 1. The site was very spacious with partial shade and not to far from the restroom or trash. The traffic noise was minimal even though hwy 4 is so close. The camp hosts were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. The only downside of this campground was NO BEAR BOXES. But, the boxes might installed soon.🤞

the reason for the one star was because of the Hosts, they kept harassing our party and coming by our camp site reminding us of the rules. When asked if someone had complaint about us the Host responded that he was the one complaining. I saw another review that went through the same thing and in all honesty it felt like we were being profiled for being diverse. Beautiful place but would not recommend because of the hosts.

The one star I have rated is for two reasons.
One, I need to because it’s the only way I can write my review.
Two, the spot was absolutely beautiful, the stars, the lake, the trees. I love the nature aspect of it.
However, the hosts of the campground were terrible. Yes, my family and I are a pretty huge group of diverse people. However, that doesn’t mean the hosts needed to check on us literally twice in an hour to remind us of the rules that we were following, or have someone come through our campsite to clean up like we were little kids. We are all grown and left the place looking like it did when we arrived.
My family and I felt harassed with the constant contact we had to have with the hosts, rangers, and sheriffs who kept showing up to tell us to quiet down. Nearly half my family ended up leaving during the evening time because they felt that uncomfortable. Like I said, my family and I are a big group, but we are in the forest where noises aren’t as loud when you are only a couple feet away. When being at the bathroom which is about 20-30 feet away, you cannot not even hear us conversing.
Camping here was the most horrible camping experience my family and I ever had. I’m glad that it’s not because of the location because I LOVE being in nature. I also do appreciate that they gave us a warning about the their policies around smoking weed because we didn’t know otherwise. So, do not come here if you are a weed smoker and plan on smoking.
LONG STORY KINDA SHORT: The hosts were terrible hosts and my family and I are not ever coming back nor recommending this campground to anyone else.
If you are planning to camp with a big group of diverse people, don’t come here. If you are white, please feel free and openly enjoy because you will not get constantly bombarded and reminded of the rules 🙃

Quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Campground host, Dennis, is fantastic - friendly, attentive, and keeps the facilities nice and clean. Bears are quite active in the area and sites do NOT have bear boxes, so come prepared to leave cooler and dry foods (in a closed container) in your car. If you're tent camping, site #1 and #15+ have more level ground than others.

Nice quiet campground away from the crowds at the lake. Hosts were very friendly, informative and kept the facilities clean. One can either walk about 15-20min to the lake or drive out there in about 5 minutes. Coin operated Showers and Laundromat located at Lake Alpine lodge. Only downside was it was closer to the road than expected.

Nice and quiet campground. Every spot is big enough to give you privacy.

Recommended to keep food and other stuff inside the bear locker. Do not leave them outside or inside your tent as it’s a common bear area.

I went here two summers ago with 5 other people and had a lovely time. The spots are a good size; even with two cars and three tents, there was plenty of space to goof around. The amenities are not grand- flush toilets, but no potable water and no showers (although you can pay to shower at Alpine Lodge not far away). This campground is a short walk through the woods to beautiful Alpine lake, where you can swim and kayak. The lovely campground host was extremely friendly and helped direct my group to a prime spot. This campground is fairly small and it's first come first serve, so get there early to get a spot!
