Nice place if you want to listen to generator running all night long the camp host allows homeless people to come in and camp. And if I'm right they've been there quite a while without being thrown out. I complained to the camp host and the camp host told the homeless people and they came over and started harassing me. They told me they run the generator because they don't have propane because they can't afford to propane tanks so they run the generator for electricity for heat all night. If at all possible I'd still clear this place
Paula was a great campground host, checking in when we would arrive, coming by to great us and leaving a rock ladybug at the back of our van was the best gift of all! Thanks for this great night to Alpine, which concluded our trip by a dive into the reservoir - on the Idaho
Beautiful lake and clean campsites. The camp host Paula is wonderful. We almost stayed another night because she was so friendly. Enjoyed our site in the trees by the water. Our neighbors were noisy though and kept my friend awake until 4am. We would definitely stay here again!
I was a little skeptical at 1st due to some questionable reviews against Paula,( the camp host)Needless to say she was totally awesome and super sweet. She did pay her 1st initial visit at the camp site. She warned Us that a bear had previously passed through the campsite. She asked us to be bear aware and make sure we leave nothing out at night. We will definitely be back. Paula was on top of her job and the bathrooms were in great shape. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ keep up the great work Paula 👍
