    Potholes Area Trail
    R B.

    Always an enjoyable camping experience, well maintained by EID all the way down to the outhouses and hospitality. Firewood is available along with Tent and Trailer sites. WARNING to hikers trekking to the Potholes, you will not have access via the campground and must park along highway and use trail head across from Silver Lake.

    Fishing at Silver Lake. We canoed over to this side.

    Ask the Community - Silver Lake East Campground

    Is it warm enough for swimming and is there a beach?

    During the summer months it's perfect for sitting on the shore and beach, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and boating too!

    Don they have full rv hook ups?

    RVs up to 24ft are permitted but no power is supplied at sites however, generators are allowed

The surrounding terrain boasts incredible natural beauty and a serene ambiance, making it a popular destination for paddling, relaxation, and wildlife viewing. What many fail to realize is that the lake's true splendor is best appreciated from the water, where visitors can immerse themselves in the serene landscape. Nestled amidst the mature coniferous forests along the shores of serene Lake Alpine, the Lake Alpine Campground is one of five scenic camping destinations within the larger Lake Alpine Recreation Area. It is a superb place to paddle and camp! FOr more info: https://www.paddlingcalifornia.com/Alpine_Lake.html

There was plenty of irregular cloud cover, and the temperature was in the seventies with a slight breeze. I wore a long-sleeved shirt and PFD and felt comfortable. My paddling companion was wearing a t-shirt initially, but felt cold and had to add layers partway in our circumnavigation of the lake. There are some nearby structures that I guess are privately owned residences nearby. A few others were also kayaking around. I saw one motorized craft tooling slowly around, so it is allowed. Parking was pretty crowded for the number of available parking. Day use parking is $5 available at the store in the lodge building or at the little shack near the boat launch. $10 fee to use the boat launch. The campground host of the Silvertip campground also oversees the camping at Lodgepole campground, about a mile east of the lake where we camped. According to him(Thom), he also patrols the parking in the day use parking and along the shore. If you are staying at the campgrounds and have checked into your site with the host(Thom), the additional $5 day parking fee is waived (wish someone had told us that. We had already paid at the store earlier).

So, meals were incomplete or cold or required asking for the most basic things. Unlike in prior times, there were no activities offered, but that is less important than health and safety. My biggest issue was the main campfire left burning all day long with no one to attend to it, and with a box of matches sitting on a nearby log. My family and friends are going to look elsewhere for a place to spend a weekend together.

Stockton Family Camp is a very relaxed environment, quiet and peaceful. The camp is usually full of summer campers mostly family's with their kids. The have crafts, archery, hiking, volleyball there's more, they have showers, the lodge is nice there is outdoor seating with umbrellas surrounded by views of the Eldorado National Forest. The fire pit was great. We built a big fire and had s'mores. Bring extra S'more supplies for the ones who don't have any, sharing around the campfire was awesome and everyone can participate. The cabins are small but cozy and warm. We stayed in M2 and there are plenty of outlets, lighting, double pane windows 2 bunk beds and a full size bed a card table with 2 chairs and a cabinet for your things. Bring your bedding. And an ice chest. Remember you are in the mountains it gets cold at night. For us the weather was great. We canoed on Silver Lake and relaxed. It's beautiful. Canoes and kayaking is included in the fee. We came with a group so call for pricing. Oh yes! They do the cooking!!! Yes!! 3 meals a day everything was good. Breakfast they served fresh fruit, cereals bacon eggs biscuits and gravy lunch was sandwiches and dinners have been hamburgers, ribs, roast beef every meal had sides and/or desert and beverage but your welcome to bring your own. This is a non-profit so if you can see what you or your group can do to help the camp stay alive. There's a lot of potential For this camp but it's needs us to stay alive. Come and check this place out! Get away from your everyday and clear your head and spend quality time with your family. I hope you found this review helpful. What are you waiting for? Book a stay and reconnect with yourself and your family...

The first come first serve sites were almost all empty Sunday-Wednesday mid July when I visited. The creek is beautiful and there are lots of good swimming spots. We stayed with friends in a group site and several single nearby sites. There was plenty of space and fallen trees and meadows for our kids to explore! The bad: Idk why but checkout and checkin are both at 2pm, so the sites aren't being cleaned fully between uses. There was a bit of trash at ours and we almost overlapped with the group there before us. The dumpsters were full the entire time we were there. So many yellow jackets and mosquitos, but that's summer in California near the water for you. The worst, there were several bears that made the rounds scavenging every night. We heard them sniffing around tents, banging around coolers, and people generally letting off foghorns and screaming and dogs barking all night long. The campsite is not equipped for bears. The hosts are doing their best, but this is their first summer with this problem, and they aren't receiving support from fish and wildlife. There are no bear boxes at the campsites and very little signage anywhere alerting people to store all their containers and food out of reach at night. People are also not helping. We talked to one family with their food out and said to pack it up as there were bears out the night before. They said they had been coming to the campground for years and never seen a bear. They didn't pack up their food at night and the bears got it all, and they had to leave the next day. The stupidity was astounding. Overall, I would recommend it except for the bears! Hopefully the government steps up to give the host more support before something serious happens!
