Alpine County Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Alpine County

There are no incorporated towns in the county. The largest population center is the county seat of Markleeville with just under 200 people residing there. Don't expect to find any of the conveniences associated with larger towns and cities anywhere in the county such as ATMs, banks, fast food chains, large grocery stores, or 24-hour convenience stores. However, there is an ATM in the Bear Valley Lodge. Much of the county was severely affected by forest fires in 2021, closing many campgrounds in the area.
