Nice campsites, although they're not very level. A lot of wildflowers. Great hiking from the campground. Great rustic campground that reminds me of how nice things were in the 60s & 70s. The only complaint we're that some people let their dogs of leash, and I observe one bite two people. There was no one there patrolling to keep people from breaking the leash law.

We’ve stayed at Silver Lake Campground twice over the past few years, and enjoy the area. There’s a great 3.5 mile trail that goes around the backside of the hill south of the campground, past several small ponds as well as Silver Lake. It’s definitely worth doing, and not really indicated on any of the maps. There’s fresh water that you can get from a pump, and two vault toilets (two seats each in the men and women buildings). Dogs are allowed, and the camping sites range from pretty good to quite unlevel. If you’re in a camper, it’s probably not a problem, but if you’re planning on being in a tent, I would say half of the sites are going to be pretty uneven and bumpy ground. One problem we noticed this year is that wind can kick up a fair amount of dust, as well as present a risk for fires. Some of the sites are more sheltered, but we stayed at the far west walk-in site and there was plenty of wind. Overall, it’s a pretty sparse location but has everything that you should need. We heard that they’re planning to clean up and remodel the campground, hopefully leveling things out and may be putting larger tent pads at the varioussites. That may happen in 2025, but we will have to wait and see how it goes.

Very spread-out sites. Not level though. The surrounding area is wild land, with plenty of exploring for the kids. Lots of wildlife to see. Some teenage partyers showed up next door at midnight and woke us all up, but otherwise a great stay.

A great place to camp. Make sure you bring water and dress in layers. The nights are cold but the camping is wonderful

Nice little camp ground. Beetle kill trees have been cleared so it is a bit more open than normal. Good hike down to silver lake.
