While the campgrounds and lake are beautiful, this is not the place to go if you are planning on having a relaxing camping experience. There is no noise curfew enforced which means that there is crazy campers partying with loud music at all hours of the night and morning. There is also no curfew to check in so there are plenty of loud trucks with trailers hauling noisy camping equipment in while you’re trying to sleep as well as bright headlights shining straight into your tent. If stricter rules were in place to ensure both campers and wildlife would not be disturbed after a certain hour, I would consider going back. At this moment I don’t have plans to return.
**First Timer Review** It’s been a while since my last camping trip, and this place did not disappoint at all. First I’d like to thank Ms. Reeva and Mr. Jeremiah for all their hard work, and making our trip a success. Silver lake was a huge relief from the heat in the city. Excellent weather 90% of the time. The rain we got was welcoming, and made for some very cool mornings. Fire pits aren’t hard to come by, and campfires were allowed from 6pm-10am daily. The lake is beautiful, we didn’t catch a thing, but the memories created made up for it. Definitely giving this place a 10/10.
Beautiful campground with beautiful scenery. The lake is small but plentiful, fishing was great and the trout is pretty tasty if you know how to cook it! The horses stop by every day in the summer months. The bathrooms and grounds are well taken care of, trash gets picked up multiple times a day! Definitely worth the money! We will be back!
I had and amazing time here!! I haven't been camping in years and I fell in love with this place. Perfect weekend getaway. Bathrooms are clean just make sure you bring soap! The staff emptys out the trash cans daily. There is a lot of camping space to choose from. Just make sure you get there early morning on a Friday to get a good spot. It does get cold at night so bring loads of blankets! It does love to rain to so come prepared once again. I've read reviews from this place where people had a horrible experience because of the rain and gave this place a low rating. It is not the campgrounds fault for rain that is mother natures fault. This place takes CASH ONLY so don't forget! You will not get any signal whatsoever unless you pay 2 bucks for the wifi and even then you have to be close to the office but I'll let you in on a little secret.... You get some signal close to the lake, its more than enough to check your Facebook and send some texts or make some calls that is it! Forget about downloading or uploading anything....
Besides the skunks bothering at night, clean restrooms and clean camp grounds. Water to shower in the restrooms was a little cold. $35 a night per car.
