This is the most beautiful campground, and the hikes are gorgeous with breathtaking views!
Campground was very well kept and the other campers were super nice and helpful! But the real treasure is what’s around beautiful scenery, hikes near the campground were amazing and the lake was refreshing. I would definitely come again!
This was my first real camping experience lol. Don’t judge me 🫣. The Host was so nice. He had a really nice dog and I am saying this because I am not always friends with dogs and yes, that was the first dog I ever touched or played with. The camp was so cool and the only disadvantage for me was the bathrooms. I hope sometime, they have better bathrooms in the future. We were so lucky it wasn’t all smoky on Saturday and we took awesome pictures.
Great Camping. Spacious spots. We fit two 4-6 person tents and could've put 1 more. No BBQ,s as there is grill over the pit. The bathroom was not too far from us. Host was very nice. Kept the bathrooms clean plus loved his dog. Went early October and had some rain it was Chilly but so beautiful. Finally able to camp there and now my Favorite Campground in the El Dorado National Forrest. Never camped on the HW. 88 side. I usually take a weekly fishing trip there as I don't live far away.
Silver Lake East national campground had just opened a few days before our June 28th camping trip. They have both reservable and first come first served spaces. There are three or four loops in the east campground. Is it just recently rained and the flowers and the smells were quite delightful. The campground was dry as they were repairing several leaks in the water system. The toilet facilities were still open and not affected by the lack of water. You may find it easier to get a reservation here. Silver Lake is a beautiful lake! It was very high this year with the recent rain. The campground is contiguous to kit Carson resort. We hiked the pothole'd hike downstream from the reservoir. Absolutely beautiful! You'll want to take that hike. It's not demanding. Although it does take you through a. Section of last year's Caldor Fire.
