Silver Lake Campground

Beautiful area. Lots to do. The campground is well maintained. Toilets are clean. Don't take site 15. It's adjacent to the boat launch dock parking lot. People use that site as a walkway and are nasty when you request they not walk through your campsite.

The campground itself is beautiful. The 2 stars is for the camp hosts. First the man wanted to choose the site for me which was right next to the host site. He was annoyed that I wanted to pick my own site. Then they wanted my DL# I've camped in BLM and forest campsites all over the west coast and have never once been asked to show my drivers license. EVER. License plate yes, but drivers license? Why? When I asked them, the lady said it was what THEY do, like she owned the place and she was so rude. Nope. Not. Today. Ended up finding this gem instead

U have to say we really had a nice time. I took my 2 older grandsons to spend a little quality time with them and get them out of town for a day or two. They really enjoyed going fishing and swimming and I have to agree with the other reviews these were some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen anywhere. The Rangers were all very friendly with the exception of Ray and Nathan. They were great! Unfortunately Upon Our loading up to leave we noticed we had a dead battery in the vehicle and these two we're able to jump start my car with their little John Deere like golf cart did they wrote around the park in. They really saved our trip. We are so greatful for their help. I highly recommend going out to Silverlake if you have the time.

We are paying for campground stay at in Inyo County with no water less than a few miles away from Silverlake. Oh Ridge and the Shell station both offered free water, so when the camp host called us “Water thieves” - at first assuming he was joking, then when I said to have a good day. He then responded sarcastically with “You too, with our water”. I was shocked as water is abundant here and offered for free in Inyo County. I didn’t know he personally owned the water rights. Definitely not a human response to something as basic as water use.

Mark the camp host was very accommodating, made checking in a breeze. The views here are amazing!
