Silver Lake Campground

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.

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.

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
