The picturesque location offers great hiking trails and access to beautiful creeks and waterfalls, making it ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts. However, campers should note the absence of running water, so planning ahead is necessary.

Campsite is clean and the toilet paper never ran out. But the sites themselves are difficult for tents, as none of the pads are flat and were very rocky. There's no water - be aware before you go!

We usually camp at Grover Hot Springs in Markleville. We decided to try some place new. We had space 003, nice spacious drive-thru spot. It was close to highway, but its very quiet, cars traveling 30 miles an hour. NO water .. I mean no flush toilets, no water sinks and no water spikets. So if you need water, bring it or keep going, We have a full contained travel trailer so no big deal to us. 12 miles from Grover Hot Springs, dining and grocery store in Markleville. Beautiful area. 30 minute drive to a beautiful little lake for fishing, swimming or paddle boarding. We will be back. Off the grid, no cell.

Beautiful campground. Sites are spaced well apart. Our site was right by the stream. Quiet even though near the road. Near great hiking on the PCT or surrounding areas. Bring your own water!

Silver Creek is a small campground. It was very quiet. Great views of the creek and mountains above at site 19 . Sites 5 & 4 have great views of the silver creek canyon. Hikes on the Pacific Crest Trail are nearby. Sorry that water is no longer available, but this time I was prepared.

The campground was beautiful and peaceful. My only complaints are that we had people fairly close to us, closer than I wouldn't liked. And the second complaint is not being able to have a campfire, kind of takes away from the camping experience. But overall, I would definitely go there again

Rest room was clean and restocked daily. Trash dumpster had not been emptied when we arrived on a Thursday. By Saturday morning, it was too full to utilize. When we left on Sunday, we had to take our garbage with us. Humbolt-Toiyabe Forest District and/or Westrek Services need to restore the water supply at this campground by making the infrastructure repair required. If it raises the nightly rate, so be it. It's laughable a heavily used campground of this quality does not have running water. Current campground host ( "Gunny' ) is pleasant to deal with.

This is one of the best campgrounds in America: spacious, beautiful, lots to do nearby, great camp host. Doesn't get any better than this.

Eric (Gunny) the Camp Host was wonderful. The campsite was clean upon arrival and the pit toilets were kept clean our whole trip. We are wondering if they will ever get the water system fixed here. Especially with the fire danger prevalent, it is hard to carry enough water for personal use AND campfire suppression in the evenings, especially on a long trip. Thank you.
