Silver Creek

The host was very kind and the camp was very clean. However...
He drove around the camp doing laps just about every hour on his golf cart during the day and into the evening. It was the first time I had ever experienced anything like that and would honestly have rather gone without the "patrols." I feels silly to write now, but it felt excessive at the time.

Luckily we brought a gas stove with us, otherwise we would have gone hungry for breakfast as we were told "we dont do fires in the mornings."
It wasn't hot or the middle of the day and there were were no restrictions in place. I understand the cause for concern, but with water jugs in every camp, fire rings, and regular patrols one would think you could cook some eggs.

If you are on the loops anywhere near the highway you will hear and see the cars and headlights late into the night. Lastly the lack of water was very frustrating. We had accepted it going in and brought enough with us, however, it was still frustrating.

Watch out for 13, there's a huge ant's nest right under the only spot to put a tent. Sure you expect wildlife when camping, but if you pause for even a long moment in front of your tent they will be ALL over your feet and legs.

The camp host was amazing. Gunny was the best. Campground clean. Campsites raked, tables leveled along with the bear box.

When I arrived my campsite was raked, clean, tables and bear bins leveled. I have never seen that in any other forest campground in CA. Gunny the host was great and keeps a keen on how the campground runs.

Beautiful campground and Gunny was an excellent campground host. Our only disappointment was in the lack of water available at the pumps. That said we will be returning n the future.

This is a beautiful campground. Some of the campsites are quite small and others are very specious. I think that some are singles / some doubles. It straddles Highway 4, but there's little to no traffic at night. We stayed one night only (on a Thursday) and there were many spaces still available for a last minute camper. The campground has no water. We knew this in advance, so we brought our own and it worked out great. The campground host is fantastic - really goes out of his way to be helpful.

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.

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.

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.

great location for hiking/fishing silver creek

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
