I have been camping at Silver Creek for 50 years. Last three camp hosts have been great. Only problem is with company running campground. No water? Seems like a readily fixable problem

There are two separate campsites that are both called "Silver Creek" that are about an hour's drive apart. If you type the name into maps, you will end up at the wrong one. Please consider renaming one of the sites. Once we got to the correct campsite, it was nice and quiet, but the host was sold out of firewood.

Most beautiful views. Clean restrooms. No water though because of a break in the line somewhere. So it was dry camping but we were in a 28foot class C rig. Camp host was great. We were there the last weekend before closing for the winter, so it was quiet. Definitely will be returning as this is our family’s favorite campground for the last 25 years!

Would have been 5 stars, but there was no running water, necessitating trips to town and a state park to obtain/buy water. This is inexcusable. Hopefully you have repaired this problem. This is not a remote backpacking only site, so people come expecting running water. Otherwise, a very nice place.

Beautiful location with clean campsites. The ranger who manages the campground is friendly and helpful. My only complaint about this campground has been the lack of running, potable water.
