Was not able to access the site at Silver Creek Campground due to limited space.

The only thing that would make this place better is RV / trailer sites down by the river so you hear the river instead of the highway.

Great time at Silver creek!
Lots of shade and dipping in the trukee made for a very comfortable time. There’s only one water faucet for drinking but we didn’t care for the way it tasted. So I recommend bringing h2o.

This campsite is well maintained and the campsite hist makes sure to check that each person that arrives has a reservation. There are bear-proof storage boxes with lots of room for overnight food storage. The pit toilets don’t smell too bad. Only downside is that the campsite is near the road, which has traffic all through the night and it’s quite loud.
