What Guests Are Saying
Silver Thread Basecamp is a highly recommended campground with spacious, well-maintained sites and modern amenities, including clean laundry facilities. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful hosts, as well as the beautiful, peaceful location near the river and local attractions. While some found the stairs to the laundry room a challenge, the overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive, with many planning to return.

Very nice park. Sites are spacious. It has a rustic look with modern amenities. The covered wagons add a nice touch. A short 2 minute walk to the river adds to the experience. My dogs loved the Bark Park which is totally suitable for small dogs, no opportunity for escape.
My only complaint is walking up stairs to get to the laundry room but that’s because I have old knees!

Excellent campground.
Nice spacious sites, very well maintained clean and tidy.Laundry room had lots of washers & dryers and was spotless. Being out of season the showers were closed but I’m sure they were also good.
We actually stayed out of season so we had the whole campground to ourselves.
The host Ryan was friendly and helpful.
This has to be one of my favorite campgrounds and I’ve stayed at many.
Highly recommended 👍

We loved this campground! We looked at other campgrounds in the area but were so glad we stayed here because of the trees, great park host and spacious level sites! My parents stayed in the covered wagons and really enjoyed the nostalgia. The campground was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. South Fork has all your basic needs and within 3 miles of the campground! We will definitely be back.

We love this campground! It is so peaceful with great views and wonderful facilities. The sites are level, nice hookups and plenty of shade. The laundry facilities and shower house are very clean. The camp hosts (Ron, Liz, David and Jane) are so friendly and helpful.
The campground is in a perfect location to get to South Fork, Creede, Del Norte and Monte Vista.
We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely loved our stay! The campground was spotless, and the riverfront spots were beautiful. The hosts—Ron, Liz, David, and his wife—were fantastic. While we were out, we had a water issue and David went above and beyond to fix it for us. Such a great experience overall—we’ve already booked our spot for next August!
