What Guests Are Saying
Silver Bar Campground is a well-maintained and beautiful spot, offering clean facilities and friendly staff. The campground features only four sites, providing a sense of privacy and easy access to the nearby creek and Maroon Bells scenic area. While some sites are more exposed than others, the overall ambiance, including the sound of the rushing water and ample shade, makes it a highly recommended destination for camping enthusiasts.

Nice isolated feeling campsite despite being close to the road and the welcome kiosk. Lots of trees.

Nice little campsite right at the entrance to maroon bells. Everything is well kept. Clean bathroom. The site is surrounded by lots of plant growth which makes it feel more secluded but also a bit cramped. Great for a small group. The path is also surrounded by plants so you can’t see your car from the site. We liked the river close by that have soothing water sounds.

Great spot to beat the crowds to Maroon Bells. The area designated for tent is big enough for two small tents. The area has a vault toilet, fire pits and picnic tables.

Site 2&3 were both a bit of a walk in site, although absolutely beautiful. Site 2 had a private shaded wilderness path to the creek. I do wish it had water, but I would absolutely stay again!!
