Silver Queen Campground

I stayed at campsite #1 with a 19' camper. I had a difficult time leveling side to side, so ended up being living with it. Overall, I loved the campground.

Had a lovely stay at Site 4, which is the closest to the very clean vault toilets and close to Maroon Creek Road. Tent pad is generally smaller than other campgrounds, but was able to squeeze a small 2 person backpacking tent and a 3 person camp tent.

I felt like I'd won the lottery when I snagged this campsite six months ago. One of the best campsites ever. Only six sites with four next to Maroon Creek. Loved having full access to Maroon Creek Rd so we could visit Maroon Bells as often and whenever we wanted. We're not fans of vault toilets but these were the cleanest we've ever seen with no odor or flies.

Gorgeous surroundings, spacious site, very clean restroom. Top notch camping.

The campsite is secluded, the sound of Maroon Creek drowning any noise from the road. The campsites are surrounded by Aspens and lush greenery and with views of Pyramid peak through the trees. The Vault toilets were clean. It does appear as if people book campsites but then don't show up. The campsites were mostly empty even though they had reserved signs. It was nice to have the place so peaceful, but it is disappointing for people who would have liked to come to camp but could not because of reservations made with no shows.

Beautiful, quiet campground nestled in the aspens! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in site #3, which had Maroon Creek just down the trail from our tent. It was so nice be able to walk down to the creek and to fall asleep to the sound of rushing water each night! The bathrooms were right across from the entrance to our site, and always clean. Bear boxes had ample space for our food as well. We fit a 16x10 tent diagonally on the tent pad. That would probably be the max size!

In my opinion, site #3 looked to be the best site as it was furthest from the road and had the creek in the background. It felt private despite having the restrooms across from the site. Site #6 has a pretty view of the Maroon Bells. Site #2 looks to be the next most private as it is away from the road too. That being said, with minimal traffic on the road I don’t think you could go wrong in any site at this campground! There are lots of trees between each site to make it feel more private.

Overall loved Silver Queen and would recommend it to anyone wanting to travel to the Maroon Bells. It’s worth it to camp here just to have unrestricted access to Maroon Lake and beyond.

One of our favorites

No water at the campground this summer so be prepared, but there were multiple posts and warnings about this so it was no surprise! Very clean, quiet campground that comes with easy Maroon Bells access- I tent camped here one night before backpacking the Four Pass Loop and it was so nice being just a few minutes drive to the trailhead parking. There’s a little road noise but it’s pretty quiet once the buses stop for the night and even when you’re not at a site right on the creek you can fall asleep to the sounds of running water. There were numerous deer passing through and one fox. Highly recommend! Pay attention to reservation release times and plan far ahead in order to get one of these coveted campsites.

Amazing spot!

Great location and the staff was very help full.
