We had a great time. Sites are pretty tight for travel trailers but we made it work.

I loved this campground- site was well maintained and moderately private. Easy access to toilet/trash.

Campground was very nice, lots of shade and most sites were pretty roomy and not right on top of each other. You could hike to the lake easily, but a very short drive if hauling paddle boards or something. Close to Leadville if you want to pop into town and also giving good cell coverage.

The camp host was less than desirable so I will leave it at that. Was yelling at people on a utv that was lost and she didn't help them to where to go ride. In my years of camping I have NEVER experienced a host like that.

Well kept and clean campground. Great location and sites are well laid out. Just sad to see so many sites reserved but vacant.

Great site. Lots of room between the other sites and a bit off the road which is a plus. Was able to fit a 6 person tent down fine despite claims it was hilly.

Very quiet. Only issue was site relatively far from lake, but we found a way there. Staff at boat launch very informative and friendly.

My favorite site.#43. Big site with lots of tees and nobody on one side of you. Quiet and peaceful. Close to the walking/bike trail.

Our family had a wonderful experience at Silver Dollar Campground. We went Sun-Tues and it was very quiet. The lake was less than a 10 min walk down the trail. We saw a beautiful sunset and enjoyed paddle boarding off one of the many small beach areas. There is a lot of tall pine in this campground. Ground areas for tents had lots of roots so bring a good sleeping pad. Camp host was super friendly and kept the restrooms very clean. Overall an enjoyable experience and we would go back.
