We greatly enjoyed our stay at Silver Dollar. The camp host was very welcoming. Mostly we enjoy all the trees in our campsite and how spaced out the sites were. The other sites were close enough that we didn’t feel alone but far enough that we still had privacy. Loved the large amounts of trees spaced out enough for our hammocks too. Beautiful campground!!

On the positive first, nice very wooded campground which is increasingly rare in CO (nice side story though, our meager 170w solar panel never let the batteries dip below 2/3 even though our site was heavily treed). Our site had no one on the driver's side or behind (but there were trails that were used about 50' away). Due to trees and slopes we couldn't put out the awning (campground table, fire ring, and grill were directly behind the trailer and trees blocked the awning which would have been on a slope anyway). No problem with the dinette slide out on driver's side. Downsides--we were next to the bathroom, not a huge deal because most campers were in RVs so not used a ton and only got whiffs a couple times outside. The site is sloped quite a bit so use of a 2x6 and leveler ramps still didn't get us completely level. Also, other reviews are correct you can only enter and exit from opposite direction of the one-way campground road which created an awkward traffic jam on set up. I would not highly recommend this particular site for an RV but it is doable and convenient to the trail leading to the lake. I'll add that some of the lodgepole pines in the campground are exhibiting beetle kill so ultimately this campground will probably be clearcut like other areas around the lake. We love Turquoise Lake so regardless, you'll have a great time.

Great spot! Large camp site and lots of shade. It was pretty quiet through the day and night. Would recommend and visit again!

We had a great time! Campsite was great and bathroom were clean. Easy and short walk down to the lake. We brought a paddle board and the water was calm enough to go out on. We love it!!
