Very accommodating host, easy walk to the lake. Family friendly with quiet time hours. Cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen at state parks!

Stayed at Silver Dollar on Aug. 11th through 13th and it was fantastic! It was everything we were hoping and had wonderful weather. Will be back!

We really enjoyed this spot. It was within walking distance (5 minutes) to Turquoise Lake. It would have been nice to have lake views, but it was nice to be out of the wind. We've stayed at other sites around the lake and it can get really windy right near the lake. We loved our spot. The sites were spacious and even though the campground was full, we never felt crowded. The grounds were well kept and the host was super nice. Vaults were very clean. We were thrown a bit of a curve ball because the water was unavailable due to a repair that was needed, but we just packed in extra water. We would stay here again.

Our camphost, Trudy, was so welcoming and helpful. Despite the rain all weekend, the campground was clean and friendly. I know there are water issues at Turquoise Lake right now- the pit toilets were pretty bad. They were cleaned and pumped out and Trudy was checking them constantly, but we had pretty strong fumes all weekend. Not being able to fill our rigs with water or having a dump station available as we have in the past was a challenge, but Trudy did direct us to facilities to help us out.

Campsites on the inside of the car loop didn't have much privacy. Restrooms were very clean.

Silver dollar is located in an area with lots of standing water, so there were a ton of mosquitoes. No views, no breeze, and no easy access to the lake for water activities. The campgrounds near the lake are much nicer.

Camp host was very friendly and helped us get our bearings around the campsite and lake. The campsites had plenty of room for larger tents, and equipped with a fire ring and a grill. Campsites on the south side (1,2,3) are close to still water. This made for a lot of mosquitos at dawn. After applying bug spray it was not bad.

The campground is kept very clean so the campground host and crew are doing a great job. Just wish a campsite didn't cost so much. $28 per night for some ground to sleep on seems more than it should be in my opinion.
