The pictures do not adequately depict this site. This whole loop of Silver Dollar is whacky. The sites are not level and many of the sites are facing the wrong direction if you're trying to back in a trailer. The positives are that it is close to the boat ramp and the sites are far enough apart that you don't feel like you're on top of your neighbor. The trees are tall and mature, which is nice, unless you're using solar to charge your batteries.

The campsite was remarkably quiet given that it was full for the weekend. There were a few mosquitos at this site, but nothing too bad (I was expecting worse based on past reviews). I was surprised to have reception at the campsite (AT&T towers).

This is a really nice campsite. Many sites are very close to the lakeshore. The camp host was very nice. I appreciate all the hard work the host puts into keeping the bathrooms clean.

Fire pits have not been cleaned ever. That permits high fire danger. Would not go back no water hosts were not very nice

The campground is well-maintained, and sites are nicely spaced apart from each other. The camp host was really great...friendly and welcoming. Vault toilets were cleaned regularly, and sites were clean...no trash from previous campers.

The camp host called us and left a message on our camper that generators cannot be ran during the day. The signs say quiet hours are from 10pm-8am and we had two dogs in our camper while we were at the lake. She was extremely rude about having a generator on and when asked about the quiet hours she replied, "That doesn't apply to you when I say so." I would also state that all 4 of our campsites had generators and only ours was told to turn it off which I guess was our alcoholic neighbors that would cuss and fight every night complaining. Also, All 4 of our sites were "standard nonelectric" and no where in the regulations does it say "no generators to be ran during the day." Overall I would rate Silver Dollar as a 2/10 with the interaction with the camp host and her complete lack of decency.

We were in site 10. An excellent site with plenty of shade and not too close to the outhouse. Easy walk to Turquoise Reservoir. The campground host never stopped by to say hello, but we did not have any issues other than one camper who ran his generator during the day.
