Silver Dollar

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.

The driveway in the site is listed as 30 ft. This is most untrue. It is 20 ft at best. We had to leave our boat at the ramp parking area overnight as there was not enough room to fit it and the truck together. There are two grills. One elevated with a griddle which could be useful, though we did not. The other is smaller than we are used to and the grill, while the height is adjustable, it is unable to be rotated out of the way as with many other sites. The vault toilet was very clean and the boat inspectors were very nice.

This site is well-shaded and flat. It took some manuevering to get a pop-up with a car, but it's doable. The toilets are easy walking distance and extremely clean. There's a beach by the docks which is walking distance from the campsite. The cost of parking at the dock is included in the fee for the campsite. That's not overly clear and the guard didn't explain that, but some other campers did. There are a lot of mountain biking trails, and beautiful hiking trails very close by. If you're a golfer, there's a golf course a short driving distance, and at the bottom of Mount Massive. We enjoyed our stay.

staff was very helpful otherwise I would have given it lower marks, Bathrooms were by far the stickiest the best was Arapaho basin followed by Belle of Colorado then Molly brown and a long way back on bathrooms was silver dollar plus it is the worse location but there is nothing they can do about that unless you're a mountain bike rider then the location is fine, .25 mi walk to the lake one way.

The view and campground were absolutely beautiful.

I would have rated 5 starts but my group and I got harassed and discriminated against by an older woman and man who stay near the boat ramp/extra parking lot by the lake.

We brought my street legal and plated Honda grom and when turning around by the lake, the woman came up to us very angrily yelling that we cannot have that by the lake at 8pm and that it's illegal. While trying to explain to her that the motorcycle was street legal, she said that the campground was for people who pay to stay there. I informed her that it's rude to assume we didn't pay, as we paid for 5 campsites in silver dollar. The older man arrived shortly after and immediately got in my face (i'm a woman who is 5'1) and put his hands in my face yelling that he was going to evict us all from our campsites. I tried to get a clear understanding, but they were being super unprofessional, they would not give me their names even though they said they work for the district, and they could not show me any signs that showed we were not allowed to have a motorcycle there. They became hostile until they realized my friend and i were both recording them on our cell phones. After that they said to just go on our way, but they showed up at our campsite later to harass us more. Once i told them I was going to report them, they finally left us alone.

We love it here....woods, close proximity to the lake and biking trails.
