This was the first time for Us to stay in the Campground, Everyone was pleasant and we enjoyed it. What we didn't enjoy was the FOUL and VULGAR Language from Other Campers close to the Pool, and grounds. It was brought to the Owners attention and they didn't do anything about it. We Will Never Come Back Up.. to this location. Sorry.

Beautiful campground, wonderful hiking. Silver Creek Plunge is fun to swim in. The only bad part is everybody seems to have motorcycles, side-by-sides and 4 wheelers; and the owners allow their kids to do a zillion laps on these machines right in the campground which makes it noisy. Although these days, I'm sure that noisy motors can be an issue in any campground.

I've been camping here since I was a toddler. Such special memories even though a lot has changed.

The Silver Creek area is so beautiful. But the campground is cramped. We had a lovely creekside pad, but it turned out to be lame. We had people walking behind our spot along the creek constantly. We had multiple people pass through our campsite to get to/from the creek. It felt uncomfortable and was annoying. We didn’t bother going into the Silver Creek plunge pool because so many people were there.

This was our first visit to this campground. Please put a direction sign on the roadway driving from Crouch to the campground. There is only a sign coming from the other direction. We ended up going way out the way and had to turn around. Our site was by the creek. Campground is clean. Our site has was large with a nice picnic table, firepit and a groomed spot for a tent. Lots of trees for shade and a pathway to the creek. Clean restroom and drinkable water close by. Silver Creek Plunge is in walking distance. They have ice cream and a few necessities, also there is limited cell service in this area. Bring your mask because no one does social distancing or mask wearing.
We hiked the Rattlesnake trail #032. Difficult trail that was supposed to lead to an old lookout station, unfortunately we weren't able to get there due to the trail not having any maintenance the last mile but still an amazing view.
