Pool is closed on Wednesday for cleaning,
I wish they opened one hour earlier in the morning, so the warm pool can be enjoyed while the day is cooler. And I wish the evening hours extended till 9p on the week days for the same reason. I understand that the hours on the weekend Friday & Saturday are till 9 or 10p.
We camped in site 17 a double site with 2 tables. There is no shade here so we brought 2 shade structures...one over one of the picnic tables and one over the tent with young children so they could hopefully nap during the day.

The bathrooms were clean and didn't smell. Having drinking water is a great bonus. We had a lovely time.

We enjoyed our time at the Silver Creek campground. It was a hot a couple days and the smoke from the Oregon and Washington fires found its way up there. We enjoyed fishing and wading in the creek and swimming in the pool during the evenings.

We had a great time! When we arrived the site was clean and was a great location. It was close to bathroom, close to water and close to the bridge to get to the main area. The fishing is great, the trout love powerbait and most active in the morning. The staff at the office were super nice and helpful. The pool was warm and although it was busy we still enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for a great experience, we will be back!
