Silver Creek has been our favorite campground for many years. This year we had 3 generations there and had a great time. The whole campground, camping spots, swimming area and store/office all were clean and 'spruced up'!! We will definitely be back next year!
The only issue was getting your Reservations made!!! Recreation.gov is not the easiest to make a Reservation or to make any changes to an existing reservation or even to determine how to do it right the first time!! But we I did it and we will be back!!!

The group site was not very big. There was only room for one tent. The grass was knee-high. And the ground on the site was very unlevel so having more than one tent was very hard for my family. Over all the site was nice. There were activities but very expensive. Most people swam in the creek because of the cost to swim in 100 degree weather. Will not be going back ever

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.

Our favorite large group site around. It's private, set apart from the main campground with enough shade for everyone to stay cool. The shallow bend in the creek by the beach is perfect for little ones to play in the water or to set a canopy up and chat with your feet in the creek. We look forward to it every year!

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.
