Great location and we love the creek and the convenience of the space and the bathrooms and water access all within the group site. It's also just a quick walk to the hot springs which is a big bonus of this campground. The hot springs staff was amazing and our youth group had a wonderful time. E3 Youth from Kuna, Idaho.

This was our second time there this summer. We will definitely be going back next year. Great campsites right next to creek and pathways linking our sites with the rest of our group

Silver creek is an amazing campground. The road to it is a slow forest road but trudging through the drive is worth it. Our campsite was perfect and felt like we were the only ones there. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The silver creek plunge resort is a lot of fun for the family . We wish we did the 3 day pass. We have already booked another trip up there

It takes a long trek on nearly 15 miles of washboard road to get to Silver Creek Campground, but it's a great place to relax. The creek was maybe 30 yards from the back of our campsite and it felt good to place our chairs in the water and cool off. It gets hot during the dog days of July and August but cools off at night.

It would sure be nice to at least have an electrical hookup. The temperature outside was over 100 degrees each day, and my A/C unit just couldn't keep up.
The staff over at "The Plunge" was excellent and helpful, when I needed an emergency supply of fuel for my generator. My extra fuel can developed a whole in it and they sold me additional fuel (not cheap but worth it). They were pleasant to work with and accommodated our needs.

We love the beauty and location of this campground. The last few miles of dirt road seemed to last forever, but it is adequately maintained. As a result of us showing up in the dark, we spent 30 minutes trying to find our site (#35) as it is not super well marked and is not where you would expect it to be (it’s just after site #3). We enjoyed the campground itself , but we’ll definitely reserve a different site next time. Number 35 is along the trail that goes across the walking bridge, so people were constantly walking through our campsite to get to the creek. Also the tent pad had next to no shade in the morning and afternoon (some shade later in the day). Loved the location, enjoyed the campground, just not a fan of site #35. (And for that matter, don’t reserve sites 36-38 unless you’re okay with zero shade and no parking right next to the campsite. The parking is probably 100 feet away.)

We’ve stayed for a few other times and as much as I want to give five stars, I can’t. This was the first year the outhouses were almost unbearable. The smell was incredible. I’m not sure if they’d been cleaned from the prior year. Otherwise we absolutely love this place!!!
