This is a wonderful campsite on the Peace Creek. It’s at the end of the campground, so you have some quiet from other camper. If you are a tent camper this site is a bit of walk to the pit toilet, but I wouldn’t let that scare you! This site lacks shade during the day. Make sure you bring shade or be at the pool in the afternoon. It’s close to the river and even in August temps dipped down to the 30’s. Afterall it is Idaho! The pool at Silver Creek Plunge is an added bonus, and Cindy and Sean are lovely camp hosts.

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!

The campground is good, but getting there is horrible! The dirt road is too washboardy, bumpy, and in rough condition. Be prepared to go slow or risk damage to your vehicle or trailer. Even if you do go slow, the road is so bad you could still end up with damage to your trailer.

We always have a great time at Silver Creek campground. Campground and out houses are clean and well maintained. I’ve been going there for over 60 years.

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.

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!

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