Our stay at Silver Creek plunge was nice and quiet for the most part. We always have a nice stay in their campgrounds. We love coming up to this place to relax and swim in the pool. That is our grandsons most favorite thing to do. They did enjoy jumping into the creek in a deep spot as well. The pool is just the right temp not too hot, except on very hot days it does feel hotter, but its just the right temp to relax and work out sore muscles. We are sad to know that the owners are selling, but understandable. They are a nice family. We hope that the new owners will keep the cabins and pool area open to the public. If I had the money, I would buy the place.

Was a very fun place for the kids, rode around on our scooters. River was low enough in July to not have to worry. Water hookup available so you don't to fill up till you get there. Bring enough fire wood, affordable bundles in crouch. Dirt road can be challenging if people come down to fast as you're going up. Road could use some improvements around turns.

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.

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.

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