We had a wonderful time at Silver Creek. My sister and I have been coming here since we were little. Now we are passing it onto my grandkids. Love this place.

Seemed very private

The weather wasn't good. Rained n stormed for 2 days. The first day was great. We left a day early. We were supposed to be there 4 days. We left the 3rd day. Also glad I didn't have any pets because of the ticks. The store is way to expensive. We will definitely make sure we have enough wood if we ever decide to go there again. I'm definitely glad I had enough ice. 7$ for a bag of ice really? Staff were very friendly.

@DianePEB2FADF3 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #U18

Spacious, shaded and clean

@EmilyE1529861 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #U18

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

@EmilyE1529861 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #L4

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.

@BrandonS417195 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #G2

Great campground, great facilities. We used it for a youth camp and it went amazing. Kids really enjoyed the hot springs as well.

@AlexaJ582FCC67 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #L35

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 (its just after site #3). We enjoyed the campground itself , but well 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, dont reserve sites 36-38 unless youre okay with zero shade and no parking right next to the campsite. The parking is probably 100 feet away.)

Love this campground.

@McKaleeC959123 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #V9

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!!!

@TroyS54771AAD5 · Camped on Jun 24, 2023 at Campsite #L13

Campground was clean and well maintained. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. This was the noisiest campground I ever stayed in. Saturday night was kaos as expected. Sunday was better until a fifth wheel pulled in about 3pm and cranked on a loud generated and ran it all night long.

@ThomasJ3121113 · Camped on Jun 23, 2023 at Campsite #V1

Well maintained and great site.

@AudreyC5355771 · Camped on Jun 16, 2023 at Campsite #L35

It felt like we were camping at an apartment complex. Tons of people, an odd public pool, and children shouting and screaming. There were so many people crammed in there. It was loud as people were constantly walking around, shouting, and riding their ATVs. You drive up towards Cascade and see absolute beauty everywhere with the trees, the mountains, and the river. Then you go on this very long dirt road thinking the campground must be equally as regal. When you arrive at the campground, and find your space, it is cramped, crowded, and the “creek” is more like a tiny stream. Obviously we were very disappointed and won’t be returning.

@CandiY090A12AE · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #L4

The campsite was wonderful right next to the creek. Enjoy the watm swimming pool. we did see someone catching fish from the creek. And the owners at Silver Creek plunge are kind and welcoming and very helpful.

@BrianB7534319 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #U25

Love, spring creek, campground. Paved roads, no dust, people are always polite. Love having the Hot Springs resort nearby and the little store. Always my first camping of the year.

@DevonM7962081 · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #V7

Great people own the resort. Clean friendly.

@LindseyH734300 · Camped on May 25, 2023 at Campsite #V17

What a wonderful place! The campground is clean and beautiful. We stayed at V08 which is right on the river. There is plenty of shade and easy to back in spaces. The hot springs are so fun - they have light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. There’s even a small mercantile for last minute grocery items. The staff is lovely - they are so nice and friendly. We chatted daily about fun things to see close by and fishing - they are the best!! 10/10!!

@MartinG7975461 · Camped on Oct 23, 2022 at Campsite #V15

Other campers need to make sure their fires are dead out before leaving.

@JonathanK98137 · Camped on Oct 21, 2022 at Campsite #U21

Great camp ground!

@BrianP3895634 · Camped on Sep 24, 2022 at Campsite #V8

Campsite was great and camp host was helpful during our stay!

@KatieY4746266 · Camped on Sep 9, 2022 at Campsite #G2

The staff here are all great! I called a number of times with questions regarding our reservation and was greeted with a friendly staff member happy to chat every time. The group site (Cabin Creek) was large, clean and perfect for what we needed. The covered pavilion area easily would fit 30-40 people and tons of tables. My only complaint would be the dirt bikers/ ATV riders ripping through the campground all day every day. Riding around through the campground was dusty and loud. But overall the people working here and facilities were great.

@Kristeena12724 · Camped on Aug 31, 2022 at Campsite #U20

You can't run generator after 10pm. It was super quiet and for my husband's cpap machine. Other than that it was great.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
