This is the most beautiful campground, and the hikes are gorgeous with breathtaking views!

Campground was very well kept and the other campers were super nice and helpful! But the real treasure is what’s around beautiful scenery, hikes near the campground were amazing and the lake was refreshing. I would definitely come again!

Great Camping. Spacious spots. We fit two 4-6 person tents and could've put 1 more. No BBQ,s as there is grill over the pit. The bathroom was not too far from us. Host was very nice. Kept the bathrooms clean plus loved his dog. Went early October and had some rain it was Chilly but so beautiful. Finally able to camp there and now my Favorite Campground in the El Dorado National Forrest. Never camped on the HW. 88 side. I usually take a weekly fishing trip there as I don't live far away.

This was my first real camping experience lol. Don’t judge me 🫣. The Host was so nice. He had a really nice dog and I am saying this because I am not always friends with dogs and yes, that was the first dog I ever touched or played with. The camp was so cool and the only disadvantage for me was the bathrooms. I hope sometime, they have better bathrooms in the future. We were so lucky it wasn’t all smoky on Saturday and we took awesome pictures.

Silver Lake East national campground had just opened a few days before our June 28th camping trip. They have both reservable and first come first served spaces. There are three or four loops in the east campground. Is it just recently rained and the flowers and the smells were quite delightful. The campground was dry as they were repairing several leaks in the water system. The toilet facilities were still open and not affected by the lack of water. You may find it easier to get a reservation here. Silver Lake is a beautiful lake! It was very high this year with the recent rain. The campground is contiguous to kit Carson resort. We hiked the pothole'd hike downstream from the reservoir. Absolutely beautiful! You'll want to take that hike. It's not demanding. Although it does take you through a. Section of last year's Caldor Fire.

Beautiful place. I’m pretty sure I seen a wolf roaming around that campground in the off season this year. I’ve seen a lot of coyotes in my life but I’m pretty certain it was a wolf. It was larger and lighter in color overall than most coyotes I’ve ever seen. Silver Lake is one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

Silver Lake off Highway 88 is a beautiful alpine lake with many trails for fun off the water, it also offers great fun for kayaking and boating.

Had a great time here for two of our three nights... but on our third morning the campground host hits us with unexpected news! Even though he'd been by our site every morning and evening for two days he waited until the absolute LAST MINUTE to tell us our spot was reserved for later that day. We didn't know that, the sign posted had only said that the previous reserved group had moved spots so we were able to get that area in the first place. So on the Fourth of July of all days, we had to spend 2hrs packing up all of our stuff and going to another spot in the grounds. To make it all worse, the group it was reserved for? They were no-shows! We tried to find the host for a partial refund due to all of the inconveniences that we were put through but the old guy just happened to be missing from his area for the whole morning we were packing. That's right, our new spot was right by the camp hosts and he disappeared Monday morning. Ugh. Sad first time visit there, but hey, at least they had plenty of bathrooms and running water I guess... -_-*

Nice campground here set among the trees. Close enough to hike over to Silver Lake. Lots of campsites some are ♿️ handicap accessible. Lots of early morning folks head over to go fishing. Beautiful high Sierra lake that is good for swimming and waterskiing after a morning of fishing. Very cool / cold nights. Tent and RV spots.

Too many people. Lots of garbage:(
