We LOVE coming to Silver Lake RC every year! They are more than accommodating, friendly, and reasonable! With spotless facilities, clean campsites, and no mosquitos!! We always look forward to going and are always bummed when we have to leave. Only a quick 5-10min from the dunes makes this place a perfect spot! WE LOVE YOU SLRC!

Mostly good experience and clean amenities. But the quiet time top flight security guards are annoying. OWNERS, READ THE REVIEWS. 2 people complained about noise and 100 people complained about being policed to be quiet after 11. It's a campground. If you don't like noise, stay home. Sitting around a campfire talking with your family is what it's all about. I understand no music after 11 but no talking around a campfire? Get real.

This is the nicest private campground we have stayed at. The bathrooms were sparkling clean and the sites were so big with beautiful trees throughout the campground. The camp store was stocked with everything you could need. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We will be back. If you don’t have a camper they have tge cutest cottages. Definitely check them out. And they are so close to several family fun spots.

Thank you, Silver Lake Resort and Campground family, for creating lasting memories during our stay. Whether chatting with Don or greeted by Tammi's heartfelt smile and enthusiasm, it’s clear that you and your entire team's kindness are some of the many reasons we return year after year. You treat guests like family, and for that, we are truly grateful. We appreciate your dedication and hard work which is reflected in the meticulously maintained grounds and bathrooms. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for always making our stay an exceptional experience. -Theresa, Mike, and family

A great campground. Judging from the other area campgrounds, we had the nicest. But just because I feel this is the nicest, doesn't mean the other campgrounds didn't look great, we just had a great experience. Check in was easy and quiet times are followed by the guests. The only problem we experienced was the vehicles parked at the cabins would constantly blind us at night while enjoying the campfire. I might suggest a site that is not on the end of the row near the cabins because of this. The office has a great store with a lot of necessities like Mike and eggs as well as candy and soft drinks. There were also flip flops, and fire starters as well as some other things that help make the stay that much better. The firewood for sale is reasonably priced and stored in a shed to keep the wood dry. The pool area is very clean and was a very pleasant experience. The location of this campground is close enough to the dunes, but far enough away to give it a nice woodsy experience. The lots unfortunately are not paved and are quite uneven. Plan for some blocks or planks under your tires to help level your trailer. There appeared to be wireless Internet available here, but we were able to use our star link for Internet access. Many thanks to all the staff for making this a great experience and we will definitely put this campground on our list of places to return to.

Sites are the largest ones we’ve ever stayed on! Lots of room for your RV, tent, vehicles & toys! Clean cabins but the Cleanest bathrooms ever of any campground! The staff plays movie’s different days of the week under the pavilion, the pool is clean, the store has all kinds of great selections and office staff could not be nicer! The park is located in a great area close to town where’s there’s all kinds of fun things to do. This is a MUST stay when you’re in the area!

Enjoyed our stay! Clean and safe, the boys brought the boat and gear to chase Salmon. Plenty of room for it all. I stayed in camp for rest and recuperation - plenty to be had! If you need basic items - the general store on-site is a great option! The reason for 3 stars is the 11:00 curfew. Gate closes… No entry until morning. Extremely inconvenient for late fisherman.

Great private gated campground, very accommodating when booking. The pool is always clean, as are the showers and bathrooms. My kids love playing on the playground and gaga pit. They have hammock stands also. My family have been going here for 4 years and we just realized they have a small laundry room. It came in handy after 2 days of rainy weather. Nice little store/souvenir shop connected to the office. Close to the sand dunes and other attractions. The small town of Mears is less than 5 minutes away.

Overall great experience. Bathrooms were clean and my kids loved the pool and playground. We stayed in the cabins and they were clean and the sites were a good size with ample parking. Would be great if they removed spring door pull from screen door so it didn’t slam shut so loud. Quiet time is after 11pm but in reality it was more like midnight, which was slightly annoying but otherwise my family had a great time here.

This is a great modern place to camp! Staff are responsive, after I got the owner Don involved they were very accommodating. This place has all the amenities, pool, playground and best of all modern showers that you actually want to get into. My boys loved the fish pond and warm pool! I loved the hot coffee and closeness to the bicycle and OVR trails. Wish they had a dedicated EV charging but the 220 was at 7.5 Kw so just as nice when available. Thanks Don and staff we appreciate all the efforts to make this place stand out. You have a good thing going here. Wish you all the best! ~Andy

We visited Silver Lake Resort and Campground in July as we travelled around Michigan. The campground was fantastic. Very close to the dunes and town. The sites were huge so you can store your camper, vehicle, and off road vehicle. There were several full time sites all looked very well kept. The common areas (pool, bathhouse, pavilion, playground, etc.) were in great shape! We enjoyed playing Gaga ball in the sand!

The facilities are clean and in great working order. Lots to do on site for kids and adults. Staff is super friendly. We had issues with our camper upon arrival val and set-up and the staff worked with us for 3 hours to get things remedied. Camping lots are a good size. Fire pits are a little small but okay for sure. Our particular site is okay for shade but many are not. The pool is open late, which is pretty nice. We are enjoying our stay here for sure. Super close to the dunes and town.

First time to this area, absolutely loved this campground! Very clean! Bathrooms and shower houses seem to be recently updated. Tons of outdoor activities for kids and adults alike. Camp store has just about everything you could ever need. Laundry facilities were very clean and nice to use. Very close to Silver Lake and the dunes and Little Sable Point lighthouse. Quiet hours were observed without difficulty. Spacious sites for full hook up. Everyone was very friendly. Did we mention how clean it was? We will definitely be back!
