Although the reservoir was half way full (or empty), the whole area is fantastic.

A beautiful campground, we only walked through it so if you're planning on coming here to camp check before you come.

Beautiful campground. For some reason i thought I could walk to lake easily..... not the case, quite a trek.

Nicely spaced campsites in thick aspen groves but no scenic views from the sites. The kiosk map at the campground entry show 3 loops but one is a group site. The campsites are located very high above the reservoir so no lake side sites but there is a trail down to the lake. Silver Jack reservoir is extremely low in August 2021 with many side bays compltely dry. Not nearly as beautiful as it must be in early summer. Be sure to walk to the observation site for a high view of reservoir. Directly across from the road turnoff to the Observation-Day Use Area is a road to Rowdy & Clear Lakes - rough road but pretty spot to hike-fish. When we camped there was heavy smoke from California's wildfires. Silver Jack campground hosts were very friendly, kept clean (vault) bathrooms. Campground had water, no bear boxes unfortunately, easy fire wood collection from the ground and hosts also sold firewood bundles for $10.
