Easy, accessible campground local to Silverthorne. Our family stayed here for a night in August and had a great time. I’ll start with the Pros: - beautiful views; it’s nestled right along the water you can easily access by walking down a path. Great for fishing/paddleboarding & kayaking. A popular spot for catamarans to float down. - each site has a fire ring, long picnic table, and bear box - There are several super clean vaulted toilets with toilet paper. The campsite has two main clusters of sites and each has 2 restrooms. we stayed on sites 9 & 10 and it was a quick walk. If you want to be very close to them I suggest staying near site 15-19. - dog friendly - reservations posted on pole in front of campsite - each site has parking right next to camp - large dumpster by toilets to dispose of trash Cons: - campsites are very close together and some are much smaller than others. We were fine in 9 & 10 because 9 is on the corner so no one was to the right and 10 had a bush that provided some privacy, but can be loud depending who your neighbors are. Thankfully, when we stayed there all noise had died down by 10pm. - no shade at all. Having a canopy is a must. - there is some minor highway noise, but honestly barely noticed. Not much at night. - can be a little buggy, wasn’t terrible - sites have a lot of holes from prairie dogs. Just something to be aware of so you don’t trip (have ample light) Good to know: - we needed to book a 2 night reservation for the weekend, but we’re only able to do one night. It cost around $45. You need to check in by 12pm on the 2nd day of reservation or your campsite will be given away. - the weather was saying 0 chance of rain, but we got poured on 3x throughout the afternoon. The wind blew our canopy off so make sure you have good stakes and rain gear. It passed quickly. - no water, must bring your own - didn’t see any bears but it’s bear country so prepare accordingly

This is an absolutely beautiful place if you're looking to get away from the city and go and just try to relax and go fishing you can camp here they do have bathrooms and they are dog friendly with picnic tables and fire rings. It is $20 a night to camp not bad

We stayed here last night, not our favorite. Camp spots are so close together. The people on our left were taking up half our site by the time we got there, and the group on the right had dogs that barked all night. Lots of mosquitos. But close to town and pretty views, fun to be by the water too.
