Silver Creek-truckee

State Park

This state park has enough sites that are spread apart enough to give some distance. Not all of them but enough if you choose wisely. We also loved the fact that there was a creek that goes through the area with a nicely maintained path and foot bridges alongside. Conveniently located a few minutes from Truckee which has everything you would need from gas, restaurants, hardware store and even a DMV. The lake itself is also a nice touch to be able to swim or fish.

Perfect balance

Great family camping.  Lots to do within the park: swimming, biking, hiking, paddle board rentals, fishing and great campsites.  Most campsites are pretty big. Campground has flush toilets and showers.  Easy access right off highway 80, close to town but still feels like you’re in a remote campground under the trees.  Our favorite campsites are #116, 118 and 120.  When we get together for family reunions, the best group campsites are 104-106.
