Beautiful

Convenient, has a general store as well as a restaurant/bar. Staff is welcoming. Ports pottys, but there are showers.

We had a large spot right on the creek. Its less then a ten minute walk to silver lake. I’d come back again.

Horses! One of the few horse campsites with tons of great trails!

Lots of private sites; takes tents to big RVs. No cement or asphalt-all dirt. “Resort” is a bit of a stretch, this is no fancy “glamping.” Silver Lake, hiking, trails (tons!), kayaking, boating, fishing, swimming with ducks and geese, upper lakes to find. 8000 ft elev. some permanent loops with season-long residents. Open Jun-Sep. Has, market, bar and restaurant. There’s a few annual events i.e., BBQs, trail rides. Very kid friendly too. Bring your bike! Adjoins the El Dorado NF Allen Camp trailhead.
