We stayed at silver lake Eldorado east for 2 nights and loved it. Lots of things to explore… there is a lodge by the lake with a grocery store, and you can rent some gear for water activities. But be prepared to be off grid, there practically no cell service in the area.. you can get weak connection here and there but if you need to use internet best place to do that is kirkwood meadows. It’s about 7miles away.
