Beautiful but people close together

Amazing views here. We got here after 6 and had to park close to others in an open area. Talked to them and they didn't mind. Everyone really nice. Lots of people here but the views are amazing. Very peaceful sitting next to Spring Creek.

Mid-autumn camping

The campground is very close to Silverton, about 1 mile off hwy 550 along county road 7. Not a lot of traffic or road noise. The road is gravel with some small potholes not worth mentioning. A sedan could make the drive easy. The campground is next to the creek, exposed to sunlight and has mountain views. You'll be driving and parking on small river rocks. A little bumpy but nothing too terrible. There are stone campfire rings, a toilet (bring TP), but no water (other than the creek) or garbage bin. Pack it in, pack it out. Very primitive, clean and quiet campground on a Monday in November.
