Best Tent Camping near Silverthorne, CO

Stayed at the tent camp site. Very nice. Close to the bike trail which was nice, rode up to vail pass. Beautiful. There is some noise from the freeway but if you are closer to the river it shouldn't be too bad. The tent sites are hike in but it is not far to walk.

• 14 day/night stay max.
• $24 a night for tent or RV camping (there are way more hook-up sites over tent sites. Loop D is one of the two options for tent camping and I highly recommend any of the sites in that loop.)

Bring your fishing pole, SUP, kayak, or hammock to hang out by the lake. This is my favorite campground in Colorado for the accessibility to the lake and town nearby.

I stayed here in 2016 on a bicycle tour across America. It featured some fantastic views of the nearby lake and mountains and had very clean facilities. Only problem, from a camping in a tent perspective, is due to its location if a storm rolls in the wind can really hit from every angle. Otherwise the price is very reasonable.

Very open campground, we camped in a tent but probably better for an rv

Great spot about 10-15 minutes from Silverthorne. Easy access off of highway 9 and up a dirt road, just a little bumpy but easily cleared in my RAV4. Traffic from other campers throughout the weekend but overall a great place! Lots of Aspen and chipmunks and the sound of the creek was lovely. It looks like all the spots are pretty flat and have a fire ring.

Perfect location if want to hit up winter Park resorts and arapahoe basin, keystone, or breck!! You can take 40 to winter Park in about 50 minutes. And then can take other highway down into silverthorne in 45 min.
Spaces are tight for most part, try to get a end spot if possible. Showers and bathrooms are great and clean. The tent camping is like a 20 ft x 20 ft grass pad so i don't know what that is gonna do. Plenty of land behind for hiking and dirt riding!!

We arrived after dark and we’re mostly trying to find somewhere to camp. There are great views of the stars, the river is very close to the campground, and it’s only about 20 minutes from silverthorn. The spots are pretty close together and there is a decent amount of traffic noise during the day but it dies down in the night. The bathrooms are well maintained, there is trash located near them and each site has a picnic table and bear box. Overall a nice place for a quick getaway.

Me and my friend stayed in site 4 on a sunday night in october. Its a great small spot with 5 well established sites right off the forest road hidden in the trees. Its a short walk to lower cataract lake with a good loop.

The next morning we hiked the upper loop with Eaglesmere lakes, Tipperary lake, and Surprise lake. Being mid october the campground was very cold at night but it was empty and felt secluded even though only 35 minutes from Silverthorne. I enjoyed this campground and the area

I didn’t get to my tent site until almost 9pm so I really haven’t seen the place during the daytime. However, when driving around looking for the 3 tent sites I noticed how no one was out and with the truck headlights it seemed to look very nice.
