Silver Lake Resort & Campground

Silver Lake Resort & Campground accommodates RVs up to 68 feet with full hookups and operates from May through September. The family-owned facility requires reservations and enforces quiet hours starting at 11 PM, which campers consistently note helps maintain the calm atmosphere throughout the property.

The campground features level grass sites, with some positioned along the western edge offering neighbors on only two sides rather than three. Multiple reviewers highlight the exceptionally maintained restroom facilities. Alexander V. noted the "bathrooms and showers may be some of the cleanest campground showers I've ever seen." The property includes a pool, playground, and on-site pond where children regularly catch fish.

An on-site store stocks camping essentials, while the location serves as a practical base for exploring the Silver Lake Sand Dunes area. The campground sits within easy reach of Silver Creek village, where visitors can rent off-road vehicles for dune exploration. Campers seeking additional options in the region can explore camping near Mears for variety.

Book at least two weeks ahead during peak season, as the combination of maintained facilities and proximity to recreational activities fills sites quickly during summer months.

Great Family Experience

We love this campground for so many reasons. Clean and well maintained facilities for starters. Very convenient well stocked store on site with all of the essentials. Great bathroom setup. Beautiful park and pool for the kids. Friendly family owned, we feel like part of the family every time we visit. Reasonable but enforced quiet time.

First time camping

Great people and atmosphere. Some seasonal, some not. People were amazing help. Clean pool and playground. Plenty of stuff for the kids to do on-site and only a few minutes from all the activities with the dunes.

Visited here to ride the dunes

We visited here for the sole purpose to use as a base camp to ride the sand dunes. Was not disappointed. Clean and quiet. Good amenities. Close to the dunes and the village of Silver Creek. Rent Jeeps at the village.

Enjoyed our stay

We spent five nights here. We texted ahead to check in and the campground owner met us at the gate with instructions and directions to the gate. Sites were nice and level, we stayed at the western edge and only had neighbors to the sides of us. Campground was clean and serviced. You noticed the extra precautions that were being taken due to CoVid. Bathrooms and showers may be some of the cleanest campground showers I’ve ever seen. Quiet hours beginning at 11 are strictly enforced. Playground and pool are well maintained. My kids spent lots of time at the pond catching fish. The only bad I can say is we had a trailer problem and I couldn’t find anyone interested in assisting. Ended up having a family member driving five hours from home with tools and fixed it myself in the campground. Definitely would recommend this campground

Clean and close to the dunes!

Yes campground is very clean but not a lot to do here. There is a nice pool for the kids. It's a great place to camp if your going to be off doing things elsewhere

Bathrooms were very clean!

Super clean

Grass lots could be a little more level for those of us that are not equipped. The numerous showers are large and clean. There are cabins for rent and a ton of things to do nearby like hike the dunes. Rental cars are available about 20 miles away but plan at least 2 weeks in advance.
