Silver Lake Rec Area

County-managed Silver Lake Rec Area surrounds a fishing lake nine miles west of Forman City Park and Campground, operating from May through October. The campground divides into three sections around the water, with sites featuring gravel pads and electric and water hookups that campers share between neighboring spots. Each utility post provides both 30-amp and 50-amp connections, though adapters may be needed depending on neighbor usage.

Sites near the shoreline offer direct water access under scattered trees, while a swimming beach and playground serve families. Cell service runs weak throughout the area. The facility includes restrooms, showers, and a dump station, plus allows pets with cleanup requirements and restrictions in certain sections.

Mostly perm campers

But they are very nice and friendly and I ended up with the best spot ever as it is right on the water and under the only few trees available. There is actually 3 campgrounds and they surround the lake. Some of the nicest tent spots I've seen. Small Frisbee golf course and not much formal hiking but you can boat on this lake and lots of fishing from the shore. Poor cell service but lots of open sky and the sat service is killing it today.

Beautiful campground

Very nice and well taken care of campground that surrounds silver lake. You could tell that the groundskeepers take a lot of pride in how well kept it is. Our site had a gravel pad that required very little leveling with very nice grass surrounding it. Our site had water and electric hookups however we shared a post with our neighbors and each post had one 30 amp and one 50 amp plug so you’ll need an adapter if your neighbor is already plugged in to 30 amp service. There was a very nice swimming beach and what appeared to be a new playground for the kids. There is a north section that is apparently for quiet people that don’t stay up late and south section for all the others. Dogs are welcome but must be cleaned up after and kept out of certain sections of the campground. I will defiantly be back
