People call it the “crown jewel” of the Oregon State Parks system, and once you visit, you know why. Silver Falls State Park is the kind of standout scenic treasure that puts Oregon firmly onto the national—and international—stage.

Waterfalls: Where else can you walk behind a waterfall? Check out the famous South Falls and see what a 177-foot curtain of water looks like from behind. It’s part of the Trail of Ten Falls, a spectacular, nationally recognized hiking trail that weaves through a dense forested landscape. The trail passes a series of breathtaking waterfalls along a rocky canyon, and descends to a winding creek at the forest floor. This 7.2 mile loop is considered to be a moderate hike, with an overall elevation change of 800 feet. Several connecting trails with separate access points make shorter routes. For everyone’s safety— absolutely no pets allowed on the Canyon Trail. Pets on leash are allowed on all other trails.
Boots, bikes, paws, hooves: The park offers more than 35 miles of backcountry trails for mountain biking, hiking or horseback riding (see guided ride info below). Bears and cougars live in the more remote park areas.
Daytime activities: The South Falls Day-use area has spacious lawns, barbecue stands, picnic shelters, tables, a playground, horseshoe pits, an off lead area for dogs, and a charming creek. Ever since the opening day in 1933, visitors have been using these grounds for potlucks, family reunions and weddings.

What can I say? Silver Falls is a magical place and everyone should experience it. You can just get lost in the beauty of it all. The cabins are small but comfortable with heat, lights, and beds. Covered porch is nice to sit and listen to the rain.
Traveler
Beautiful early fall days at River Bend.
Midweek, Sunday - Thursday the campground was maybe 25% filled. It was quiet! Leaves were beginning to turn colors, needles from pine tree were falling like rain.
The Santiam river is low at this time and was great for wading into, swimming if like cold river.
Kayaking the river - I dropped in at Cascadia - beautiful float back to River Bend - had to traverse quite a bit due to low water levels / avoiding the small waterfalls (5-10ft drops).

It's really a beautiful area a nice place to stay people are awesome really pretty the got everything,
GuideThis was one of my favorite established campgrounds I stayed at on my roadtrip through Oregon. The big trees are perfect shade and beautiful. The roads are perfect for biking and there’s a bike trail in the campground that leads you straight to the park. Bathrooms and showers are clean and well taken care of. There is an incredible trash and recycling center at the front of the camper ground. Campsites can be decently close to one another, so not secluded but that wasn’t an issue for me. Obviously with family’s there’s going to be noise early in the morning and late at night so just be aware of that. But I didn’t mind, and wish I could have stayed here one more night. Something I was also pleasantly surprised by was how the trees blocked excessive heat. There was a heat wave going on during the time I was there but I didn’t have a problem at all here. It was such a relief.

My visit to Musick Guard Station in southwestern Oregon was a truly memorable experience. Nestled in the remote Umpqua National Forest, this historic site offers a fascinating glimpse into Oregon's mining past. Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the guard station and its outbuildings stand as a testament to early fire protection efforts in the Bohemia Mining district.
Situated atop a forested ridge between Fairview Peak and Grouse Mountain, the location provides breathtaking views and ample opportunities for hiking. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the trails around the station, immersing myself in the serene beauty of the surrounding wilderness. What made my stay even more enjoyable was the ability to listen to music offline, thanks to Spotify MOD.
In such a remote area with limited internet access, having offline access to my favorite songs enhanced my hiking experience. It allowed me to relax and unwind amidst nature while enjoying my preferred music tracks. The Musick Guard Station itself offers a unique lodging experience, steeped in history and surrounded by tranquility. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it serves not only as a cozy retreat but also as a gateway to outdoor adventures.
Whether you're interested in history, hiking, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Musick Guard Station in the Umpqua National Forest is an ideal destination. I highly recommend visiting Musick Guard Station for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and history while enjoying modern comforts like offline music streaming with Spotify MOD. It's a place where past and present converge, offering a truly unforgettable retreat in Oregon's wilderness.
TravelerClean showers, private, lots of trees, clean site, hiking, swimmable water (3 seconds was freezing but easily adjusted), inner tubing, agate hunting in the river, 9 miles away from Safeway. If you have Verizon, you will likely have WiFi Connect. AT&T had poor connection. Super beautiful site.
Guide
Stayed here one night. It got pretty chilly at night. I never found a camp host. be sure to bring firewood as there was none for sale in the campground. I had a site on the lower loop that backed up to the river. It was gorgeous! The McKenzie river is like something out of a Disney movie. Site 17 is very small wouldn’t be able to accommodate more than one tent. Other spots on the loop were a lot bigger so better for larger groups. That said my site did have a cute little area next to river perfect for setting up some chairs and having a beverage just watching the river. Vault toilets no running water just the old pioneer pump no phone service with Verizon
Scout
Wonderful group camp that can sleep all your friends and relatives! Fun little bunk houses for the kids and a big covered area for cooking and hanging out. Big field for tents, frisbee, drum circles, etc. There is a great swimming hole right across the street and a good jumping platform just up the road at the next pullout. The hike from the campground up to the butte is great too.
LegendGeneral: Two loops with a mix of electric and non-electric sites plus cabins.
Site Quality: All sites have paved, level camper pads, a picnic table, and a fire ring. Reasonable separation/privacy between sites, although you will see and hear your neighbors.
Bath/Shower House: Bathrooms have been updated since our last visit six years ago. Automatic flush toilets and sinks. Soap dispensers and air dryers. They were clean. Showers are individual stalls with a bench and hooks for toiletries. The only thing missing was a garbage receptacle and there were signs indicating you needed to take your garbage out. I can only guess that previous campers abused the bathroom garbage, thus taking away the convenience for everyone else!
Activities: Highlight for us is the Trail of Ten Falls which, as the name suggests, takes you past ten waterfalls. The entire trail is just over seven miles but there are shorter loop options. The best access is from the day-use area but you can get there from the campground to add mileage. Pets are not allowed on this trail. There are paved bike trails and other backcountry trails that allow dogs and horses.
Our first visit to this state park was in 1990, and we returned in 1997 and 2017. We have loved it every time, even when it rains, as it does almost every time we visit!
ScoutThis is a well-maintained, "polished" campground, perfect for first-time campers or if you're still needing some higher ammenities. They have the nicest camp bathrooms I have seen, and include showers with hot water. They have a self-service area for firewood, ice, and firestarters that you can pay for with card or cash (only up to $5 bills) and then grab what you need. The trash area has a large compactor with recycling and glass bins.
Overall, it's enjoyable and provides a very comfortable camping experience. This is also a very family-friendly campsite, but that meant hearing screaming children well into 10 at night and early in the morning with little time to enjoy to sounds of being out in nature. Children would be riding their bikes up and down the campsite loop yelling and playing, again fine for family-friendly camping but not ideal if you're not there for that.
We stayed at campsite 85 which had little privacy with the neighboring spot of 83. Would be a good spot for a family or group of friends to book out both spots for shared space. Not many trees in ideal spots if you're here during rainy season and need to tie up some shelter. There were ants all over the campsite but they didn't seem to be too much of an issue. A group of deer wandering down the camp road eating plants, seems undisturbed by the presence of humans. Also had a small skunk wander up to our trash bag and try to get in.
This campground is an easy walking distance down a trail to access the trailheads, park, and lodge area (less than a mile). Your camp parking pass also doubles as a day pass to part at any of the surrounding spots in the park if you prefer to drive there.
LegendWe went to the campground to check in to our beautiful site on the river but the smell of smoke was so overpowering. We drove to service and realized the wildfire was very close and we would be just outside the evacuation area. We played it safe and cancelled. So sad we couldn’t stay, it was such a clean and beautiful campground!
ScoutCame to Silver Creek Falls fir 3 day family union, from Montana. Never seen such a beautiful area. Planning on coming back for a visit to relation and would love to camp fir a few days would like fees, length of time for tent area, shower, bathroom?

Have stayed in the cabins and tent sites here. Amazing waterfall trails and clean orderly campsites.
Scout
We stayed here for a couple days and had a really pleasant experience. Shelly the manager was really helpful and gave us many ideas for things to do in the area. I will definitely be staying here again.
LegendSmith Creek Village is such a great place for easy lodging in nature. My family stayed in one of the tiny cabins. The cabin was very clean and well kept. The cabin was nearby a few other similar cabins, but everything felt very private. There was nice walking paths and a large grass area supplied with lawn games.
We decided to take the easy route this particular trip and ate all our meals at the Big Leaf Coffeehouse. The food there is fantastic and the building has a cozy lodge vibe.
Another thing that I loved about Smith Creek Village is that although the Silver Falls state park is always busy, Smith Creek Village is not. It feels like a hidden gem inside the state park. We definitely plan on coming back.
GuideThis campsite was spacious and a short 5-minute drive to the Trail of Ten Waterfalls hike. The park rangers are quite attentive and friendly. The bathrooms have outlets and are clean. They also have 3 showers, the shower head was interesting but gets the job done. Drivers must keep their cars on the driveways that are at each campsite but it was not an issue for us at all. Just a PSA. The only issue we encountered was raccoons. They didn't get into any of our stuff and were easily scared away, but even while talking by the fire at night, a couple of raccoons would join us. Harmless really. When we visited, there were a ton of families with children so it felt safe. We hiked the Trail of Ten Waterfalls but were told to do a loop for a bit of a shorter hike. (The full hike is about 8 miles, but the loop is about 6 miles where you get to see 7/10 waterfalls -- which are all so beautiful. We were told to do the hike in a clockwise direction. This allows hikers to go downstairs at the beginning of the trail instead of having to go up all of them towards the end of their long hike. I recommend stopping for a map of the trail to know which falls you are at. We enjoyed coffee, Italian soda, and huckleberry ice cream at the cafe next to the trailhead after our hike.
TravelerRv sites were quite private for a state park. Loved that the campground was within walking distance of the Falls. Clean bathrooms, easy to use firewood and ice purchase and super friendly camp hosts
ScoutThey say there's long term permanent spots. Yet they will move you from spot to spot tell you one thing then it be another. Don't trust them with your background regardless of what it is, it will be left out and your privacy will be violated and everyone in their park will know. Personally happened to me. And if you have a problem or an issue with something the management will ignore your phone calls purposely to not have to deal with whatever it is your calling about. I know this for I personally have watched it done by management. The management will yell at each other in front of customers of the park. And they are hardly ever in the office to be there if their needed. There showers and bathrooms are hardly clean with multiple people complaining about them they keep the bathrooms even during winter at 68°. There's black mold in the showers. The owners wouldn't allow the bathrooms to be fixed properly just painted. They are running to many washers and dryers in there bathroom the wiring ain't right and it keeps blowing fuse, the driers breaking down or the washers don't cycle through all the way and don't wash your clothes or they flood. Not only that but you won't get your mail there they love sending it back. No matter what it is if you end up having a problem with management. We had checks sent back, legal mail. Do Not Trust Shelly Allen the management
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We're so happy to have this property on our platform. There are plenty of amenities to choose from. Put the dates you want to stay and review some of the options they have. Check them out and leave them some love.
ScoutBeautiful. Perfect place for family. Great scenery. Very clean.
GuideThis is a beautiful campground with nice, shaded campsites. I was planning to stay a few days and hike to the waterfalls, but with an AQI in the unhealthy range, I will be leaving tomorrow. I hope I can get back here some day.
GuideI was finally able to make it out to this spot. The sites were clean with plenty of restrooms and showers. There are a couple of loops with many sites. Reservations are recommended as the sites fill up fast. Keep an eye out for cancelations; that's how we managed to book our site. There is a nature loop in the campground and Ten Falls is down the street.

My family loved the farm. We got to go on hikes, feed the animals, pick freshly laid eggs and explore the grounds. It was a super relaxing weekend.
GuideBook early for this one. It is right on a running river, with the greenest tree canopy. Every site is spacious, clean, and has a view. Plenty of places to hike and walk around. Not far from McKenzie Market for their restaurant and live music.
ScoutGreat camping, lots of shade for tent campers. Flushing toilets, showers clean. Multiple camp host. Reserve a spot !
Guide
Great campsites with fire pit and table. Nicely surrounded by forest. Clear lake is a nice lake for canoeing / kayaking. There is no beach. The boatramp is nice for small boats. It is a wood construction. Motorboats are not allowed on the lake. The csmphost is friendly and helpful. The site is fully booked in busy season.
ScoutVery nice state park.
