"Not the greatest for tent camping but we made it work. We pulled up past the main location where the dirt mounds are."
"This BLM dispersed camping spot was easy to find, very quiet, dark at night to enjoy the dark skies and stargazing!! You can't swim in Lake Abert, but the view and scenery is fantastic."
"There’s only 3 spots and no restrooms. Great little swimming area for the kids and plenty of crawdads. Road is a little rough getting in."
"BLM road has 2 areas marked but room for more. Keep right to parallel the highway and you get out of sight and sound. Dirt road has potholes but we pulled 24 ftMH with tow no problem Beautiful view"
"Travel down a gravel road for approx 5 miles mostly smooth a few wash out spot but easy to navigate around to arrive to a sparkling oasis."
"what a joy to find this hidden gem. Camping next to the water, fire pits tables and pit toilets. Clean and fun to explore around the reservoir."
"It’s a long drive up the hill to get here too but the views on the way are great. Fill up on water when you get to the little ranger station so you don’t have to pack water up the hill."
GuideThis campsite is dry camping. Silver Creek may be dry, as it has been since 2021. No facilities other than a picnic table. No Cell, No WiFi, etc. If you like totally 'being away from it all,' this is your place, if you can get there.
LegendAs we were driving on along Highway 140 near Adel, it was getting dark and we needed a place to camp overnight. I used PRO map layers to navigate a little way up Hogback Road / CR 3-10 toward Plush and found this handy turnout on BLM land. The night sky with Milky Way was amazing and we didn't hear any traffic during the night. In the morning, we awoke to a beautiful sunrise and sounds of migrating birds taking flight from their nighttime stopover at (mostly dried up) Crump Lake, across the street. We also enjoyed watching a herd of Bighorn sheep grazing by the side of the road. This site was free and fine for one night if you're in the area, but don't expect any privacy or amenities.
TravelerNot the greatest for tent camping but we made it work. We pulled up past the main location where the dirt mounds are. We found refuge for the night off one of the little pullouts and set up camp right by the water. Highway was a little noisy but nothing too bad as it was quiet in the middle of the night. Sunset was perfect. We saw a Coyote on the hill leading to the scarp. 10/10

GuideNo indication of camping here. The last turn off is blocked by a barbed wire gate and there’s a house at the end of the road.
ScoutExcellent sunset view. We took a smaller 4wd RV here and the road got really rough right after this spot.
RangerI’m sure this area is beautiful during the right time of year but we pulled up, walked the premises before setting up camp and decided to find another location. The grounds were dirty and the smell of urine and wet see weed (there wasn’t any but were from Texas so I KNOW that smell) overpowered the site for us. It’s also pretty open from the highway so for security purposes we won’t be staying. We like to be a bit more secluded and tucked away:
RangerThis place does get busy so come early for a good spot. If you stay by the creek, expect mosquitos. It’s a long drive up the hill to get here too but the views on the way are great. Fill up on water when you get to the little ranger station so you don’t have to pack water up the hill.
GuideYou CANNOT swim in the lake, very closed to the road. Only 3 good view spots unless you stay at the lot right on the road. Not a great camp stop but fine for overnight
