It is off the beat and design for those serious golfers.

If you want to camp in Oregon this is the place to go. There are several waterfalls and hiking trails. You can see wildlife and you can't beat the beauty. You can tent camp and they also have yurts.

This is a great weekend location with Sweet Home and Green Peter nearby. This is also a great “first park.” Of you’re new to rv’s, this is a great place to try out the set up- all of the sores are in very good condition and easy in and out.

This is a Linn County park located just a few miles southeast of Lebanon and northwest of Sweet Home off the Santiam Highway.  The park is located along the Santiam River and apparently a good fishing spot as we saw several people fishing.  There are hiking trails in the woods and also a Disc Golf course.  Hook-ups for Electric and Water only, but they have a "waste water" (gray water) disposal every few sites where you can pour any gray water.  There is a sewer dump station located in the park.  The sites are spaced out nicely and the park is very quiet.

Stayed in Yurt #2 in the Yurt village on Fathers Day weekend. There was also a fishing tournament this weekend, so the park was completely full. The Yurt Village stayed very quite. Most noise was the Trucks/Boat coming and leaving the boat ramp which is about 400yds away. 

Yurt #2 & 3 are deluxe yurts. All this means is you get a larger deck and propane firepit. To use the firepit you need to bring your own propane, large 20lb style. The Yurts have solar lights inside and out, not sure how long they run, but they lasted us a weekend with conservative use. There is 2 pit style bathrooms in the yurt village. Bathrooms are located at the parking lot.

The yurt village is a ways from the RV/Tent sites. Not a quick or easy walk. 

Parking at the yurt village is a little walk from #2 and #3. Best to bring a wagon or such to help transport. Its about 100yd walk each way. 

There are 3 beds, one full side bottom with a twin bunk on top and one full size futon. There is a dining table and 4 chairs. There is no running water, bring your own water. I saw a fountain near the parking lot, but did not test it. 

While it says no pets, one other yurt had two well behaved dogs. The park knew and didnt stop them, so make your own decision with your pets but dont ruin it for others please.

Weather was pretty good for us. No mosquitoes, though lots of nats but able to sit outside all day without being bothered too much.

Probably the easiest accessibility to the most awesome waterfalls per few square miles in Oregon. Ample Parking and many different falls and trails to choose from

I was planning to potentially camp here but it seems that facilities were damaged in the 2020 fires and they will not be re-established

I had been in Oregon for a week to burry my daughter and was hit with terrible luck... My truck had been t-boned a couple of days earlier so I admit that it looked rough.  But I no excuse for what treatment I had received by the front desk.

I had started work for one of the largest company's in the area and was broke until I was able to get my first check due to burial expenses and and the unexpected high prices here in Oregon, and had been sleeping in my truck. Went in person to get a campsite and for once have a safe place to sleep and shower, with a side of laundry. Lol... When the guy looks me dead in the eyes and said he was all booked up for the next month.  I don't look like a drugged out homeless person, because I'm not, but I was instantly judged negativity and bold face lied to.

I should add that there were several people within sight that could've been the poster children of homeless dopers that were there and had been for a very long time.

I'm not 100% sure what the GOOD SAM thing is all about here in Oregon... But this place shouldn't be allowed to display the sign.  Never been treated like that openly to my face before.  

I called a day later and made reservations for a campsite for two days.  Can't wait to hear his explanation when I show up.  And especially when I inform my boss.  He may be having a run of bad luck, as I did.  Hope Karma does him right.

Oregon state parks have always been heads and tails above any other states we have visited parks in. It has been about 20 years since we were in Silver Falls and I would say they have only improved. This is one of the state parks where you can make reservations and it was a good thing we did as the campground was full when we arrived. The restrooms are very clean: hot water, air dryers, large mirror. There are showers but I didn't use them so can't comment on their condition. Some of the sites have shelters; snag one of these if you can because rain can come at any time in Oregon! Trails are extensive and well marked. Definitely recommend the Trail of Ten Falls, which can be done in two separate loops. The South Falls loop attracts more families with young children while we saw very few children on the north Falls loop.

No matter the time of year, Silver Falls State Park is an Oregon must visit! 

Top reasons I love this campground: 

• SOOOO much to see and do! 
• Amazing waterfalls (keep in mind they won't be rushing in the heat of the summer).
• Great programming 
• Beautiful lodge 
• Vast parks and play areas 
• Swimming

Did an overnight stay with 10 year old daughter. The campground is well managed. Staff were quite friendly. Trails well marked and maintained. 8.7 mile loop that takes you to the ten different falls. This SP is the busiest in Oregon. A former employee told 1.5 million visit per year. He was not kidding. Very busy, but if you wait until afternoon to hike the traffic thins out considerably...

This is one of the best places in all of Oregon. You can hike all around, swim, and even access the prettiest parts in a wheelchair! Also some campground activities like games and playgrounds. The camping is pretty straightforward and clean. There are “bunk houses” in addition to simple tent sites. There are some campsites next to a creek, if you are lucky! It is pretty crowded, so know what you’re getting into...but it’s worth it for the beauty. Get up before sunrise and get on the trails if you can!!

We stayed in the RV side in our trailer. The sites have good side to side privacy. If you are in good shape you can walk to the trail network to the waterfalls. We only did the Maple Ridge loop, but if you were more motivated or in better shape there's lots more falls to see. Sites have power and water. The dumpsite is up the road 4 miles, our next destination has full hookups so we didn't bother. We lucked out because we stayed Sunday, Monday. But rumor has it this is Oregon's most popular state park and weekends fill up FAST.

We tent camped two nights at Silver Falls. Tree lined campgrounds were well maintained. Sites are close together and the grounds are very social (which we like). Ranger led evening program was educational and interactive. The highlight of the trip was the 8+ mile hike to explore 10 different waterfalls. The hike was easy enough for our seven year old to complete, but tough enough to wear us out. We very much enjoyed a swim with other families in one of the final falls. The drive from Portland was gorgeous! It was nice to get a glimpse of rural Oregon.

THE most beautiful park in Oregon that we've seen! Hiked for 5 hours! BEWARE: It's WET, so bring your wet weather gear, and good, sturdy hiking shoes for slippery terrain. Saw all but the northern most two falls while hiking the trails. So many more to hike! Kids' play area inside Loop B, showers, and nature trails around the campground. RV dump at the horse camp turnoff. I'd try to reserve spots 9 or 12 (next to the playground and sunny spots) or 72 (next to the creek in the shade) next time! We rate this one an 8.

This is one of my favorite places to go in Oregon (there are many). The park has about 120 sites, it is ready for RV, Tents, Horses, Boats about anything you could want.

Dogs are welcome, however, some trails (like the Ten Falls) are not allowed.  Please pick up after your pet and keep them on a leash!

If you get a chance, do the Trail of Ten Falls, it is a spectacular, nationally recognized hiking trail that weaves through a densely forested landscape. The trail passes a series of breathtaking waterfalls along a rocky canyon and descends to a winding creek on the forest floor.

I went here for my BD a couple years ago.  We didn't camp here because my ex GF isn't into camping.  We stayed at the Oregon Garden.  This was my first time at both places.  As for Silver Falls, since this is The Dyrt, it is a very nice campground.  We were going to hike the upper fall loop but there was no parking.  She's not a big hiker either.  This was her second time.  What was supposed to be a 2 mile hike turned into a 7 mile Trail of Ten Falls.  She was a trooper and kept on going.  I think she was terrified but think she liked the scenery.

Since we had a wedding to attend in Oregon, it gave me a chance to visit Silver Falls State Park. My first impression was how crowded the campground was during the middle of the week. The bath house was more than I expected, especially for a state park. I don’t know whether or not the other Oregon State Parks have modern bath house facilities like this one, but I was impressed. The campsite that I chose was flat and had plenty of shade, and the trees were huge. As a lover of all things natural, especially trees, this was great. It hadn’t rained in a while, so I couldn’t judge how well the site would drain, especially since there were no raised tent pads. The main attraction for this large state park is obviously centered on waterfalls and trails. I didn’t get a chance to explore all of them, but the ones I did get to see were impressive. South Falls is a short hike, and you can walk behind it. From the bridge facing the waterfall, it looks like the Garden of Eden. You can also walk to the top of the waterfall. North Falls also is a short hike. Although it is not as high as South Falls, it is one that is worth the hike. The main campground areas were booked, but the group camping area had quite a few sites available the first day we were there. However, the next day, the group camping area was also filling up since it was getting closer to the weekend. Overall, I was impressed with this campground. Unfortunately, I probably will not get to visit it again for quite a while since I live 2,500 miles away. With that said, I do highly recommend this state park and campground.

The Baker Bay Campground and Marina is a county park outside of Cottage Grove, Oregon. It has a boat launch and boat rentals. There are several huge inflatable water structures in the bay which kids can play on for a fee. The concession stand is currently under construction however there is plenty of green space for picnics. There is a large play structure, horseshoes, and a sand volleyball pit.

Great site for families with kids.

Decent main restroom and showers however, the vault toilet near the main camping spots was the WORST I have ever been near. I can't imagine how people near the toilet could stand being there - especially in the heat of the summer.
