AMAZING!!!!

Campground was one of the best I have been to. Great location to the falls and trailheads, super clean, and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be going back this summer!

Well visited beautyi

This place is a lovely place to visit, especially when they are having a special weekend event. These happen year round. I visited at the holidays where they had wreath making, kids crafts, cocoa and more. The hike to the falls can be a little challenging, but it is worth the effort.

A tad busy, but nonetheless satisfying views...

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...

Great Family Camping and Hiking

The basics:

*Huge family oriented campground, great for family camping.

*Ice and wood available

*Wifi (spotty at best) available at lodge

*Garbage and all manner of recycling available

*Water available

*Friendly and accessible park hosts

*Very ADA accessible

A great family campground with a myriad of trails for all skill and comfort levels. I will note that many of the trails down around the falls are off limit to dogs which seemed a bit of a surprise to some folks out here; please check the online trail map before you go or be prepared to explore other areas of the park, there is still miles of fun for four leggers. If it is a summer month, assume there will be swarms of children riding their bikes through the loops from dawn to dusk, roving bands of ‘em.

The sites are very open, level and can easily accommodate multiple tents and gear. When the park is full there isn’t much sense of privacy at all as the sites are close together, but if you picked this place then privacy probably wasn’t your goal. My neighbor’s tent is probably 6 feet away right now. This trip all of the rangers have been very friendly and happy to answer questions.*Sidetrack... a friend stayed here once with their wife and was chided by the park ranger for having marital relations, in the middle of the act, in the middle of the night, sound travels easy here.

Restrooms and showers in “A” loop were updated recently, they are clean, regularly maintained and have 3 double plug outlets for use for charging those batteries etc. There is a playground in the RV loop in addition to there being one over by the swimming hole on the park side of things. The swimming area itself has almost no current (in low summer season) and is perfect for a lazy afternoon and tubes.

Came here with family so there was a variety of ages and everyone had a nice time. Plenty of wildlife here too, so watch your dog bowls, a Stellars Jay was using ours as his personal bathtub and eating trough. Rabbits in the morning by the bathrooms, all kinds of birds, garter snakes by the stream, anthills the size of babies, a deer family waltzing through at dusk and of course a menagerie of insanely cute chipmunks and tiny squirrels. At night the raccoon(s) will come through and take anything not nailed down, they aren’t fazed by humans, so best to just make sure everything is tucked in right before you retire.

One of my favorite State Parks in OR

Super nice Campground. Nice spots within walking distance of the falls. SUPER clean, nice, big showers which is a plus if you're doing a lot of camping. Enough trees for some privacy. Love it.

Surreal beauty worthy of a postcard!

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!!

Silver Falls State Park

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.

Ranger Review: Cotopaxi Bags and Water bottles at Silver Falls State Park

Campground Review: Hiking behind waterfalls... come on! This place should be at least a National Monument but then again if it was it would not have free hot showers!!! Electrical hook ups and water at your site.. stop spoiling us! Right time of the day the trails can be virtually empty. It also had an amazing recycling center in the campground. Go mother earth.... incredible. Gear Review: Cotopaxi 18L bags are epic. Very spacious and with a front zipper, inside pocket divider, they can store a good amount of stuff and still be organized. The vacuum sealed water bottles will keep your drinks cold even in direct sunlight for hours! Go Cotopaxi!

Busy!

It was pretty busy, and the campsites were pretty close together..! I would recommend staying here for only a night just so you can do the entire 10 waterfall hike! The trails, and everything is maintained very very well. It is super clean! Everything is so lush, and beautiful though~

Lovely park! Subpar campground

This park is amazing! Glorious trails, waterfalls. Check out the little store down the road. They have live music Friday nights and beer and ice cream are great after a long hike. We stayed at the campground our first visit which has zero privacy. I recommend the cabins at the conference center.

Beautiful Water Falls

Stayed here just to wake up and hike the 9 miles and see the 10 waterfalls. The spot we had was right next to the road, so it was loud and also there were a birds everywhere. We had to pack the car before bed so they wouldn't get to the food. They do sell firewood there, but the rangers who sell it aren't there past 4 pm. The hike was amazing though! Definitely recommend it.

Fun Inland Waterfalls

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.

Beautiful hiking, but very busy

Overnight trip in early summer. Beautiful hiking, waterfalls and delightful views. Hiking trails are easy and accessible to most levels of use. Unfortunately it is very busy all year round due to the proximity to Portland. Good camping neighbors but not a lot of quiet or solitude. I would recommend it for folks who want a quick jaunt with good views who don't want to face the traffic in the gorge.

So many hikes, so little time.

This is a very family friendly camp ground, so watch out for all the RVs and kids on bikes. But once you are out on the trail it gets peaceful and picturesque.
