TravelerVery loud children on a Thursday night, but the campsites are cute and well maintained, all have a firepit, bathrooms close to everything. Bathrooms are smelly but clean. It is roughly $40 for a night tho. Recommend the lower #ed side of the campground.
TravelerHard to find the turnoff 410. Tiny dirt road leads to the river. Spots are close to each other. No T-Mobile service.
GuideBeautiful, clean campground. Short hike to river spots that are perfect for wading or fishing. 10 minute drive from Deep Lake which is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boarding. Great cell service if you have TMobile. Clean bathrooms and free showers. Friendly camp hosts.
GuideThis was a great spot right by the park for us to crash for the night. We pulled in on a Tuesday night and there were lots of spots open. Great sites with a table and a fire pit. Multiple bathrooms throughout the area as well. There are plenty of hikes and areas to explore, plus you can buy firewood right down the road if you want to cook or just hang out. It was pretty quiet, you could pick from secluded or more open sites. We slept in our rooftop tent and loved the nature sounds throughout the night.
ScoutI arrived early in the day on a Tuesday (around noon) and had no trouble finding a spot to park my van. I love the trees, and the short walk to the water. I will be coming back here for sure!
GuideGreat view. Pretty quiet and only saw 6 vehicles drive by. Lots of bugs.
ScoutBeautiful campsite, amazing trails just no cell service
GuideWe stayed here and heard maybe 1 car the whole day/night. Granted, we found a pull off into the woods.
TravelerWe have stayed a few times at Silver Springs and its one of our all time favorite . Recently stayed at site 13 and almost no one else was nearby.
Most of the sites are larger than average and mostly separated from the other sites.
There are two main loops (both close to the highway) and one dead-end loop on the southern side really close to the river.
The close access to several hiking trailheads, the White River itself, Goat Falls trailhead (almost no parking there), Crystal Mtn Ski Resort (open in the summer for Gondola rides to the top of the ridge with amazing 360 degree views and a restaurant (check for last seating times)), Sunrise Mt. Rainier entrance, and the rest of Chinook Pass, and close drives to Enumclaw, makes this a fantastic no service campground (public bathrooms with sinks on each loop).
There is a slightly hidden trail through the middle of the northern loop that we accidentally discovered this trip - it has a large group campfire / picnic area that would is not for camping but for day/evening use for a larger group with several picnic tables and cooking spots with a nice short and beautiful walk along the small creek inside the camp loop.
