Silver Lake Park - Maple Creek Campground

I'm really impressed by this campground! County campgrounds can be hit or miss, but this one was great! It's very well maintained--I noticed the maintenance crew and park staff were always cleaning, mowing, and doing whatever tasks around the campground on a daily basis. There was enough trees and shrubs between sites so it didn't feel like you're on top of one another. Restrooms and showers were clean. Cell service was very spotty, but present. A bit better with a phone booster. Stayed 6 nights. There's a laundromat in Maple Falls if needed (although it's quite expensive!) North Fork Brewery a few miles south of town has delicious pizza. This campground is about an hour away from Heather Meadows/Artist Point, so it is a bit of a drive if you're doing any hiking that way. Would stay again.

Clean, quiet, relaxing and well done.

Great campground. Love the lake. Easy access for our kayak. Beautiful lake for fishing as well. The cleanest restrooms and showers that I have ever experienced camping. We have been here three times now. No sewer, but the dump area is quiet and efficient. Beautiful woods and hiking available as well. We will be back.

Serene and Beautiful

FIrst time here.  Beautiful, serene and peaceful.  Only disagreement involved a chipmunk.  We just decided to agree to disagree.  :)  Had wonderful neighbors.  Lake swimming area is walkable via a trail that runs behind the sites.

Great for families

Recently redone sites,, with new bbq/fire pits. New gravel around the site. We had a great time, most of the sites are very big with lots of room some more private than others but over-all I'd rate a 7/10 for privacy. Very shaded spots too. The walk to the lake isn't bad. Bathroom facilities were okay, showers were not working and one was out of T.p. the whole time. The grounds are great for kids to play, lots of fields, and creeks to explore, and perfect for family bike riding or skate boarding.

Full of Memories

this campsite is one of my favorites. Its located right next to the lake, there are spots for tent camping as well as RV camping and for years we book an RV site but pitch our tents there because you can fit 3 tents on one site. There is a little shop open on the dock for any essentials you might need or have forgotten. There is great fishing, boats you can rents, life jackets you can borrow.. it’s all great. My family goes every year.
