Confirmed by 2 users | Last reported on April 28, 2021Nice place but very tight. They use a fork lift to position your travel trailer in place. Barely room to park tow vehicle. They rent boats and sell fishing licenses. Nice lake with beautiful views. Rainbow trout are abundant and I caught my 5 fish limit both days I fished.

Went for the trout season opener was a blast resort is well kept, Very clean and the spots are pretty flat barely had to level my RV. Beautiful views! Silver lake is right across the street and fishing was great. Also has a general store and cafe on site also.

I was debating but gave it 5 stars since you have to look at the overall pictures. We are not the so called "RV dwellers", we are out being active most of the day so the obvious did not really bother us.
The cons are very tight sites, no privacy what so ever, "Awning on the neighbor" sort of thing.
Great staff, clean sites rules are kept and IMHO great location. Sewer not always convenient as in some sites it goes up rather than down, but easily fixed.

Despite the beautiful backdrop, I’m not sure I would want to stay here again. Most of the spaces are so tight, back to back, and so close to your neighbor that you have absolutely no privacy. Every window and door faced another rig. Unless you are fortunate enough to get a space in row A (closest to the road) or row E, which is up against the hill, they will need to position you into your space with a forklift. In these rows: B,C or D, you will need to park your tow vehicle in a small parking lot. It gave me an anxious feeling, knowing that if I had an emergency at home, I would not be able to leave on my own without their forklift service.
Many many of these sites are booked year after year by retirees who have first priority and can stay for a long stretches of time. Therefore, it is difficult to get into this campground. There is a general store and a restaurant on site that serves breakfast and lunch.
The surrounding area is beautiful and right across the street from Silver lake where you can fish from the shore.
Because the sites are so close together, there are no campfires allowed, only propane and you can’t have it cranked up to a maximum flame.
There is no Wi-Fi at this campground, but I had a good signal with my Verizon service. Also, because it’s filled with older folks, there are no real partiers/screaming kids, or people to keep you up at night.
One other thing to mention, you can’t use their bathroom or showers unless you pay a fee.
