I camped in a tent here, with a group of older Girl Scouts. We had a great time. Our fellow campers were friendly and there were not trouble makers. I would agree, the fact that there were no lines or visible boundaries delineating one site from the next made it confusing to know which side of the gravel parking spot belonged to which camp. We just guessed and I think we guessed correctly. Many of these sites are right next to the highway and train tracks, so bring some earplugs. This is one highway that does not have less traffic in the evening, so expect noise. The train seems to go by every hour some nights. .. earplugs are a must if you’re a light sleeper. The little office up front has toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other little necessities you might have forgotten. All of it is about the cost you’d expect: fifteen percent or so markup for convenience of walking over to get it. Showers are free, but they do not have the water heater capacity for the volume of people using the water. Either get in there by six am, or wait until after ten thirty at night to take your shower if you want even a few minutes of hot water. I did hear they are working on upgrading the water heaters, and making changes to the campground to make for a better experience, but not much needs to be done. The showers and bathrooms are cleaned every morning and night. We left our tents filled with clothing, daily use items like soap and face wash, etc., and food. Our interior flaps were all zipped down to allow for airflow while we were gone, so everything was visible. Nothing was disturbed, even when we left it out for twelve hours straight. The one thing I would warn would-be campers of, intermittent thunder/rain storms are common. Bring your rain flap, or better yet camp in an RV. If you can’t do that, bring a tent that can stand sixty mile per hour winds, heavy rain and possibly hail. You may get lucky, but it’s better to be prepared. If you are going to Silverwood theme park, this is a very convenient place to stay and far cheaper than a hotel at only $ 30 per night, per sight.

Had to start a review for this RV Park, run by Silverwood Theme park and located directly across the street, after having a terrible experiences here. We camped at Farragut State Park for three days before spending one night camped at Silverwood RV Park. We were expecting convenience and a place to set up our tent and relax after our second day at the theme park. All we got was the convenient location. First of all, this campsite is operated by teenagers… the«manager» is probably 20 or so and ALL of the staff acts as if you, the customer, are a major inconvenience to their summer teen drama. Second, the campsites are literally on top of each other. There are not dividers, trees to delineate site from site and most of the campers have no respect for personal privacy or space. You are inches from the next tent. On the night that we stayed we had the misfortune to camp next to a group of teenaged boys who were up until 4am playing Cyprus Hill and talking really loudly. One of them actually ended up crashing into our tent in the middle of the night. Finally a nearby camper put them in their place and they fell asleep. When we presented the problem to the«management» they told us that they were leaving and they couldn’t really do anything about it. We were told that we should have contacted security, which is two teenage boys who clearly didn’t enforce the quiet hours. I wouldn’t recommend this campground to anyone. Not only is it expensive @$ 30 a night. The staff are miserable and the conditions are refugee camp like. If you visit Silverwood you should stay at Farragut State Park, just a few miles down the road, it has several different campgrounds all of which are private. You can view wildlife, swim in Lake Pend Orielle, visit the town of Bayview, and generally enjoy camping Idaho style.(all for $ 24/night).
