Seriously? This place is a scam! They charge you 45 bucks a night for what? Showers- no lights! To have a shower be ready to spend your hard earned and let me tell you - quarters only and it is 4 bucks or so for 2 mins! What is wrong with you people???!! Restroom - no lights! And lucky you are they don’t charge you for the flush or toilet paper. Besides that, the garbage is everywhere. I prefer to stay out of the truck stops and rest areas whenever it is possible when I travel, and this time I was too tired to look for an overnight. Little I knew…. I have better kept driving. This is a huge disappointment and a shame for that place. Stay away!

Great hidden gem. I never heard of the Silverwood before camping here this week. Clean and quiet campsites. Plenty of space and trees between your neighbors. $45 a night for full hookups E/W/S is a great deal. The lake was warm and refreshing with the hot temps during the day. It does cools down nicely at night. Great walking trails all around the lake. Be prepared for flies and heat during the summer. Overall a really enjoyable time.

One of the nicer local campsites. The people at the gate this time around were infinitely more customer oriented. They have rules and they abide by them. There’s nothing more I could ask for. (Last time, they gave the spot I reserved to someone else) (At the San Onofre location, they did the same thing as well)... This time, however, they kept my spot for me and they were very helpful helping me find a spot for my friend that was on his way. **Tip** even if you don’t need hookups, for $10 more a night, you get a quieter campsite location, better class of people, and toilet seats in the bathrooms!

Questions & Answers

Is this lake crowded? I’m trying to make camping reservations for Aug 2020 and it seams there’s no spots open for the weekends ??

amy Mackey | Aug 26, 2020
Striker Gizmo | Aug 26, 2020

The Lake for swimming gets crowded at about 11:00 p.m. That's when the "day use" people come typically. But if you're camping there (camp sites) you can walk or drive to the lake relatively early before they start showing up and set up at the Lake. I recommend parking at lot 1 it's closer to the lake. Booking campsites might be a little hard because they sell out fast though. Always try to book at least 3 weeks in advance. Hope the info helps. 😄

If we camp here can we bring our boat (and actually use it)?

We had Old Mesa Campsite #8. Parked a Yukon and a 25' Pontoon with no problem. Across from showers and bathroom no foot traffic. However, campsite kinda slopey.

Kat Dmz | Aug 26, 2021
Calvin Sau | Aug 26, 2021

Yes, you're allowed to swim in the lake. I don't believe there is a limit to how many people you can bring for a day, but for camping there is a limit depending on the site. I believe it is $8 for a day pass.

Are dogs aloud to swim in the lake? Also Is this lake safe for dogs to swim in?

Skyla Brock | Aug 26, 2021
