Silver Springs Campground

001
  The campground is a large grassy field with picnic tables, fire rings, and electric hookups. Most of the sites are not clearly marked although a few do have gravel parking pads. The ground is uneven and very soft after a rain. It may be difficult to level a large RV and the RV may sink into the soft ground and get stuck.  Porti potties are the only facilities at the campground but there are flush toilets at the ball fields. There’s a dump station and potable water available.  The best thing about the campground is easy access to the 34 mile paved Hike & Bike Trail.

  The campground does not have accessible sites but as long as the ground is dry wheelchairs will work in most of them. The picnic tables have long overhangs. The bike trail is wide, level, shady and fairly smooth but has steep up and down grades at all of the highway crossings.

  There are two entrances to the park – one for the ball fields and one for the campground. There isn’t a path or road connecting the two. The ball field section has a large parking lot at the heritage area that will accommodate RVs. If you plan to roll along the trail this lot is a better place to park than the campground because you must travel along the road for a short distance. Campground

  2. Hi Danny and Shula! Wow, this winter passed by quickly! I can't believe that it's almost time for your US travels. I've been reading your blog posts over the winter. It looks like you had a wonderful time visiting your family and also got to hike in some beautiful areas.

    Have a safe trip to the US!
