Silver Creek South

There are only four sites in this campground. Two have been updated with gravel parking areas, picnic tables with shade shelters, and vault toilets. The other two are primitive parking spots.

  The first site traveling east and north along the campground road is a large grassy area which I don’t recommend because it’s a favorite spot of free range cattle. A cattle guard and barb wire fencing keeps the cattle (except for a couple of them who have figured a way around the barriers) out of the first improved site where we camped. It’s a shared site with two shelters on the bank of the pretty Silver Creek. The next site is a small pull off with wooden steps to get over the fence. The last site sits high above the river and has a picnic table without a shelter and a vault toilet. (no photo).

  The first improved site is accessible with concrete under the table, fire ring, and grill stand. Large rocks block close parking to the concrete pad leaving a section of gravel to push through. The second improved site has a concrete parking pad next to the toilet but the table on a downhill grade with uneven ground.

  Turn off of US 26 onto Cutoff Road and travel north for about a mile to access to the campground road which parallels Cutoff. Cutoff is washboard gravel but fine for any RV. The first improved site is large enough for all RVs. The second improved site is very long but is back-in only. Campground  43.2445, -113.9958

  1. Don't know when we'll get into Idaho again, but I know you're found some cooler weather up there!
