Kendall Camping Area

I spent 3 days exploring the area around the established campgrounds and this place is a must return. I found a couple of single use site up the road and closer to the creek that I would prefer when I return.

The campgrounds a generally quite and peaceful yet busy. Noise was never a problem.

VZ and TMobile are good.

Showed up on a Tuesday around 7:30pm and got one of the few remaining small sites here, right by the entrance. Most generators were from the big rigs lines up along the river, but we couldnt even hear them from our spot. Pit toilet did the job. The location is beautiful and so convenient to Silverton. Give it a try and even if fu... more

If you like to spend your camping trip in dirt parking lots 5 feet away to the other van or Subaru while listing to others conversations and barking dogs then this place is for you.

There are tons of shady spots to camp, especially if you go left before going in to the circle where the restrooms are. If you have a 4x4 you can go back there and hide out in some really cool places. We went walking along the creek too, that was very enjoyable! The terrain never had t.p. so don't get stuck and make sure you bring a ... more

Several spots for larger rigs - we found one close to entrance/road that worked for our 31’ - to get to spots next to creek would have to go over some rough dips/ridges in road. Beautiful setting in between sone nice peaks / great hiking trails up to mountain lakes. Just 7m from Silverton

After leaving Gunnison area we headed here. Rte 550 is absolutely stunning. There’s a pretty sharp right turn to come to this area but once down here there were a couple spots. We arrived about 12:30 on a Sunday. Pretty busy. Definitely recommend

We spent 2 nights at 2 different spots in Kendall Campground. We enjoyed both. Loved the soothing sound of the creek flowing - great for sleeping in our roof top tent. We had decent Verizon cell service which was a huge plus! The only thing that would’ve made it better is if the toilet has been open. We were there in early June and it ... more

Beautiful area. We were just passing through and thought we would update the reviews. The road is dry and accessible. Verizon was 6.5down and 6 up

We camped here 3 years ago and fell in love! We decided to come to Silverton on a whim and couldn't get reservations for any of the campgrounds in town so we found Kendall Campground. We loved camping right next to the river, we fished, let the dogs play and met some amazing people from different states. Hoping to come back this weekend.

We stayed here for a week in late fall. The road in was a little bumpy but very accessible in our campervan pulling a full cargo trailer. The campground is huge, and there was no one there when we arrived, so we picked a private spot in the trees near the creek. There were other campers a few nights, but we had the place to ourselves f... more
