Silver Creek North & South

We boondocked here for 11 days in our 41 ft fifth wheel. There is an open field for big rigs, but that is the only spot that is big rig friendly. We scoped it out beforehand to make sure we got a spot. Beautiful sunsets and views. We did get mice in this location, so beware. Our tmobile 5G gateway worked great for work and we had 3 bars. Highly recommend and would stay again!

This is an amazing location, but there are not many sites. Every one I saw had someone in it, with the south vault toilet area already having 3 RVs/cars. When I found only 1 car at the north vault toilet parking lot (with creek running nearby), I asked and they let me stay.

LOVE having a vault available since I’m car camping, but I would not count on being alone.

After being disappointed at the quality and lack of privacy at craters of the moon, we drove to the other end of the park and found this slice of heaven for FREE. We got in the river but it was pretty cold. Definitely avoid the pit toilet, but the concrete pad and covered picnic table made up for all of it. Wind kept most mosquitos away. This is a gem of a place. Lots of space and few neighbors. Well set up dispersed camping. Just amazing. Don't be afraid of the short slightly washboarded road coming in.

Campendium had this campsite listed so we checked it out and it didn’t disappoint. East to get to and free. It had hard stand bathrooms or great parking for an rv. I’m 54’ long truck and trailer and I had plenty of room. Close to Craters of the Moon, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. We will probably come back here if we come this way again. Full bars on Verizon with LTE. Absolutely recommended.

We camped here in June 2021 with a 40’ Motorhome.

When we arrived there were some RVs (and tons of cows) in the field that appears to be open for dispersed camping. The ground seemed really bumpy and not level. So we opted to camp in one (of 2) of the actual sites along the River. It was very narrow getting the bus in there, and luckily no one else was around because we did a 20 point turn to get the bus turned around. We got some scrapes on the sides of the rig due to thorny branches. And we lost a chunk of our tire due to a sharp volcanic rock on the way out.
A BLM staffer came by and told us we had the largest RV he’d ever seen in the spot.

Despite the difficult access, this spot was amazing!! Super clean and new feeling. Beautiful patio, raised tent pad, nice shade cover (could even hang a hammock from it!).

There’s a vault toilet if you need it.

Easy river access for fishing or floating or letting the dogs play and swim.

We had good cell signal.

We made a day trip to Hailey to ride the bike path all the way into town:

Enjoy!!

It’s a great little camping area with a pit toilet and shelters at the North and South units. There is not a lot of room near the shelters for any more than a couple of campers. There is a wide flat lot on the river just south of the South unit that has ample room for more campers. There is very little shade in the camping area other than the shelters.

This campground is really excellent. When you first pull in and go straight you can do a loop and camp anywhere there next to the creek river. Cows are everywhere and so cool. We stayed here one night and saw a few others. The next day we rode our bikes around and found the best site which is to the left when you pull in to the camping area. There is a perfect spot next to the toilets. It has a picnic table and unbelievable views of the cliffs and river. The water is so clear you can just sit in it all day. Fishing would be great if you had gear. We could
Live here. Cell reception was excellent too.

This was a great spot with plenty of little nooks and crannies to park the rig. Only 30 minutes from Craters of the Moon. However, once we pulled onto the road, we took the first right turn in. We soon realized that it was too narrow for our RV and was putting some major scratches down the side; however, we couldn't turn around! So, learn from our rookie mistake and only park in the spaces that are very clearly big enough for your rig.
