Silverton Municipal Park

I always enjoyed overnighting at this small park in Silverton, but a friend stopped by there today to find the power locked and a sign directing people to Silver Wind RV park ($25/nt). What a shame. I always used the restaurant or tire place across the street when I stopped there, and even bought propane locally, now no local businesses will benefit.

We stayed here 3 days. I called the town and was told the electric boxes are still locked due to Covid, but it's fine to camp for 3 days (we have solar). We parked along the back. There are six dogs behind a fence, but they are surprisingly quiet and very friendly. The highway was pretty close, but almost no traffic at night. There's a water spigot, which was working in mid-April. Other options for camping closer to Quitaque would be the rail-trail parking lot ($5pp state park fee). The SP actually has two overflow camping areas, so I'd say they'd let you camp there except on a busy weekend. The one near the lake is nicer than the area by the horse camp. Just go to the desk and ask. Five bars LTE for T-Mobile and 4 for Verizon. No TV signal. The cafe across the street had inconsistent hours and we weren't impressed.

This little place is right off the main road along the side of a tennis/basketball court fence. The spots are level and grassy. There are 3 electrical hookups, 2 on the side and one bigger one in the back by the alley way. The back one has a dumpster close by and the only place to fill up with water. It was the best spot for us as our front yard was a lovely little park for our kids to play at! Many slides, swings, a merry-go-round. This small town is quiet and the people are friendly. We had a few delicious meals at the little diner across the street and also enjoyed some snow cones down the street. We visited Lake Mackenzie and Caprock Canyon State Park during our stay. Would definitely stay again. 💙🤙🏼

This was a great free site to stop with our family. There are 3 electric hook ups but only one water hook up that we could find. Lucky for us we were the only ones here so we were able to have the spot along the alley closest to the dumpster that had electric and water. Our kids and dog enjoyed the playground and we had fun taking a bike ride through town. This is a very quiet town with few cars and people around. We would definitely stay here again.

I pulled in late, around 10pm on a weeknight. All 3, level, grassy sites were available. I chose one closer to the main road, and further from the barking dog in its backyard. This city park is on a corner, bordered by a main street and a residential street. Noise was minimal that late at night. The sites closer to the residential street weren’t as long as the one site closest to the chain link fenced backyards and homes. Best was the free electricity. Pedestals had 50,30, and 20 amp connections. Gas station across the street was convenient.

Pulled in around 9pm and the area we deserted. There are three sites, 2 alone the side street and one in the alley. Several dogs across the alley but they quieted down once we got plugged in and disappeared into our RV. Very clean but you are in the middle of town. Absolutely would stay here again although we felt it was risky knowing there are only three sites.
