This quaint, rustic campground offers nine walk-in campsites suitable for tent use only. Surrounded by a tall evergreen forest, Silver Creek campground is located on the beautiful Pine River and Silver Creek. This campground offers access to many outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, fishing and paddling. A carry-in boat launch a short walk from the campground is designed for kayaks and canoes. The launch area also provides fishing access. The Silver Creek Pathway, great for hiking and open to mountain biking, can be accessed near the boat launch.

The campground is in Lake County, seven miles north of Luther via State Road and 10 Mile Road.
