Located near the shores of Silver Lake, Silver Bowl is a developed campground with 18 designated sites. There is a maximum of 8 people per site. Silver Lake offers a boat launch ramp, and a nature trail encircling the lake and two picnic areas provide a variety of recreational pursuits. Caribou Wilderness trailheads are located nearby.
In Westwood, CA, at intersection of State Rt. 36 and Cty. Rt. A21, take Rt. A21 north 14 miles to Silver Lake Rd. Turn left onto Siver Lake Rd. (dirt) and go 5 miles to an intersection with North Shore sign. Turn right after sign onto Forest Rt. 10 and go 0.5 miles to another intersection and North Shore sign. Continue straight for almost 0.1 miles to a "T" intersection and Silver Lake Summer Home sign. Turn right at sign and go 0.1 miles to campground entrance (2nd right).
First time camping at silver bowl campground. Well water ,vault toilets, large camping sites, close to lake access, lots of tree cover. Had a great time.
Quiet, lovely campground next to Silver Lake. The 18 campsites are a typical mix of central and secluded spaces. We opted for #14, a pleasantly quiet and spacious site, with a good mix of sun and shade for days with temperatures in the mid-high 70s. Plenty of breathing room in most of the sites, though not all have sufficient level areas for tents. Vault toilets were clean and well-maintained, and well was pumping water, though we did not partake. Silver Bowl Campground is a gem.
