Silverwood Lake SRA wishes to remind everyone of California's new law requiring boat operators to have a California Boating Card. The card is required for anyone under the age of 41 to operate a boat in California's waters, which includes Silverwood Lake, Lake Perris, and all other inland waterways as well. http://californiaboatercard.com/

All vessels entering Silverwood Lake SRA will be inspected for standing water and quagga mussels. Vessels that fail inspection will not be allowed to launch and may be turned away from the park. Please ensure your vessel is cleaned of vegetation and organic material, drained of any and all standing water (including the outdrive and live wells), and completely dry. Any amount of water found may constitute a failure. We do not want you to fail this free inspection! (Click here for more information)

Kinda a hidden gem of a campground and lake. Boujie campsites– Nice sites, flush toilets, and showers. Lake is big, generally clean (some algae, check warnings), and free to kayak in. Some bugs and a bit pricey of a site, but generally worth it. Not too busy, booked 24 hours in advanced on a Tuesday in July.

Tips:

- You can use your camping parking pass to park around the lake even on your arrival and departure days.

- Bring quarters for the shower

- You can access the lake from the campground (site 12, it's a bit steep)

- The beach in "Willow's Cove" is the best one (hike/kayak in)

Second time here, we stay two nights and we love it. Site #76 was big, fit 3 tents. Every site has a picnic table and fire pit. The restrooms are clean, hot water in showers. Both trails lead to the lake. Overall, its a fun experience.

Very nice campground. Plenty of shade on all the campsites we saw. A little bit of a walk to the lake but not to bad if you are going to the Cleghorn side. Watch out for bears if you are catfishing though.

I stayed here for three days and two nights. My camp spot was #41. Terrific view. No one was here at the park in early April. Kind of windy. And cold in the evenings. Not good for tent camping at this time of the year. Perfect if you have a self-contained RV. However the rules regarding generators could be a little more generous. You cannot turn your generator on before 10 AM. I think 8 AM is reasonable. Generators must be turned off by 8:00 PM. I can understand that they are trying to keep things peaceful in the early morning and evening hours in case others are asleep. This is dry camping at its finest. Nice level lots. Easy navigation throughout the park. Ideal for trailers up to 23 feet. Larger trailers will have some difficulty finding adequate parking. They do have water situated around the park that you can use to fill up water containers and or freshwater tanks within your RV. There is a bait and tackle shop not far away you can find some necessities there. It is limited. There are his and hers bathrooms and wash basins located in outbuildings around the park. I was happy to see Park Rangers and other law-enforcement patrolling the park regularly. Makes for a safe camping. There are some great mountain biking trails locally. If you’re into that sort of thing. Also plenty of walking paths. This park is pet friendly. So if you have a dog you shouldn’t have any issues. Dogs are not allowed on the beach area near the lake. I Give this park 4 stars instead of 5 because of the lack of a usable dump station and the fact that you can’t turn your generators on until after 10 AM. However that being said I will definitely come again. Decent value.

Great campsite. Exiting was a bit confusing. Google maps directed us to a road past the Nature Center that was gated. Wish a "no outlet" sign was posted.
