Rented an av and went up here. Owner so nice. Had coffee and talked for an hour. Very knowledgeable of the area.
Very cool place.
It was cold when we were there and we were the only people- apparently much more crowded in the summer.
Fun place to camp with no hookups.
The hot spring pool is a blast.
There are plenty of trails and places to bike or ride.
The creek is really nice. Swim, play our fishing. Fun fun.
The road this year was not to bad. But the wash boards loosened up a few things.
The camp over all is clean, fun and worth a visit or return visit.
We camped in the adjacent campground, but stopped at the resort for the mineral pool. Although a natural hot mineral spring, it has been hardscaped and more or less looks like a regular pool. It was clean, well maintained and lots of fun.
Always a pleasure going here. Usually rent a few cabins and stay for a long weekend. Wonderful place for kids as their is a shallow creek that runs through the campground outskirts that will keep them entertained all day long. Hot pool is always clean and well maintained.
I've been swimming at Silver Creek since I was a kid. I recently went up with my parents and my own family to introduce my toddler to one of my favorite spots growing up, and it did not disappoint. The weather was perfect, the pool and facilities were clean and the staff (husband and wife) were friendly and very pleasant to chat with. We had a wonderful time. This is a hidden Idaho gem, pun intended for all you Idahoans. 😉
