Park Creek is a beautiful campground located in the Rio Grande National Forest. The sites are nice with many beautiful trees and most sites sit directly on the creek. Each site seems private because of the big trees. Plenty places to hang your hammock. The manager is friendly and helpful and even has firewood for sale. The campground has very clean toilets but no showers or electric hookups. It is located right off the highway, but I did not find the traffic noise to be too bothersome. You mostly hear it during the day, but barely over the delightful sound of the babbling creek. Our visit was June 7th. Located conveniently close to town where you can get fuel, firewood, food and cell phone service.

Silverton Lakes is a great place to camp when you're ready for a nice hot shower and dying to do some laundry. We camped in our roof top tent and the location made us feel like we were miles away, yet we were able to walk right over to downtown Silverton. Silverton is a very special place, surrounded by the most beautiful mountains and filled with great people and many shops and restaurants with fair prices and surrounded by many opportunities for adventures and exploring. Plan your trip during the new moon and the night sky will blow your mind. This was our second visit to Silverton Lakes in early June and we will most definitely return.
