Silver Beach Resort

We had a dry site backing up straight out to the water. Best view in the morning while drinking coffee! Kids could just walk out to play in the water! The beach was a really gentle slope down and didn’t drop off until way out in the lake. Some morning and afternoon sun in the site but we were pretty protected from the hot sun. Not much privacy on one side but the other side was great. We lucked out and didn’t have anyone camping next to us. I had minimal cell service whereas my husband had no signal. I was able to receive texts and occasionally connect to wifi so I could check my email. Showers were out of order so that was unfortunate. And my hubby was bothered my the highway traffic noise but I was not. Staff were great, specifically the mother/daughter duo. They absolutely loved my boys and even gave them pencils so they could do their soduku puzzles. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

If you are looking for a place to let the kids play in the dirt, jump in the lake, and use your own bathroom facilities in your camper, this is your place.

If you're looking for a place with working Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms, showers that don't scare you away from being clean -- don't come here.

First of all, they don't answer the phone. Don't bother calling. It's not that they're too busy, they just don't seem to want to bother.

We had a rental RV that didn't come with any leveling blocks, and our site was sloped downhill. Their bathrooms were pretty grim, with dirty, standing water on the floors. The Wi-Fi allowed us to connect to their network, but it didn't actually allow us to do...anything. That's not entirely true, I could receive texts, but I couldn't download emails, websites, Google Maps, Facebook...not much else.

They have a little store that has a lot of the things you might need at a campground, as well as soft-serve ice cream, popsicles, and an espresso bar.

We had an extra vehicle, and paid for it when we arrived at $10. My sister arrive in the extra vehicle late, and one of the owners of the place escorted her to our campsite. The only catch is that they charged my sister $20 for parking - not the $10 that is listed, and what I paid. A little sketchy. I followed up in the morning and got my sister's money back. Still, he should have known it was $10, not $20.

What a great location on the western end of Rimrock Lake. The campground has waterfront access to Rimrock, along with a boat ramp and nicely sized day use area. This campground is a real jewel in the rough.

The location includes a store/cafe and small motel and a large private campground. They also rent cabins and parked trailers. The store is nicely stocked, but prices are a bit high considering how far away you are from any major cities or other groceries. They have a lot of beer and other bottled beverages in stock. The staff are super nice and work hard to be accommodating.

The food in the cafe is quite good, especially the milkshakes. They also make pizza. We had a pizza during our stay and it was good, aside from the crust being a bit overdone. But the milkshake we had with the pizza made up for the overdone crust.

We had site 61, which was full hookup. Site was just long enough to hold a 35' class A and park a car in front perpendicular to the rig. The site was nearly level and was a snap to get the RV perfectly level. The site also had a very nice, heavy duty, wood picnic table and a sizable, deep fire pit. The owners advertise that they allow one RV and one tent per space, or two tents per space, however this campsite would have had a hard time accommodating a tent in addition to the RV. Without the RV, one tent and a car would have been all the space could have handled.

The hookups were oddly located, and frankly just odd in general. The site had full hookups. The power pole was not really a power pole. There was a newer covered electrical box housing one 30 amp rv plug, no breaker or switch to turn it on and off. The box was located less than a foot off the ground and was basically located right above the sewer port.

The sewer port was nothing more than drain pipe PVC poking out of the ground, no flip cap, no threaded cap or threaded entry. You could look straight down into the sewer pipe. It took a 45 degree angle, less than a foot above the surface of the soil, obviously leading wherever sewage goes here. The water service was inches away from both the sewer pipe and the electrical; a standard twist valve. Apparently, maintenance activities in the resort had caused the water to be off that day. When I turned on the water it came out brown and did so for at least 5 minutes. I might have been the only user hooking up after the water service turned on, so I was the only one that noticed how dirty the water was. The water eventually ran clear, but I hooked up my 3-stage water filter to this source because I just didn't trust it. Water pressure was not impressive. I took off my normal water pressure regulator because the pressure was low enough that the regulator seemed to be hampering water flow, a first for my experience.

The utilities for the site were on the far corner of the property on the drivers side of the rig. I carry long enough hoses and a 30-amp extension cord, so hooking up those utilities to my amidships service bay was not a problem, but I don't keep a 20+ foot sewer hose on board. I didn't have enough sewer hose length to reach the sewer pipe, and my rig was backed up to the barrier between my camp site and the neighbor. All in all just the oddest structure and location of utilities I've ever experienced in a campground. A simple addition, like a second sewer port located farther up the RV pad would have been quite helpful. I also really missed the standard 30/20 amp RV power box that had breakers.

All roads and paths through the campground are compacted soil with some compacted gravel intermixed. We have had an overly wet spring this year, so the roads here were quite rough, and rather mucky to try to walk on. I suspect the compacted dirt and gravel would be much less obtrusive during a normal precipitation year.

The camp playground is serviceable. It includes a very well built set of swings, a simple zip line, and toddler sized slide and teeter totter. I can't say that this is a major attraction here, but it did keep my daughter very busy for many hours, especially the zip line.

Since I couldn't use the sewer port at my campsite, I had to use the on-site dump station. The on-site dump station isn't visible from the highway, so if you weren't staying here you wouldn't know they had one. Dump station is a compacted dirt driveway. The dump port is located in a concrete ramp which keeps overflow from going on the ground. The dump port itself used to have a brass flip cap on it, but it is long gone and replaced with this odd piece of PVC pipe with a plastic grill on top that is used as a lid. To dump you have to pull this pipe/cap out of the hole, set aside, and then insert your hose down the hole. If the soil was dry this would have been easy, however since all the drives in this park are compacted dirt and gravel, the dump station, especially near the dump port, was a muddy mess and very difficult to work at. It will be terribly expensive to pave the whole campground, but a patch of asphalt or concrete at the dump station would go a long way to making the whole experience a lot more pleasant and easier to accomplish.

They attempt to offer WiFi to guests, but the service is spotty and you have to keep connecting to two or three different hot spots that they offer. At least the password to the hot spots is the same. I think the Internet is satellite based, so there is a lot of latency, when you are able to connect to a WiFi hotspot. I saw a Starlink dish on top of the roof of the motel, however I don't think the Starlink service was serving the campground. I saw a Hughesnet satellite dish in the campground and suspect that they are using that for their WiFi service. When connected you can check email, send messages, maybe even make a call over WiFi, but streaming video is not possible.

If you have a boat or water toy, this is the place to be. If you are just looking to camp but want hookups, assuming that the hookups are well placed on the campsite, this is the place to be. Kids? They will probably be well entertained with the playground, walking along the shore and skipping stones or just hanging out. Like I said, this place is a jewel in the rough, a bit more maintenance and updating and it will be a really nice rustic camp resort.
