Bob S ★ 5 · Oct 2025"Hobie" was by far the friendliest, most helpful and knowledgeable camp hosts we've ever met! He gave us great info on hikes and paddling, was flexible on our campsite choice, and kept the facilities cleaner than I've seen at any campground. He seemed to treat everyone with the same positive attitude, quite refreshing to see. We liked the location, paddling on the lake, hiking options nearby, beauty in the surrounding area.
Caleb L ★ 5 · Sep 2025Super clean, the camp host was awesome. Beautiful location. The water was off but we were warned and it was no big deal to bring some extra. Awesome experience all around.
Gus V ★ 2 · Sep 2025Our campsites designated no. Was changed. We were now in a different site. But because the camp was mostly empty the camp host said switching to our original location was OK. A big camp like this and no available potable water is a disgrace. Turn the system on.

Trails leave directly from the campground to lakeshores and swimming beaches; the Granite Lake Trail (which begins at the Minkalo trailhead on Silver Lake's east shore) climbs across Squaw Creek on a wooden bridge, splits toward Plas…
