“The camp host was less than desirable so I will leave it at that. Was yelling at people on a utv that was lost and she didn't help them to where to go ride. In my years of camping I have NEVER experienced a host like that. ”

Rex S 2 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Great campground with big trees, clean bathrooms and an easy walk to the lake. ”

How far ahead to book Silver Dollar

For July weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 158 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (9,834 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
