Camping at Silver Creek Campground near Garden Valley

Public campground · Garden Valley · 55 campsites · 2 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Silver Creek Campground sits at 4,490 feet in Peace Valley, about 25 miles north of Garden Valley in the Boise National Forest. The site occupies a mixed-growth lodgepole pine stand with Silver Creek running alongside the loops, so mornings commonly bring songbirds and the occasional bald eagle or red-tailed hawk hunting the riparian corridor; deer and elk move through the trees at dusk.

How far ahead to book Silver Creek Campground

For May weekends, book about 136 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 96 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 (10,472 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.
