JEFFREY W ★ 5 · Aug 2025
Host were very welcoming and helpful.
Julie D ★ 5 · Aug 2025
Bathrooms are better than most found in other campgrounds. Although they were almost full, be prepared for windy conditions. Our campsite was a walk away from the parking space, not a drive-thru. Plenty of wildlife sightings: deer, pronghorn, coyotes, birds. The lake is very close and is beautiful. Great opportunity for stargazing.
Assaf W ★ 4 · Aug 2025
The campground was overall clean, area beautiful. The bathrooms were the cleanest vault toilets I've been to, but then again, it's possible that the cold drove the bugs away. There were two stalls per bathroom (men's / women's), but the doors to the stalls couldn't be locked. The water pump was out of order (shut down due to water quality issues, we later learned), but there was no sign or information on the website saying there's no water. Luckily we had enough, but would have been a great inconvenience given how remote the place is. A sign was put on the pump itself only the next morning after we got to the campground. Campsite hosts recommended other campgrounds in the area with potable water. The campsite itself was rated for 8 people (2 cars), but there was only one small tent pad with room for a single 2-4 person tent. At least in our campsite there was enough flat ground to accommodate additional tents. Picnic table was in good condition, and the fire ring was nice in the cold evening and morning.

How far ahead to book Silver Lake Campground (Wy)

For July weekends, book about 60 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 29 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
July29 days ahead60 days ahead21 days ahead42 days ahead
August20 days ahead39 days ahead13 days ahead27 days ahead
September14 days ahead25 days ahead18 days ahead39 days ahead

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 (851 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.
