Love this park! It's down below the dam, so you're protected from a lot of the wind this area is known for, and the sites are nice big pull through sites. If you're looking for a campground overlooking the lake, this is not it. But if you want a nice quiet park under mature trees with lots of shade and protection from the wind, this is it.

We enjoyed the park. Very quiet and not alot of traffic. Lots of shade and walking trail just down the road. Will definitely stay there again.

A beautiful park with great facilities and very reasonably priced. The host was very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth taking the drive up from I-70.

Very nice campground with a wonderful host. Just wish there was a dish wash station for tent campers. Bathrooms and showers were clean and the campground was very quiet at night.

Nice, small campground.

Silvan park is a great place to camp. There is lots of shade and being on the north side of the dam. It has some windblock.

I have only camped at three recreation.gov campsites, but this one is my favorite.

Nice and clean.

Such a quiet park! We were there just after Memorial Day for 2 nights. Only the campgound host, one tenter and 4 other RVs other than us. The sites are spacious; however, the signs for each site are not well marked. We found ours by walking the "streets" to locate where we needed to go. It was easy to plug into and water and power worked very well.

This was our 3rd visit to this campground. It is always our first choice when we are stopping in this area.

Nice level site.
@PaulW1379819 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #18
Check in by host was easy and very friendly. Park was simple to maneuver around and we were pleasantly surprised to find water at all sites. The park sites were spacious, well shaded and very clean and level. Registration online was simple and all discounts were honored. Will stay here in future if in the area. City of Lucas was very interesting especially The Garden of Eden.

Very nice spot. Just passing through for one night.
@AnnaW3959206 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #21
Our favorite camping spot in Kansas. This park is always mowed and trimmed. The showers and bathrooms are always cleaned and smell fresh. The camp hosts are friendly and always available to help. There's also great space between camp spots and shade available. Family friendly!! The Core of Engineers have done a wonderful job here over the years. This can't be said about other COE campgrounds.

Nice Campground. Very quiet. Staff was helpful and keeps things clean. Will stay again.
@JuliaD7608932 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #10
Very well kept, clean restrooms and not crowded. The camp hosts always check us in. This is our favorite spot to camp at Wilson. The shade and quiet make up for not being close to beach access.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
