We LOVE this campsite and feel it is the best one out of the four in this ring (and maybe all of Maroon Bells). There is a very short walk down to the river, which has a fallen log creating a short waterfall. This also creates "white noise" such that you don't hear the people at other campsites. The Rangers were friendly and the vault toilet restroom was exceptionally clean. We also had more shade during the day than other sites (but note that it's not complete shade all day). To help others understand the 4 sites... Site #1 is very secluded and off by itself, but farthest from the river. Site #2 and Site #3 are closer to the river, and have tent pads that are fairly close together, and people have worn a path between them, so this would be good for booking with others you know (but it is not horrible if stangers are there). Site #2 has access to the river, but not as easy as site #3. Site #4 is more off on it's own, but it is most visible from the parking lot (unlike site #1), and while you can walk to the river, it's not as open of an area (compared to site #3). This is bear country and bear boxes are provided BUT you have to put everything that has a scent into them when you leave for the day AND at night, so plan your packing acccordingly! This is also a "walk in" site, but the path from the parking is maybe 20 paces, if that, so it was very easy to carry our stuff in. There is a parking fee at the entrance but that allows you to drive and park up at the Maroon Bells scenic area.

This was a stunning campsite and I wish we had stayed longer.

Gorgeous small campground with 24/7 access to Maroon Bells. Right on the creek, and a downed tree has created a small waterfall. Bring your own water and please use bear boxes. Pit toilet was clean and maintained every day. Campsite 3 has the best access to the creek. Tent pad was just big enough for 2 2-person tents.

Beautiful location. Individual sites are well separated.

We LOVE camping here!!! We have never before had any complaints - until now. The bathroom had a huge fly infestation, it was noted almost everyday by staff on the comments section of the cleaning report - some fly paper traps might have helped. More importantly we were not informed ahead of time that there was NO water available except all the way up at Maroon Lake (the spigot at Silver Queen was also out of commission) In previous years there was always a large water tank in the campground. All that being said we still love camping at Silver Bar - love the river and only tents!

Wonderful experience as always. Silver bar Campground has only four sites and it was Far Enough from the Welcome station that it was quiet. It was also very roomy and there was a nice shady place under the trees and also by the river to play in for the kids. The bathroom is kept extremely clean and it was nice to have so much room. You're also close enough to have Wi-Fi for texting which is helpful.

Campsite was clean, quiet, and lovely! The bathrooms were clean and maintained with TP our whole weekend. Thank you!
