Our site was a little difficult to back into. It's been raining a lot and the edges of the pavement were very muddy. The angle of this site was almost reverse of what it should have been, considering the paved campground road was one-way traffic.
Once parked and setup we had a wonderful stay for five nights. The campground was full at times as it was a holiday weekend approaching. There is a lot to do here and we took advantage of the Bike and hiking trails visiting many, but not all of the Falls in the park.
Facilities included water and electric hookups and a Dump near the park. There are flush toilets and showers available.

Last minute change to our plans put us in Silver Falls State Park where there were plenty of spots to choose from. We thought we chose a nice spot within the campground with electricity and water, but it turns out that we very close to the main public road. Temps dropped below 40 on Oct 4 and raccoons did a number on our kitchen utility cabinet (they had no fear). All that said, the trails, facilities and bathrooms were all in great condition. We took the South Fall Trails and saw two amazing waterfalls. Next time we will choose a site farther from the road and walk all 10 waterfalls...in the summer. Elevation along with little light coming through the trees made for cold fall temps in a tent.

If you can choose the tent loop. Apparently there are some RV hookup sites but we stayed in a tent site just fine. Beautiful big sites surrounded by huge trees. Site 65 even has water access, which was a huge plus.
The RV loop has more solar exposure but no privacy, the sites are close together and it doesn't look as impressive.
When we got there some sites were unusable due to storm damage and we had some noisy neighbors. Stick to the pavement, the forest ground is pretty muddy in some areas.
Closest grocery store was about 30 minutes away in either direction.

Stayed here for two nights, starting April 30, 2017.
The Good
- The site was lovely, wide, and secluded which made for a peaceful two night stay.
- Full water and electric hookups, with no faults detected from my Surge Guard.
- The nature trail started right next to our site, and either brought you all the way around the campground on a very nice nature trail with varied scenery, or out to the main falls area.
- Free dump station, regardless if you are camping or not.
The Bad
- The free dump station was about 10 minutes down the road which was an inconvenience at best.
- Twisty and narrow roads from the freeway, but manageable.
- Zero, Zip, Nada service with Verizon, even with a small booster.
The Ugly
- None to report.

The campgrounds are forested and secluded, but just a short walk to all the hiking trails, including the Trail of Ten Falls — truth in advertising, even the most cynical of hikers would feel unicorns, kittens and rainbows swell in their hearts hiking over, behind and under 10 falls along this 8 mile loop.
Lots of families and groups camp here — people reserve spots months in advance, but you can get in on summer weekdays last minute if you’re willing to site hop. Sites are spacious, level and well-spaced. Only partial hookups available in the RV loop, but there is a dump station a few miles up the road at the North end of the park.
If you're in the area for awhile, check out nearby Silverton for shops, supplies and restaurants, and the Frank Lloyd Wright house and the Oregon Gardens are also beautiful.

Campgrounds were perfectly sized, properly spaced apart and well equipped. I was surprised to find very cozy/heated restrooms (including clean showers). Fantastic park for kids and incredible hikes for adults/families. I highly recommend this park.

We rolled into Silver Falls, looking for refuge from a relentless winter storm on the coast. Our site, B20, took a little wiggling to get into as it was perpendicular to the road. But once settled, we appreciated the intimacy of the site.
As a side note, another Airstream blogger, the Small Small Trailer, was parked next to us, leading to a delightful conversation on chronicling adventures.
The showers and bathrooms were spotless and there was plenty of hot water to go around. A slight bummer was that the dump station was several miles away along a winding road. But that minor inconvenience was well worth what the park offers.
Silver Falls will blow your mind if you like water falls. Unfortunately, we travel with our 'fur kids' and they are not allowed on the Canyon Trail, so we were not able to enjoy them fully. We did take them on the Rim Trail, though, and that was enough to be amazed.
The park has an historic lodge (with free wifi for those camping) that has an excellent coffee bar. To enjoy a latte next to a roaring fire- well it does not get much better.
We would have stayed longer, but that darn coastal storm was coming in with snow on the forecast. Had it not been for that, we would have stayed a good long time. It was that amazing.

Silver Falls is known for the waterfall with a trail that leads behind it. There are 10 falls within the 9 mile hiking loop and a host of amenities for camping. They have two large 'ranch houses' that can sleep 50 people as well as the wonderfully kept campground for RVs, tents, yurts or cabins.
We rate Silver Falls with 5 Stars because of the long list of amenities and activities and the overall care/attention to keep it in top shape. There is a popular swimming hole, historic lodge with restaurant, kids exploration zone, hiking, biking, equestrian trails, fishing, etc. etc.
We visited in the Spring so our site had some mud. It was a spacious and private site with hummingbirds, white crowned sparrows, robins and blue jays fluttering about. We had neighbors on one size that were visible however there was enough of a barrier that it still felt private.

We visited in early Fall, so the waterfalls were not at their peak velocity, but it was still worth the 9 mile hike with our 3 young kids. Campground was beautiful - the sites were not overly large but not cramped. We felt we had plenty of space. Showers were decent, the little playground was a hit with the kids as well as all the paths weaving through the bushes. They made plenty of secret forts! Only complaint was no Verizon in the campground. Sam had to drive 1.5 miles down the road and park at an overlook to get signal from Silverton (which he thinks he *might* have been able to pull in with a directional antenna). Doable, but not amazing. Everything else was perfect!
