We enjoyed our stay overnight and would stay again. The dog park is clean and large enough. The park is clean and welcoming, the staff is friendly and very helpful. We camped at Silver State RV Park in a Motorhome.

We stayed at Silver State for 2 days. Such a fun place. The staff were wonderfully friendly! I’d like to mention Dixie and Laura who work the front office. These two made our stay. They are warm, funny and friendly. We will definitely stay here again when we pass through!

We have been on a 2000 mile trip pulling our 31 foot travel trailer. We had traveled 538 miles and were exhausted and just wanted a place to pull into for the night. What a wonderful place to stay!!! It is a family owned, meticulously maintained RV park. It had full hookups and was very reasonably priced! I really was impressed with this park. I would definitely stay there again!!!

Very nice RV Park. Gravel spots with full hook up and picnic table. Had a pool but we didn’t swim because it was too windy. Were only here one night and didn’t check out the bathrooms but everything seemed to be well kept up. Nice park right around the corner for the kids to play at.
