About
Silver Creek Marsh Campground occupies a beautiful forested location approximately 27 minutes south of Silver Lake, Oregon, in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The spacious, timbered camp offers 15 sites with pastoral meadow and marsh views along Silver Creek, a popular fishing destination. The campground is particularly well-suited for equestrians, featuring large corrals with about six stalls that can accommodate 10-12 horses, along with five hitching rails. The Silver Creek Marsh Trailhead provides direct access to the Fremont National Recreation Trail #160 Northern Segment, which has good signage with mile indicators and directions. Beyond horseback riding, campers can enjoy fishing in Silver Creek, bird watching in the marsh habitat, and hiking. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Two vault toilets serve the campground. Campers should bring their own drinking water as potable water is not available on site.
Directions
From Silver Lake, take Oregon Highway 31 west for approximately one mile, then turn left onto County Highway 4-11 (Marsh Road). County Highway 4-11 becomes Forest Service Road 27. Silver Creek Marsh Campground will be on the left side of the road, approximately 10.6 miles from the highway.
