Silver Lake Campground

Silver Lake Campground is a high-elevation (7,200 ft) recreation area in Amador County accessible off Highway 88, offering a boat launch, day-use picnic areas with vault toilets, and the adjacent Silver Lake West Campground with 42 first-come, first-served sites.

The facility operates seasonally (typically mid-June through October) depending on weather and snow conditions, with limited amenities including charcoal BBQ stands at the boat launch and potable water availability.

Note that there is no cell service in the area, and visitors should check road and weather conditions before traveling, as this is a remote high-alpine location.
