About Silver Falls State Park

Located near Sublimity, Oregon, Silver Falls State Park features 93 campsites in a scenic setting. This state park is a favorite among visitors seeking outdoor adventure and relaxation.

Silver Falls State Park near Sublimity, Oregon, offers one of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular natural settings for RV camping. The park is home to the famous Trail of Ten Falls, a magnificent hiking loop that showcases some of Oregon's most breathtaking waterfalls. This state park provides an ideal base for those seeking both outdoor adventure and peaceful relaxation in a pristine natural environment.

The park's location in the Cascade foothills creates a dramatically beautiful backdrop for your camping experience. Towering Douglas firs and ancient western hemlock trees frame the landscape, while the South Santiam River runs through the property, providing a constant soundtrack of flowing water. The waterfall trail itself is truly remarkable, featuring ten distinct falls ranging from modest cascades to the stunning South Falls, which plunges 177 feet into a sparkling pool below. Many of the falls can be viewed from multiple angles, including from behind the cascading water itself, creating an immersive experience you won't find in many places.

Whether you're an experienced angler or hoping to introduce family members to fishing, the calm sections and scenic pools make this a rewarding location. The park's boat ramp provides easy access to the water for those wanting to explore the river from a different perspective.

The camping facilities here are well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. With 93 sites available year-round, you'll find options whether you're visiting in the temperate spring and fall months or the quieter winter season. Amenities including full restrooms, shower facilities, and a convenient dump station make extended stays comfortable. Fire rings at each site invite evening gatherings, while picnic tables provide spaces for meals with a view.

This park appeals to a wide range of visitors. Families appreciate the accessible waterfall trails and riverside picnic areas. Serious hikers and outdoor photographers find endless inspiration in the cascading waters and forest scenery. Fishing enthusiasts discover rewarding angling opportunities, while those simply seeking peaceful retreat find solace in the natural beauty.

Incredibly breathtaking area, I believe having a campground also gives you free admission to the state park hike. So much to explore for both the adults and kids!(which I also highly reccomend as a casual hiker easy trails and lovely views)

The state park is wonderful. Campground sells ice and bundles of firewood. The restrooms are great, with showers. Many nature trails around the campgrounds. Good choice for car camping.

We spent a night at the campground to tackle the Ten Falls trail, and we would have loved to stay longer, but unfortunately, it was fully booked.

We spent a night at the campground to tackle the Ten Falls trail, and we would have loved to stay longer, but unfortunately, it was fully booked. Site 72 caught our eye as it offered full hookup and more privacy compared to other sites. The cabins were nicely spread out, but the camping area felt a bit cramped. We did encounter some campers playing loud music, which was quite bothersome. It would have been much nicer if they kept their music at home and let everyone else enjoy the tranquility of the outdoors. The bathrooms were well-maintained, and both the rangers and camp hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly. Most importantly, the trail itself was absolutely worth it. Our advice is to start early as it tends to get crowded very quickly.

This campground is like a retreat in nature, serene and beautiful! We stayed in a cabin which was great for us, and had access to a picnic table and fire pit. The cabin itself was cozy and had wall heaters, though the larger bed was as hard as a rock (would recommend using the futon for the bed as it has more padding).

We stayed in a cabin which was great for us, and had access to a picnic table and fire pit. The cabin itself was cozy and had wall heaters, though the larger bed was as hard as a rock (would recommend using the futon for the bed as it has more padding). Our cabin (3) unfortunately was next to a main road, though the proximity to the bathrooms was a plus. Check-in was a little confusing at first since there weren't staff at the main station. We eventually saw that the process is if you have a reservation you should already have your cabin code and just go to the cabin at check-in time. Easy peasey! Firewood and ice are also available for $5 and $1 from self-service areas around the campgrounds. The serene and lush nature is the real draw, including the nature trail that goes around the campground. Highly recommend!
