About
Silver Creek Campground is located on the Truckee River, off of Highway 89, between Truckee and Tahoe City. Visitors enjoy the area for its fishing and hiking opportunities, as well as its proximity to Lake Tahoe. Bears frequent the area; all food must be kept in approved containers. Please plan food storage containers accordingly. Limited turnaround space restricts RVs longer than 24 feet Off-highway vehicles must be trailered to and from designated OHV routes. Recreational riding is not allowed in the campground. Fire restrictions may apply during summer months. BBQs only refers to fire pits with BBQ grate as an amenity, not stand-alone BBQs. Not all sites have stand-alone BBQs but they all have pits with grates. Fire restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions, at which time campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed. For current fire conditions or weather closures contact the Truckee Ranger District (530) 587-3558 (voice), (530) 587-6907 (TDD).
