Silver City Campground is a small Bureau of Land Management campground in the Owyhee Field Office of Idaho, about 5 miles from the town of Silver City. The site sits in a partially restored 19th-century mining town, and visitors are asked to bring their own water. The creek water running through the campground may contain mercury from old mining activity, so it is not safe to use. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F with lows near 59°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. There is no fee to stay here. For more time outdoors, Scotch Bob Creek Trail is about 2.5 miles away, and North Boulder Creek offers canoeing roughly 9 miles off.
