Silver Lake Campground sits at just under 10,500 feet on the Snowy Range Scenic Byway, beside Silver Lake in the Brush Creek-Hayden Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming. The Forest Service manages the land, and the campground is the highest elevation in the district. It opens in late June or early July, depending on snow depth. The site has 17 campsites, including three RV pull-throughs for trailers under 32 feet. Facilities include picnic tables, vault toilets, water, fire grates and trash receptacles. There is a 14-day stay limit. Two trailheads start right at the campground, and the surrounding area offers trails, lakes, streams and glacial landscapes. The Silver Lake Trail and Meadow Falls Trail both begin about 0.1 mile away. West Lake Marie is about 2.3 miles off, and the Medicine Bow Peak Area climbing area is about 2.7 miles away.
