For Silver Falls State Park: WARNING - Extreme Noise Pollution
The ‘Pine Needle Posse’, aka ‘Volunteer Hosts’ armed with gas and electric leaf blowers make sure nothing organic remains on any paved areas within the large camp ground.
Wearing double layer, industral ear protection, they start as early as they choose - 8:00 a.m., for example. Really. Sadly. Seven days a week, 5 plus hours daily.
At best, good intentions run amok. More likely bored, and/or mismanaged volunteers.
After four days of serenity disruption,
like the local wild life, I chose to leave in search of a quiet camping experience.

For Silver Falls State Park: Beautiful state park. A must see in Oregon. The campground is very nice. The only thing I did not like about it was a constant smell of weed. They allow smoking at the campsites, I wish they did not.

For Silver Falls State Park: State park with electricity! Great park for all sizes of RVs. About half the sites were tents, the other half RVs. The trail system is amazing. Campground has nice hot showers that are free and they allow fires.

For Silver Falls State Park: Beautiful!!! So much to see and do, lots of hiking. No Verizon service at the campground, but free WiFi at the Lodge by the South Falls. Nice showers, level spots. Wish I booked more than 2 nights! I'll definitely be back.

For Silver Falls State Park: We tow a 27' Airstream and had no issues of tight backin spaces. The main road getting to the park is fairly narrow with blind corners, so go slow...for 5 miles or so. This is a nice campground and it must be quite busy in the summer due in large part for the wonderful hiking amongst the waterfalls. We only stayed a night on our way south, but the spectacular South Falls viewpoint is about a 5-10 minute walk, or take the trail to under the waterfall! A cool area with great Old buildings and lodge, used for food and drinks and for a gift shop.

For Silver Falls State Park: This is taken from Oregon State Park Brochure so should be public domain. I grew up in Silverton and this park rivals Crater Lake for spectacular scenery and activities.
People call it the crown jewel of the Oregon State Parks system, and once you visit, you know why. Silver Falls State Park is the kind of standout scenic treasure that puts Oregon firmly onto the national?and international?stage. Its beauty, boundless recreational opportunities and historic presence keep it there. Nestled in the foothills of Oregon's Cascade Mountains, less than an hour east of the state capital of Salem, the sprawling 9,200 acre property is the largest state park in Oregon, and one of the most popular.
Waterfalls: Where else can you walk behind a waterfall? Check out the famous South Falls and see what a 177-foot curtain of water looks like from behind. It's part of the Trail of Ten Falls, a spectacular, nationally recognized hiking trail that weaves through a dense forested landscape. The trail passes a series of breathtaking waterfalls along a rocky canyon, and descends to a winding creek at the forest floor. This 7.2 mile loop is considered to be a moderate hike, with an overall elevation change of 800 feet. Several connecting trails with separate access points make shorter routes. For everyone's safety? absolutely no pets allowed on the Canyon Trail. Pets on leash are allowed on all other trails.
