Beautiful view! The campsite is directly behind the house as shown in the pics, but was not a problem for us. The host was very friendly. The location is close to town, and we walked to the Coffee Bear every morning to get our day started. Staying at this location was easy and relaxing. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great little spot close to downtown Silverton. We managed to get our 30’ wolf den into their spot, but wouldn’t recommend anything much larger if you have a tow vehicle. The 110 power was super convenient to keep the batteries charged so we didn’t have to run a generator. Joe and Patricia were super accommodating and kind. We ended up dumping tanks at the Red Mountain RV spot up the road for $20. The closer one charges $25.
