Come be our guest on Silver Lake near Ayrshire, IA. Our back-in camp site has full electric, water (Iowa Lakes Rural Water treated), and sewer hook ups. Relax, and enjoy fishing from our dock (don’t forget your poles and bait!), a picnic under our willow tree, listening to the birds sing, a peaceful cup of coffee, a walk on a country road, a delicious campfire meal, or sitting in our wildflower patch. Silver Lake is a quiet, shallow lake and is perfect for kayaking or playing in the water on a warm day. Bring your own, or rent ours. We have 2 kayaks and 2 stand-up paddle boards that can be rented for $25 each/day.Our only camp site is located near an old shade tree. The lake is down the hill and wildflower patch is on the west side of the building. Back in the gravel driveway on the east side of the building. You can park on gravel or back closer to the hook ups and park on grass. There are two sewer hook ups, you can use either of them.

This was our first Hipcamp experience..and was it awesome!! Everything was so well cared for. All our needs were met and then some!! We loved sitting on the dock watching the boaters, found a great spot just down the road to put in our kayaks. Having firewood there was awesome! The patio by the Lake was so well laid out it was easy to enjoy the Lake!! We will be back for sure! Thanks for the great weekend!!

We loved staying at Mary's RV site on Silver Lake! Beautiful view of the lake and the best part is so private and secluded being the only hook up site on the property!!! Full hook-ups for RV was a big bonus. A wonderful and beautiful spot and so quiet, relaxing and a peaceful place. Mary was a great host and took good care of us checking in on us and making sure we were safe and she responded super quick anytime we had questions. Thank you Mary love your camp site, we will be back!!!

We enjoyed the beautiful setting on Silver Lake. With multiple areas to explore and relax like a stroll around the wild flower patch, sitting in the dock chairs, and enjoying the lake view from the shade of the patio swing on the lakeside patio, it's a great place to decompress. Unfortunately, the heat and humidity kept us from enjoying the picnic table in the wild flowers, a nap under the willow tree, the kayaks on the lake, or an evening campfire. But that's a "me problem" as I don't do well in that weather. For us, Campsite 1 at Silver Lake Camp Sweet Camp was a great place to get to know our new-to-us Class C motorhome with the use of full hookups, the birds outside our windows, and the lake a leisurely stroll away. Thank you Mary and Eric for sharing your little piece of the world!

Private camping spot with access to small lake. Nice dock-we loved the dock/fishing chairs. Quiet area, Long lot, Mature trees(some with Swings). Hilly but grass is soft and well groomed/landscaped. Fire pit area is perfect for cooking/campfire needs with chairs provided. Full hook-ups worked well. Would recommend.
