Silver Lake Campground

Is your ideal getaway a peaceful wilderness retreat accessible only by foot or bike? Silver Lake Campground in Salisbury, Vermont, offers the ultimate off-the-grid camping experience amidst the Green Mountain National Forest. Its hike-in design ensures a serene atmosphere, with just 15 primitive campsites scattered along wooded paths for maximum privacy and immersion in nature. Campers enjoy easy access to Silver Lake’s tranquil waters, perfect for swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boating.

Each campsite includes essentials like a fire ring, picnic table, and bear-proof food storage, while vault toilets and a natural spring (for water treatment) underline the rustic appeal.
