Silver Lake Provincial Park

Would recommend visiting here for a day trip, not camping. The noise from HWY 7 is loud at all hours of the night. The washrooms need updating and cleaning like the other numerous reviews say. The park itself is well maintained and the water is nice.

The best provincial park around. Definitely my go to campground. Been coming here for 25 yrs. It's very clean, the beach is beautiful, campsites are a good size, and the washrooms, garbages and paths are spotless. The summer students are like ants they just don't stop. It's nice to see they take pride in their job. Would give 10 stars if I could.

My husband and I had such a lovely time at Silver Lake this past week. Our campsite (42) had excellent privacy, was surrounded by water (the breeze kept the site cool and the bugs away during the day), and was very spacious. The majority of the other sites are on par with the other provincial parks we have stayed at in terms of quality and privacy. In my view, many of the sites are out of the question either due to proximity to Highway 7 or to the marsh. It's a small park with fewer things to do than some others but they do a great job of offering extra activities (e.g. meditation walks, etc.) to provide some extra entertainment. The washrooms at the comfort stations were average but the showers were atrocious. They need to be properly cleaned every day instead of just hosed down. The sites themselves all look well maintained and we saw people out maintaining the grass in and around the sites. The staff were all very friendly. We needed a boost when we left the site, which the Park was able to accommodate. The staff were all very friendly, especially Bob. I have rated 4/5 stars because of the road noise and showers, such combined, made it slightly less desirable than some of the other 5-star parks we've stayed at before. All-in-all, my husband and I had a fantastic trip and will be returning.

weekend away at silver lake !!! it's a smaller campground but great if your not big on crowds. we stayed wed-friday in June. the weather was a little iffy but it was great to have a site on the water. there was a tornado watch during our stay but luckily it seemed to have blown over. The park warden (officer Gavin) came by and checked in on us and even brought us some firewood since we missed the park store hours. he went beyond when he didn't have too!!! such a great impression for our first time visiting the park. would definitely visit again.

This place has a lot to offer to campers and visitors. Kudos to the staff who clean this park, washrooms, picnic area and parks are very neat and clean. It has lots of beautiful picturesque landscapes to offer. We went there on the weekend for a picnic and it was quiet and cloudy. Definitely worth an hour plus drive from Ottawa!
