Driving directionsFrom Enumclaw, Washington, drive approximately 33 miles southeast on State Highway 410 toward Mount Rainier National Park.
The campground is situated off State Highway 410 and is accessible throughout the summer season. However, winter snow conditions may require detours, as one user noted: "Only issue we had was the road through the park to the campsite hadn’t been cleared of snow so it took around 2h 30 to drive all the way around." Roads are paved and suitable for cars, RVs, and trailers.

Best Time to Camp at Silver Springs Campground

Summer transforms Silver Springs into an outdoor paradise, with moderate temperatures creating ideal conditions for everything from lazy riverside afternoons to ambitious summit attempts. Morning mist often dances through the forest canopy, burning off to reveal crystal-clear mountain vistas. As autumn arrives, the campground becomes a photographer's dream of golden larches and crimson vine maples. Winter brings a dramatic transformation as snow blankets the landscape, creating a wonderland for the adventurous while limiting vehicle access—nature's way of ensuring only the most dedicated explorers discover its frozen beauty.
