The more thrilling rides are cornered in one side of the park labeled as Roller Coaster Alley. These include the wooden Tremors Roller Coaster and Timber Terror, as well as the newer After Shock ride at 191 feet tall.

The water park has a kid-friendly area with huge wave pools, a lazy river, speed slides, tube slides, racing slides, and slides with their rafting tubes. There are lots of large lockers on this side of the park for $10 and simply require a 4-digit code to unlock.

You can also just leave things in the RV and get your hand stamped for re-entry into the park.  Inner tubes can be rented or you can grab one of the first-come, first-served tubes available in the lazy river or for the slides.

There are food stands all throughout the park varying from burgers and ice cream to subs and Mexican food.  You can also grab cold beers and alcoholic frozen drinks from the swim-up bar on their lazy river.

Their Main Street, between the water park and theme park, is lined with charming shops and restaurants including a saloon. The pathway is divided by a train track with a steam engine train that you can take for a ride.  The park also puts on occasional shows for the whole family.

Silverwood’s campground has tent sites and full hookup RV sites within walking distance of the park entrance.  They offer RV guests discounted admission to the park at $44/regular ticket ($24 for kids and seniors) in addition to free WiFi, fire rings, and access to laundry facilities.

The park has RV sites with 30 and 50-amp power on gravel pads, as well as a play area, volleyball court, a camp store, and restrooms with showers. It isn’t a luxurious resort but it’s easily the most convenient place to stay if you’re planning on visiting the park.

During the week, their current 2018 rates for 30-amp RV sites are $49/night and 50-amp sites are $59/night.  Over the weekend (Fridays & Saturdays), 30-amp sites cost $54/night and 50-amp sites are $64/night.  You can read more details on their website and on RV LIFE Campgrounds.
