This 9 unit campground is a forested site along the northern shore of Silverthorne Lake, near the town of Houston. There are some special features here such as: small, gravel boat launch, picnic shelter and extensive trails connected to the Morice Mountain Nordic Ski Area. The campsites are spread out along the shoreline - some in private treed sites while others in grassy outcroppings. The lake is not a good fishing lake but is popular for paddling and swimming.
This recreation site hosts a Nordic ski facility, a hiking trail (Old Pines Trail), and Silverthorne Lake campground. The cross-country ski trails utilize old logging roads - roads/trails that can also be used for mtn biking, walking or hiking.
When the snow falls the trails are groomed for cross country skiing by the Morice Mountain Nordic Ski Club. The ski club maintains a lodge during the ski season and grooms the trails regularly.
This recreation site is non-motorized except for the access road, Silverthorne FSR, to the Old Pines Trail.
