Kendall Campground is one of 3 designated camping areas located alongside Mineral Creek, just off Highway 550 and not far from the charming small town of Silverton. Kendall is not a traditional campground, but rather a large space where dispersed camping is allowed. Note that this is a popular area and can fill up quickly during the summer months.

There are a variety of camping sites available at Kendall. Some sites offer a bit of privacy, but for the most part you should expect to be pretty close to your neighbor.

Campsites can accommodate larger trailers and RVs, including some nice back in camping along the creek.

Being a dispersed camping area all campsites are, of course, first come first served. Please observe the 14 day stay limit.

There are no amenities available at Kendall other than a vault toilet.

Again, keep in mind that this is a popular area. Arriving before evening ensures a better chance of securing a campsite.
