Silver Summit RV Park & Jeep

Silver Summit RV Park anchors its business on the banks of the Animas River, right beside the looping tracks of the Durango to Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Since 1997, this Silverton establishment has served as a homebase for visitors seeking to Jeep, ATV, hike, bike, or fish in the surrounding San Juan Mountains. The park features grassy, roomy sites equipped with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric hookups, along with water and sewer connections. Guests benefit from free WiFi and 24-hour front desk service, making it a reliable spot for both short stays and extended adventures. Beyond lodging, Silver Summit offers Jeep rentals for those who wish to take their own vehicles out or explore via rented rigs. The staff maintains an extensive network of local trail knowledge and sells corresponding guidebooks and maps to help navigate the backcountry. Evenings offer a distinct atmosphere where guests can sit in lawn chairs, listen to water cascading down Kendall Mountain, and view the clear night sky. The park is recommended by major outdoor organizations including Trailer Life, Good Sam Club, and Woodall's. It serves as a convenient launchpad for day trips to nearby landmarks such as Mesa Verde National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Aztec Ruins. The San Juan Skyway scenic drive is also easily accessible from this location.
