Silverline Resort, near Winthrop, Washington is on Pearrygin Lake. Having a surface area of 212 acres, it is a little smaller than Long Lake, at 225 acres. No islands, a little wider. Other than Silverline on the north end, there is one piece of private property next us, the rest of the shoreline is a State Park with 2 campgrounds on the east side, the south & west sides are state owned, with no public access.
Silverline. Of 50 RV sites, only 24 are gravel, the rest are on grass, as are the 30 tent sites, plus 2 group sites which can handle either. As the pictures will show, motorhomes and 5th wheels park on the grass – I still cringe a little as I see one of them pull onto the nice green grass! However, the sites are allowed to “rest” after being used for several days, in order to keep them green. For instance, this weekend, we turned away campers, but had 4 sites empty.
My job is “The Water Guy”, (actually 2 of us), we start the pump at 8:00 am, and it may run as late as midnight. Every open site & open areas get at least 45 minutes of water every day, some more. Some areas are underground sprinklers, others we use hoses & sprinklers. We have people asking for the grass sites, just a GREAT place for kids to be.
Here are a few pictures that I took. Sorry, but I had trouble loading them, so they don't seem to be expanding to full size.
This is a view of the State Park from the top of our resort yesterday.
This is a view down the lake, the other State Park campground, with a swimming beach is around the point to the left. At the end of the lake is the barn from the old homestead, the house that stood by the tree burned the 4th of July.
This is a picture of our beach, boat area, docks. 3 docks, one fishing only are on the water.
This shows some of the camp sites adjoining the Common Area, view of the lake.
The other side of the Common Area, also on grass, and views of the lake.
Yes, we do have regular RV sites with full hookups.
This is just a tranquil view of the lake on a quieter day, also from the top of the Resort. I should mention, yesterday, our temp reached 98 degrees, but this morning, it was 60 degrees. We have always gotten down into the 50's at night, most days in the 80's, and sunny. Even had a campfire last night after dark.

Looks like you are working at a nice place. I'm not sure I can commit to once a week postings but am trying to be sure i update at least once a month. (Sorry!)
Wow! What a beautiful place to spend the summer! Thanks for the update and pictures. I'm going to recommit to my weekly/bi-weekly post. So, pictures and updates will be posted tomorrow.
Hey Dad...nice pics! Looks like you guys are in a real nice spot for the summer. Had most the gang over here for the 4th (Bev, Chris, Adriana, Carol, Doug, Gail, Dave, Leslie, Evelyn) and they all say "HI!"...oh, and the Fab says "HI!" too!
Just looking at your pictures made me want to be there. It looks like a great place to spend the summer months. We could use some of that 60 degree weather here.
