The Best RV Campgrounds in the U.S. for Your Next Trip

"About an hour outside of Portland in the Cascade Mountains, Silver Falls State Park is considered the crown jewel of the Oregon State Parks system. The park features the ability to walk behind four waterfalls, a 7.2-mile Trail of Ten Falls, and a campground equipped for visitors. Guests can also enjoy swimming at Upper North Falls via the Rim Trail and strolling under a canopy of old-growth Douglas firs."

Just beautiful! I highly suggest avoiding the weekends but it's beautiful! I loved every step. The forest, the green, the moisture! Nice little hole, many trails, depending on what you want to see! From easy to hard, you can pick. Great hike!

This should probably be one of the first places you visit if you're in the area. The park has a 5-ish mile loop-trail that takes you past 10 waterfalls. There are shorter trails as well. I've gone around both ways and in my experience, starting at the south end is better. You're immediately greeted with one of, if not the best, falls in the park. Parking at the south end is great. It's very crowded at this entrance at times, but the crowd thins out as you get further down the trail. The trail markers are in rough shape on the loop trail so have some idea of where you're going. It's not very physically strenuous, however, so it makes for a low-stress day adventure. You can walk behind the bigger falls. Just be aware that at times, there can be standing water so either have really good balance and hop from stone to stone, or wear rubber boots to just wade through it. It's never very deep, just very cold. In the winter, the stairways can be VERY slick. They are covered in a sheet of ice so tread extraordinarily carefully.

Went here on an adventure to check out waterfalls and it was an absolutely amazing experience.. it's a bit of a hike but well worth it to see some of the best waterfalls in Oregon all in one place.. highly recommend checking it out for yourself. Who knows you might even see a gnome...

What a fabulous place for filming, hiking, walking, bird watching, nature, soaking in the forest....Awesome place. Highly recommend hiking all 10 falls it is an easy hike. Start from the South Falls and loop it clockwise, so many falls so many views. Everyone seems so happy here, no grouchy people anywhere.

I've hiked this place a few time already! I really love all the waterfalls and scenery. The park is well kept, the trail of ten falls is a must do hike! There is a stairway, make sure to do that first and not last! You want to go down them and not up.

Amazing view from behind the waterfalls and gorgeous scenery around. It’s a must visit spot in this area. It’s over 7 mile loop to cover entire hike. But we just took a short loop to visit south falls where we get to see the amazing view behind falls.

This is definitely a must visit! We spent 2 hours there and were able to see 7 of the 10 falls. They all were incredibly beautiful! Some of the trails do get a bit rocky so need to watch footing. There is some uphill hiking involved, but well worth it! We went in mid May in the morning/early afternoon and the weather was perfect and not too warm.

Such a wonderful experience!!! 7.2 miles with 10 stunning waterfalls and beautiful trees. Start from South Falls and go clockwise, a lil muddy but great hike, so many views and mostly shaded. We had so much fun and happy every single steps. Spectacular!!!
