In the agency’s own words
Silver Creek Marsh Campground is located 30 minutes south of Silver Lake, Oregon. The Silver Creek March Campground offers campsites at a popular fishing spot along Silver Creek in a beautiful forest setting. This spacious, timbered camp offers pastoral meadow and marsh views and great camping. There are 15 campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, two vault toilets, horse corrals, and potable water. You can enjoy bird watching, fishing, and hiking besides horseback riding. For horses, you'll find large corrals with about six stalls that can accommodate 10-12 horses. There are also five hitching rails. On site is Silver Creek March Trailhead which provides access to the Fremont National Recreation Trail #160 - Northern Segment . You'll find good signage on this section of the trail with mile indicators and directions.

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and a night costs $6 with nothing added. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
“$6/Night for single unit, $2/Night per extra vehicle” · the U.S. Forest Service’s own fee record
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($6), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
