Elk Creek Campground

The showers need to be fixed!! It's been several years since they have worked.

Stayed here for one night. I had reserved spot B73, but upon arrival there were many open sites so we took B76. Parking was easy and the site was close to the water. The bathrooms had running water, were clean and well stocked. I would camp here again.

there were nice location,ranger was kind There are almost no mosquitoes.i love that place!

An absolutely beautiful campground. We were right on the water, so it was very windy in the afternoons. The service was amazing, the rangers at the visitors center and doing the events at the amphitheater were absolutely wonderful, the camp hosts were very friendly. We would definitely stay at this campground again

This visit was uneventful. Uneventful is always good, could be better, could be worse.
Registration was a snap, no issues. I figured out how to get around on recreation.gov last year.
The site was empty and clean when I arrived. I expected nothing less.
I always like when camp hosts stop by, say hi, introduce themselves, and offer some assistance if needed. I do everything from my wheel chair. I did not have any difficulty getting around in my chair.
The "D" loop will be one of our regular stops when we are passing through the area.

Beautiful canyon

Really nice and big campground with great views and nice bathrooms

Had the tent area to ourselves last week. Would pick a different site next time, but we definitely enjoyed our stay and had zero problems or issues.

Surprisingly beautiful campground. For some reason, I was expecting something different (too much researching sites, I guess). Our site backed up to the Amphitheater (site A32) and we were able to set up our camp chairs and listen in on the presentations (far enough that the projector screen was tough to read and the speaker was audible, but not loud). The wind picked up every afternoon (late August), so we had to break down the EZ Ups. Bathrooms (on A loop, at least) are flush toilets with a sink and hand dryer. Water fountain, bottle filler and spigot at each bathroom location (our fountain and bottle filler were out of order). The construction on US50 (Mar '23 to Oct '23) was not fun in the rain on Friday and there was a one hour delay trying to get out on Monday morning.

The only major issue I had was that there was a large group camping downhill from us that were up hagning out and talking by the fire until well after 2am. I assume that quiet hours begin no later than 11pm. The hosts probably had no idea, based on their distance from the group sites. A courtesy check on all the sites after quiet hours begin to make sure things are winding down would be nice. In this case, a return visit to those still carrying on would have been needed.

You are less than a half hour from "downtown" Gunnison and about an hour from Black Canyon NP (highly recommended, especially after dark if you like watching the night skies). Boat ramp for your watercraft and paved roads all the way to your site for those with vehicles not made for off-roading. Full bars with AT&T, roaming signal with T-Mobile. I highly recommend this campground and can't wait to come back.

website needs to describe campsite sizes better. thought we were limited on witch sites were available. but after we got there, there were many sites that would have fit our truck & trailer.
