Quiet relaxing campground close to a small but functional town. Power only hook-ups but drinking water close by and easy to use.
The only negative is the lack of trash receptacles but that is a minor inconvenience. Just use the "pack it in, pack it out" plan and it won't be a problem.

Beautiful, large, private campsites in a serene setting. Facilities were clean and well taken care of. Site #10 was wonderful and we will book it again if we visit Elk River again.

Always a great spot to camp. Well tended restrooms and cleaned up sites. The host, Larry, was helpful and pleasant. I often wonder why the forest service doesn't rent out an unoccupied host site to add revenue.

The camp hosts were very nice. Larry and his wife came through daily to make sure the bathroom was clean and stocked. Larry came by and introduced himself to our father and us (can't not remember his wife's name) and they were very friendly. We knew the previous host Larry for years since we all come together each year for our family reunion. Thank you for keeping everything so clean. We appreciate you.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
