The cleanest dump toilets I have ever seen! The campground was well-maintained, quiet, and easy to find. We saw a moose and a couple of vultures on the way in!

Elk creek campground is a nice place to stay. There is electric hookups but no water except pumps. It is close to town and the best Huckleberry ice cream around. There are lots of trails to ride with a side by side or 4 wheeler for now. Till Potlatch shuts down their roads to motorized vehicles which really keep people from camping there.

We liked that our campsite was tucked into the trees and pretty private. The bathrooms were very clean.

- 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.

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.
