Elk Creek Campground is highly praised for its beautiful, large, and private campsites, well-maintained facilities, and clean bathrooms. Reviewers appreciate the attentive campground hosts and the serene, quiet atmosphere, making it a favorite destination for many. Some minor concerns include occasional noise from logging trucks and a lack of trash receptacles, but these do not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.

We appreciated the peace and quiet afforded by the Elk Creek Campground. It was off-season but there were still many spaces occupied during our stay and everyone was respectful. Neat and clean even though there wasn't a camp host on site this time. We will go back!

We enjoyed the woods and quietness of the camp with family. The things we didn't like about the camp was poor cleaning of the bathrooms. A sign was posted on door of bathroom that they would be cleaned once a week, but that only meant dropping off 3 rolls of toilet paper for half of a full camp for the week. The bathrooms were so gross we cleaned them ourselves a couple of times. Thankfully we had brought TP ourselves. There was no water at camp when we arrived, but later it was turned on. Considering there were no hosts onsite the sites were in good shape and no loud groups around. Also, there is no garbage pickup there and no where in area to dump the garbage. We would definitely check camp out to see how it was cared for before going back. There was a number posted to call on site post, but was not a functioning number.

Love this campsite. Only issue this time was no water, no camp host, and no maintainance on the toilets. Love the area though. So much to do and see.
