Excellent view! Great being close to water! We were sad that the dock was damaged due to recent flooding but still had fun. Camp hosts are amazing!

Fishing at Card Creek was fun and easy to get to the water to fish. Good hiking trails at the Elk City Lake.

Even though this area flooded last week, the gentleman in charge had the few available sites ready for use. He was welcoming and accommodating and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We enjoyed the Timber Ridge Hiking Trail, kayaking in the swollen creek and biking the hilly road, and we look forward to returning and seeing the creek within its banks!

Quiet campsite on the reservoir. Very nice picnic tables, grills, and playground for kids. A lot of space between spots. Would stay here again.
