Elk Flat Campground offers beautiful views, clean bathrooms, and convenient amenities like potable water and a dump station. The Cave Lake Overlook trail provides a fun hiking experience, though it's best to go early to avoid heat. Some minor issues include non-functional showers and lack of lighting in restrooms, but overall, it is a pleasant camping destination.

Nice quiet campground but the showers were not functional. Very disappointed. Not really worth the price without access to showers.

Elk Flat was great! Beautiful views, potable water, dump station, clean bathrooms, some shade, fairly private sites, and close to Cave Lake. The Cave Lake Overlook trail was a really fun family hike, but go early - we went too late and the trail was hot on our dogs' feet (from the Northeast - rookie move).

A beautiful Campground set in the junipers with an amazing view. The bathrooms don't have lights, or there aren't light bulbs, so if you go at night you need a light but they have showers and the water is warm! Just don't forget your light.

Nice, mostly spacious, not much shade if you visit during the summer. 16 individual spots, 1 handicap spot, and a group campground. Clean bathrooms and showers available on site.

This small, clean and beautifully situated campground is perfect for those who don’t need hookups. The sites are big and fairly private, there is shared potable water and the private flush toilets with a sink are clean and convenient. Warm private showers are so nice. Beautiful views. Perfect for a short stay!
