Elk Lake Campground offers a beautiful and relaxing setting with great access to the lake, and visitors appreciate the close proximity to a nearby resort with food and activities. While many campers enjoyed their stays, highlighting the cleanliness of the campground and the helpfulness of the camp host, there were some concerns about site conditions, restroom cleanliness, and a lack of water supply. Overall, the campground is seen as a nice spot for camping and outdoor activities, with some areas for improvement.

Perfect spot #8 and a fantastic couple of days. Also clean and well taken care of. We have been going to Elk Lake for 20 years now and would never Go anywhere else!! Great camp hosts also!

This campground was the perfect little stop for our summer adventure. Very family friendly atmosphere (although it was just me and my dog). Our campsite was a quick little walk down to the lake, which was absolutely beautiful. I'll be back next summer for sure!

My wife, daughter and I camped here two nights in Aug. ‘19 because we hiked to the top of the South Sister mountain. The campsite was large enough for two tents and we had access to water a few steps away. The vault toilets were clean and there was trail access to the lake.

I camped at Elk Lake with some friends the very last weekend of the season. It was so great. We had the whole place to ourselves. We got snowed and there was a llama on the loose somewhere. We managed to stay dry and warm despite the conditions.

Arrived mid week in late September with a reservation. Campground was completely empty, not even a camp host. Site I had reserved was too unlevel for my camper, so I moved to another walk up site. Beautiful campground, some noise from highway but not much traffic at night. Having a small resort next door convenient if you don't want to cook, plus they sell firewood.
