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.

Nice campground, good kayaking on the lake. Lots of
hiking trails in the area. Mosquitoes were not bad
being it was the end of the August. The Elk Lake resort is walking distance from the campground if you want to eat out. Cell reception is fairly good.

Campsite was great overall. It was a little sloped for our tent, but we were able to find a good spot for it the second day.

All around great campground! The lake was beautiful, bathrooms were clean, and campground was close to resort which offered a number of different activities. We enjoyed live music right on the lake for free! We were also very impressed with our kind, helpful, and generous our camp host (Becky) was!

So campground and elk lake itself are 5/5 stars. But I wanted to just note on here and make clear this is really only small RV or sprinter van friendly site as well as site 9 and 11. Super narrow and uneven road into camp site with trees lining it makes it near impossible for a tow behind trailer to back in.

The lack of water in the camp was unacceptable. My family has camped there for years and the effort to supply or notify campers of this problem was effortless. The host did everything that she could to inform people, but the forest service was pathetic.
