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.

Beautiful lake! Great paddle boarding and live music on Saturdays at the resort. This is one of my favorite places to camp.

Great campground. Proximity to Broken Top and South Sister was awesome. Our campsite specifically was on a little bit of an incline and was dusty, but the incredible view of the lake more than made up for it. Will camp here again!

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.
