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.

The reservation system used for this campground is ridiculous. We were there for a week and there were multiple open sites each night that were “reserved” but nobody showed up. It was disappointing to see campsites not being utilized when they could have been. The beach was great and we had a ton of fun! It would be nice if the reservation system actually worked.

Site 11 should not be listed as a trailer or RV friendly site, we have a pop up and we could barely get turned around in the little turn around area by the site. It was also unclear as to where the parking spot for the site actually was. The parking spot we ended up using faced out into the turn around area and there was a tent site directly next to us as well. This site would be great as a tent site though, it is on the end and has a trail down to the water!

The campground was great, HOWEVER the registration process was NOT. According to the online site, there were no single campsites available for the 2 consecutive nights we planned to be there, so we reserved 2 different sites, paid more than the first come, first served fees, and thought we would have to move after the first night. When I tried to call on the phone, I got someone in Texas who could not help (I live in WA and the campground is in Oregon). It turned out that NO ONE camped in those sites either night, so we could have had either one for our 2 consecutive nights. The wrong names were on the "reserved" posts at the site, NOT including our name and making it look like someone else would be there, not us. The first site was in the blazing sun with no shade, so we switched to a "first come, first served" site which we stayed at for both of our nights. Fortunately, the campground was not anywhere near full, so no one was inconvenienced by our change, but we could not update it online and there was no camp host present.
