Elizabeth Furnace Group Camp offers fantastic amenities, including private campsites and access to a refreshing creek, making it an ideal spot for families and larger groups. While some campers experienced issues with noisy, off-leash dogs, most visitors enjoyed the well-maintained facilities and nearby hiking trails. Overall, the campground is praised for its beautiful surroundings and suitability for group camping, though potential visitors should be aware of the pet etiquette challenges.

No one ever came to unlock gate. There is a combo lock and was never given it. This meant you could not even park. The site itself after walking a long way to get there was very nice. Make sure you can get in.

This is a beautiful campsite in a beautiful setting. In fair weather, this would be a five-star campsite for Scout Troops and other groups of moderate size.
However, if it rains, the tent pads fill with water - in some cases 1-2" deep! There's not a tent in the world that will keep you dry if you pitch it in a 2" deep puddle, so (1) pay attention to the weather, and (2) if it rains, look for an alternate site to pitch your tent.

The site was awesome but the gate was locked and the support line was unreachable

Wonderful as always. We had a huge rainstorm, the trail to the parking lot was quite a river, but our campsite didn't flood at all.

Excellent campsite for 45 scouts and scouters. Six separate campsite areas each with its own fire ring, picnic table, and two large tent pads. The six campsite areas surround a group picnic area with a large fire ring, four picnic tables and benches. A male and female restroom and parking area is 100 yards from the campsite.

I love this campsite! We did an extended family camp out. We love the large fire pit for lots of camp cooking. The kids did a lot of fishing (finally caught something right before we went home - a 5-inch little guy that was promptly released!) and we did a nice hike from the day-use area.
