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.

Excellent for large groups. Be sure to bring wagons to bring your gear from the car to the campsites. River is right nearby and the Signal Knob loop is a very good hike with beautiful views.

Group Camp B is a large, well maintained car camping site with an unusual twist. Your car will be about 100 yards from the actual fire ring and tent pads. Still close enough for kitchen-sink level of car camping though you'll be making a few trips to get it all in place.
It's close to very good backpacking trails with lots of good primitive campsites here and there.
We went to Strasburg reservoir and back on a loop and it was all good! With the leaves down, we could really see out and around in the woods. Best enjoyed in the winter.

We absolutely loved camping at Elizabeth Furnace and would 100% do it again! The small group campground was perfect for our large family and secluded so that we didn't see anyone else. We hiked the trails at the day use area which were great for the smaller kids and of course had to go across the swinging bridge several times. Played in Passage Creek. Just had the best experience!!!
