What Guests Are Saying
The North Fork Elk Group Camp offers a remote camping experience, ideal for those seeking solitude. However, it has vault toilets instead of flush toilets, no cell phone reception, and limited nearby hiking options, requiring a significant drive for better trails. Overall, some campers may find it lacking in amenities and accessibility.

Super fun group campsite with a lot of young-kid friendly hikes around the area. Loved being out in the forest!

The website mentioned that this group campsite had flush toilets, but it only had vault toilets. The area felt extremely remote, and the hiking trails were deserted with hardly anyone around. There’s no cell phone reception, and getting any signal or supplies requires at least a 30-minute drive. There aren’t any good hikes nearby either-you need to drive at least an hour for better options. I wouldn’t book this group camp again, especially since it doesn’t have showers.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
