We love coming here with our family. Doug our camp host was great. He checked in on us and made sure we knew how to find him if we had any issues.

We love the Group Camp and hope to come again next year. The river was a great way to cool off.

Elks Flat campground group site worked out well for us. We usually have a group of 10 couples or more camping together for a week and this is the first time we were there. It was nice to have our own pavilion, group fire pit, pit toilet, and garbage dumpster/collection. The site was barricaded off so we didn’t have people constantly driving through.

Had a great experience with our family reunion, one of the places that is awesome to go to is Rocky Bar. Rocky bar has a little store there with food and gifts. A nice place to take a break.
