Why Camp Here
Elk Lake Campground is an older style small hill side campground that is popular with tent campers, but probably not the best for RV campers with RVs or trailers over 30 feet (except host site if unoccupied). The lake was recently voted the most popular in the area, although the fix might have been in because there are many great lakes in the High Cascades area. The roads are somewhat difficult to navigate and the spurs are small. However, there are plenty of excellent tent sites.

Good to Know
There is cell phone coverage and the roads are paved within the campground. Non campers need to have a NW Forest Pass to use the area for the day.

10 MPH speed limit is enforced for boating on Elk.

We expect to have a host in the campground from about Memorial Weekend to Labor Day Weekend. Otherwise an attendant will be visiting the campground two to four times per day.
