It was a bit more crowded than I was hoping for but everyone was really friendly and helpful. We had our dogs off leash as did everyone else and that was fine. The water was perfect for swimming. We also did kayaking. The ground was pretty rocky so bring water shoes and dont plan on getting a good sandy spot unless you get up to the lake waaaaay early. We got there about 11:30 and it was hard to find a spot. Beautiful view of the mountains and incredibly fun to swim and play in the water. 💙

Small, but picturesque campground, right on Elk Lake. Beautiful view from most sites. Quiet, except for the road noise.fortunately the road isnt horribly busy. Vault toilet isnt too bad.

It just doesnt cut it. No water. Hard turns & garbage cans in way!

Its a nice and simple campground. Enough space to spread and breathe a little. The camp host was super nice and welcoming. I havent had any complaints so far with Elk lake in general except for the masses of people at the resort in the summer :)

Beautiful and Peaceful

This place is rocky, has no water to fill gallon containers, limited flat areas for tents, one bathroom shared with day use.If you dont get one of the 2-3 sites on water, then you will access water to play in or float in at the boat ramp. Not the safest.Lots of coming/going of cars with day use traffic.Lastly, right on hwy, so you hear cars all the time. Average at best.Better campgrounds in area.

Very nice rustic campground. Beware of yellow jackets, swarms come out whenever you bring out food.

Best place to camp as this place is less crowded, can play in water since its shallow. View of lake is wonderful ❤️

With a view of Mt. Bachelor and broken top from the west shore , and the three sisters from the east , this place is hard to beat . 30 minutes from Bend , a real treat on a hot day . sailing and kayaking are huge here , good fly fishing too .

Nice quiet place

Winndy!

Busy with day use people, a little bit of highway noise - 10 - 30 from campsites.
