Elk Mountain Campground

Great campground in a good area. The grade were slightly sloped but otherwise great. There was good ranger presence and few campers. Bathrooms are cleaned often and have everything but a shower. 5stars if they had showers(maybe somewhere else in campground). There is a community water hookup, trans, picnic, etc. we had a small grill and picnic table. Early in the AM there were lots of animals out. Prairie dogs, Bison, and we could hear elk in the woods. We will camp here again in the future. Bad cell service in the further back campgrounds. Better towards front of park. They have small cabin they may rent to campers too.

We really like this area. We were here last fall as well. Unfortunately, both stays our 35’ 5th wheel just doesn’t fit anywhere. The sites are very narrow and they are a leveling nightmare. The ranger allowed us to park our truck in the group site nearby since their wasn’t a reservation for that area. See photo. This is an old campground and has not updated to fit newer RV’s with slide outs. The website doesn’t have width listed only length. The camphost was super nice and the maintenance Ranger helped us with traffic cones since our slides were in the roadway. See pic. Last fall we were near the entrance and the cattle guard was so loud when a vehicle drove over it. It needs some work to get it level and less noisy. We had a difficult time leveling in that spot too, on the hillside. The bathroom in our loop needs some updating as well. Birds are nesting right at the entry and the poop is everywhere. The sink also has some broken parts. They really try to maintain the campground and keep the grass manicured. The bison, prairie dogs, coyotes and so many birds were really cool.

We booked a weekend stay camping trip at this location (Elk Mountain Campground) and were originally in D Loop. However by random luck after booking we saw that D loop had no working facilities due to maintenance. Something we would have never seen if I hadn't had checked the website one more time before leaving. We moved our location instead to B loop. We stayed at site 28B. This shouldn't even be considered a campsite due to the extreme hill you are on. There is absolutely NO flat ground to set up a tent on 28B. The incline is so extreme, our sleeping bags kept sliding to the door of the tent. Even the picnic table leans so far it's difficult to set anything on it without sliding off. We planned to stay all weekend but left after only one night. The headaches we got from such an extreme slope was horrendous for sleeping. And obviously we put our heads uphill, anything else would be completely out of the question. Lights from the toilet facilities shine all night long straight into your tent. Was told from the camp attendee he'd come see us and tell us bit about the site and its offerings, besides the occasional wave as they drove by we never saw them again. I was given three different stories about firewood, One said it was free, another said it was NOT free and cost roughly $7 a bundle, and a posted notice of campsite rules on the toilets said it was available but donations were accepted. Still never found out where to actually get firewood so I brought my own. Will never get a campsite at this campground again. Stay away from Site 28B if you're tent camping.

Loved our Camphost couple!!!! Would love to touch base with Sue on social! Her and her husband were fantastic 😍

Be careful on which ground you choose because many are heavily slanted. The bathrooms are clean and nice but there are no showers. It was a safe and quiet area.

Nice camping sites. The parking spaces are not level for those tent sites.

None of the toilets in the campground are working, they simply put a sign on the door but still happy to take your reservation and charge you if you wish to cancel!! Would be a decent campground IF they had working bathrooms. I would normally think this would be an emergency and/or they would need to CLOSE the campground or reduce the nightly fee to $0 since there is no amenities?
