It was a beautiful fall day to get on water. Was happy to see their dock was still it. Pretty well had the place to ourselves.
Elk Rock is a beautiful park and the camping spots are well kept. Loved the firepit and how clean it was! I also loved how the spots were pull through and well graveled. The whole circle camping area was all pull through spots with a big open field in the middle, perfect for a volleyball net. The bathrooms were also clean and the showers had high pressure and hot water, a big plus. Oh and it is close to Knoxville and Pella! We did a lot of running around and it was convenient to come back to rest at Elk Rock for lunch or dinner and then go back into town. My family definitely plans on going back for another enjoyable weekend camping.
Great campsites in the non-electric loop (campsites numbered in the 80's). Plenty of room to spread out. We rented four spots, ended up realizing the ground was too hard at the flattest spot of each site for tent stakes (seems to be an old gravel pad about 2" below dirt). Gotta get creative and sleep on a slight incline, but that's camping! Fire pits all have swivel grills, each site has a picnic table. Bathrooms are about a block away, and are sooo clean.
If you want to take your bike out, the trails are now covered in deep sand for the horses. So it makes it almost impossible. And if you’re hiking your shoes will fill up with sand.
Another great hidden gem. Camping, fishing, hiking, biking, and beautiful scenery. We have been visiting as many as we can this summer and marking some for return trips. This is one of the returns. We had a limited time to explore, and used most of it fishing. Will be back and will bring our small boat for better exploring next time. Clean campsites and easy to find.
