From Vanderbilt take Sturgeon Valley Rd north approximately 22 miles. When the road turns to gravel make a left on Twin Lakes Rd. Elk Hill Trail Camp is about 6 miles down on the left hand side, follow the signs.
I just went to visit some family that was calling that way. Seemed to have a pretty nice setup, pretty far off the main road. Nice fire rings and tie up areas for horses. Was impressed there was a handicap ramp to ease getting on/off of the horses. Nice wide ramp leading down to the river nearby, to water and cool down.
This is a fantastic place to ride. The trails are well kept and it is beautiful in the woods. There are alot of well marked trails. We didn't see any Elk but plan on returning again. This is a definite must ride camp!
