Great campground to setup camp...Kids had a great time hiking and climbing...The campground has water and clean bathrooms throughout the grounds...
Wonderful respite from everything going on right now. Great Camp Hosts, beautiful scenery, lots of fresh air. Only a short drive from town as well. There's fishing near by and on sight facilities. Wish I could have stayed longer! Just don't let the critters get your food...
I was there for 5 days last week and loved it! I was alone with my dog. The hosts were wonderful. and I felt very safe there. I looked at some of the the other campsites nearby and Elephant Rock was by far the nicest!
