Elliot Creek Campground

We initially planned to stay 5 days, but extended to 10 because we liked the campsite and nearby hiking trails so much. Even though most sites are not very private and there is a lot of activity on the lake, it still felt very peaceful. At 8000 feet, the days were comfortable and the nights cool in late July and early August. You can walk 50 feet to a couple isolated spots on the lake shore and set up chairs to swim, fish, relax. In summer, all sites are usually full for the weekends by Thursday afternoon. Monday through Wednesday only had a couple other sites occupied. Allen the camp host was very helpful and interesting to chat with. Stayed here in a 24' trailer. The most secluded sites are ideal for tents. A few sites will handle larger rigs, with 3 pull throughs. Saw a class A in a site for a couple nights.

Good campground if you're in a large group and want to be close to the lake. It can get pretty packed, so if you're looking for a more private camping experience with more space between campgrounds, I'd recommend looking at some other campsites in the area.
