Elk Lake Campground provides both RV and tent camping with walk-in access in west-central Minnesota. The campground features level, grassy sites with most full hookup spots occupied by seasonal RVs, though a few overnight sites remain available with electric service. Water is accessible throughout the grounds, though no dedicated dump station operates on-site.
Tent campers can access lakefront sites via a short walk to the shoreline. The facility allows pets and campfires while providing standard amenities including restrooms and showers. RV sites offer electric, water, and sewer connections for those needing full services. For additional camping choices in the region, visitors can explore campgrounds around Kensington.
