Good group camping at Elk Lake

This group site is in a stellar location on beautiful Elk Lake withon Itasca State Park. You can drive in, hike or bike in, or boat in. The campground can accomodate small rvs and tents, though there are no hookups. There is a large screened in shelter perfect for cooking or group activities. There is a good canoe landing on the lake adjacent to the site, though you do have to access it via stairs to the lake. At the camp site there is a water faucet, picnic tables and shelter tables, and outhouses. Firewood is provided. Private secluded location for large family groups, scout troops, etc. The location is amazing but the facilities are older and showing their age hence the 4 rather than 5 star rating.
