Big Elk Camp and Canoe Rental sits directly off a main road with highway access, putting a grocery store and gas station within walking distance. The campground accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Several long-term RV residents call this place home, creating an open layout that offers little privacy for tent campers.
The facility maintains clean restrooms and showers, while a dump station serves RV travelers. Road noise continues throughout the night, with early morning sounds from commercial vehicles servicing nearby businesses. Float trips launch from the property, and public access during evening hours brings additional visitors to the water's edge. Fish populate the adjacent waters but show little interest in bait after frequent angling pressure. Campers wanting more seclusion and tree cover might prefer Kozy Kamp nearby.
