Elkhorn Shores

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

With sites ranging from $25-$100 per night, Elkhorn Shores provides electric and water hookups alongside standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and a dump station. The forested campground sits near the Elkhorn River, offering both drive-in and walk-in access options. Staff receives positive feedback for helpfulness and overall management.

Campers should note that turnarounds can be tight for larger rigs, requiring careful maneuvering. A nearby volunteer fire station uses an air raid siren and searchlights to summon personnel, which some visitors find disruptive. Sites close to the water provide direct river access for those prioritizing waterfront camping. For additional options in the region, consider campgrounds near Waterloo.

Great place for a family-just needs a little upkeeping

Overall we enjoyed our stay, the amenities that came with the glamping tent are great. We enjoyed that it came with a mini fridge and paper products that were needed. Would have enjoyed a list of all the items and amenities that the glamping tent came with. We brought a lot of extra stuff that wasn’t needed because we were unsure of what the glamping tent supplied. It’s probably time for new linens on the bed as the sheets and pillowcases have many stains on them. The wood that is provided isn’t enough for the whole weekend, so do recommend bringing a bundle of your own. The glamping tent requires you to use porta potties which is fine, but their bathrooms weren’t clean. They would probably benefit from daily cleaning. As far as sweeping out cobwebs, dead bugs, and trash. Definitely need an upgrade the shower house, I personally would never be able to shower in a facility that isn’t clean. Overall the bathroom facilities need some attention, but the tent was enjoyable.

Fun and busy place

Staff is very nice and the place is run well. The turnarounds can be tight so know your rig. There’s a volunteer fire station nearby that uses an air raid siren and search lights to summon personnel. I did not like that, as it triggered some flashbacks.
