Elk Horn Campground

Elk Horn is really beautiful place to camp at. Camp sites are very clean and the camp host is on top of everything. They only have toilets no showers. It’s a first come first serve. There is no reservations. The river is really nice and cold. And what’s really cool is that area has extremely large rocks where people can jump off of. It’s pretty deep. Just need to be safe about it. I recommend everyone to go check that campground out also. Me and my family love camping. But we also love to free camp a lot better. Elkhorn has really great prices for there sites. I recommend that everyone come and check this little peace of paradise out.
