Run down campsite not very well maintained
I was planning on staying a few nights at Elmwood campground but on entering the site it put me off straight away. Very badly maintained signs just about to fall down and fair amount of trash. There were about 6 groups camping when I passed through, I waved at everyone to be polite and one woman…
Nice, quiet
Nice open field. Has pit toilet and 1 water faucet. Currently overwhelmed with may flies. But over all a nice campground. No cell reception
Quiet
I understand the point of this campground.
It is a very large area with no designated campsites. The vault toilet has grass growing around the entrance that is about knee high. There was a water spigot on site that worked. I would filter it first.
No one was there when we showed up for a mid-day…
