I LOVE everything about Elkmont. We stayed at campsite A16 it was perfect with a wee little stream behind our site. When we arrive I noticed a Owl chillin in the trees, I watched a while hin for a while, while I un packed our things. Then later that evening our camp neighbors came over and said there were a family of owls who flew around and watched over ever one. From our site we walked to the main part of the river, but preferred our site to the main river. I definatly cant wait to go back. Oh and the dish washing area is super cute & very clean too!
