Elk River Camp and RV Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

With reservations available and sites accommodating RVs up to 50 feet, Elk River Camp and RV Park provides full hookups along the Elk River near Gassaway. The private campground charges $20-$35 per night and accepts cash payments. Owner Mark meets late arrivals at a local gas station to guide them in via the narrow gravel access road.

Sites feature 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections, with each including a fire pit, barbecue grill, and picnic table. Katrina B. notes the hookups are "very modern" and sites are "very well lit." Pavilions provide additional gathering space with commercial metal tables, and one pavilion includes a sink for meal preparation and cleanup. The campground sits directly on the Elk River, giving campers access to swimming, floating, and kayaking.

Road conditions require attention, particularly during wet weather when sites can become muddy. The one-lane gravel entrance poses challenges for larger rigs, with one reviewer's 42-foot fifth wheel dragging its bumper. However, Gary F. found "spacious sites" and ongoing improvements to the facility. For a different experience, Elk River Hotel and Cafe offers lodging options just over three miles east.

Campground under development

Late arrival for overnight stay. Mark, the owner & host, ask us to call & he’d meet us at local gas station so we could follow him to our site. Narrow gravel road to get to the newly developed portion of campground. We arrived during heavy rains & muddy site conditions.

Pros: 50 amp hook-up Water Sewer Mark is a great host

Cons: Gravel pad One lane road in & our Under construction 42’ 5th wheel drug bumper to/from campground Cash only payment

Beautiful and Relaxing.

Beautiful RV Park.  Wonderful sites for parking your RV.  Very well lit with very modern water and electric hook ups.  All slips have a fire pit, bar-b-que grill and picnic tables.  Pavilions have great lighting and dimmers for a softer light.  They also have commercial metal tables to use to prepare and serve meals.  One is equipped with a sink for easy cleanup.  The park is right on the beautiful Elk River where you can swim, float or kayak.  I love this park!!
