Do you need to reserve if you want to camp, or can you come if and pay the camping fee. i am asking because i leave far and want to make a road trip and stop by elk river to camp.

Karen, the best thing to do is call us and just make sure we have something available. If you're not picky and will set up anywhere then we probably have a spot for you, but the best camping spots get reserved about 6 weeks in advance.

It would be best to call first provided that the big elk isn't flooded

Pat is a very good guy. If you were going to know exactly when you'll be coming through its best to just call and set you up a spot. But honestly, more than likely, there will be a spot open for you all season. Usually no need for a call in. This has been a very wet year which has made the rivers and creeks around here beautiful. Just not great for filling campgrounds.

Good question. Call them. They are really nice ppl. Just there in June
