Site 1 - Elk Island Getaway

Second time camping here, and another great stay in the books. Super private, no one else was around. Great walking path area for dogs. Grass is soft and easy to stake into for tents.

Site 1 - Elk Island Getaway

Kara and Dans land was beautiful. It was very spacious and had lots of nice trails/lakes/ponds. They were super helpful and responded quickly if we ever had any questions. We enjoyed our stay with them and would recommend to anyone wanting a calm getaway!

Site 6 - Elk Island Getaway!

Peaceful get away

Nice and quick get away with my doggo! I like the set up and since I was the only one there it felt really private and secluded. Would go back again!

Not impressed

We did not get Site 1 as the host said because of all the rain they had it was to wet,but as walking to to site there was just one little wet spot.the site she put us in was ok as there was on no other campers there.She never came around a ask if everything was ok.When we drove in it was a just yard.it needs to be keep up weeds all over the place.The only thing it was peaceful and quite.
