Nothing new here, that other reviews have not said, but "metoo" is useful.I have been coming to Elk Lake for years, only over nighting since 2022.The road in is paved asphalt, just one lane and a bit narrow. The host is in the first spot, but we did not talk to them. Others said the host was nice. The toilets and sites were clean, the dumpsters had room for more trash. The road narrows down near the day use area, and people park on the road, so I suggest cars only down to that area.The site was roomy for my 25' motor home, I backed in with the help of a spotter. I was titled 2.8 degrees to the side, and 1 degree down in the back. Easily fixed with my jacks. Lots of cure chipmunks, some fat. Nice a quiet, only a little highway noise during the day. A short walk to the toilets and water, a little further to the say use area and beach, then a bit more to the lodge. The lodge restaurant closes at 6:30pm , so don't miss dinner like we did.There was a bit of smoke from the Bedrock fire, not enough to drive anyone away. For a few hours you could not see Mt. Bachelor. The lake is clear and warm. Good kayaking. The wind can come up, and turn, in the afternoon, so keep a weather eye. Some bugs on the lake edges, but nothing that bit me.Most people we met were locals, or regulars. Several were walking the PCT and had come to the lodge for provisions. All we mete were nice. My dog played with some of the other dogs.Some of the reserved sites were nover used. Please cancel if you are not going to make your reservation!.My T-Mobile bounced from 5-bars of LTE to 1-bar of 5G and back again. Voice and SMS good, web pages were slow.

The campground was great, HOWEVER the registration process was NOT. According to the online site, there were no single campsites available for the 2 consecutive nights we planned to be there, so we reserved 2 different sites, paid more than the first come, first served fees, and thought we would have to move after the first night. When I tried to call on the phone, I got someone in Texas who could not help (I live in WA and the campground is in Oregon). It turned out that NO ONE camped in those sites either night, so we could have had either one for our 2 consecutive nights. The wrong names were on the "reserved" posts at the site, NOT including our name and making it look like someone else would be there, not us. The first site was in the blazing sun with no shade, so we switched to a "first come, first served" site which we stayed at for both of our nights. Fortunately, the campground was not anywhere near full, so no one was inconvenienced by our change, but we could not update it online and there was no camp host present.

The hike around the lake is amazing and just about 5 miles, the restaurant and showers are a nice option at the resort when needed right next door to the camp ground.
