Elk Mountain Campground is in a secluded area of the park, providing plenty of peace and quiet. Sites operate on a first come, first serve basis, although the campground was less than half full when we stayed in the middle of busy summer months. 

There are about 64 sites available in the campground. Sites are available both in the open prairie or in the hills along the treeline. Each site is equipped with a level tent pad, campfire ring, and picnic table. Flush toilets and running water are available most of the year.

The campground fee is $18.00/night when water and toilet facilities are in service and $9.00/night in late fall through early spring when the water is turned off. Firewood is available at the campground entrance for a donation.

There are frequently deer, buffalo, and other wildlife around the campground, so keep your eyes peeled for a sighting!
