Calamity Campground

I highly recommend spot A-15. It’s oversized with more than enough space for our 25’ motorhome and any extra vehicles. It was nice that we could park such that we had privacy on the patio. It was very quiet at night. The lake isn’t very accessible, except for at the dock. You have to jump down from a 2’ wired rock wall to get to the water. The ‘beach’ is very rocky, but it didn’t stop our pup from going for a swim. With regards to hiking from the campground, there is none. You have to drive to nearby trails.

Campground host told us the spot to take. We are in Loop A. Loop B had more CF sites but large spaces are limited. We figured if we didn’t get in here we would go to the free camping below the dam.
Lots of great hikes, Big Elk Creek and Palisades to the lower lake. Both along beautiful streams with lots of wild flowers. Palisades busier than Elk but not that bad. We saw no one hiking Big Elk Creek

Loops A&B are both RV and tent. Loop C is tent only.
Friendly camp hosts, water spigots at each bathroom, mostly level sites excellent for RV in Loops A&B.
Mosquitoes are quite thick
Last four miles to the campground are on paved road but very twisty.
Each site has picnic table and fire ring
If boater, just a short distance to the launch area.
Plenty of space along the lake shore for swimming and shallow area for kids
28' Class C motorhome
Some of the sites are reservable, but no hookups at this CG
