Some mention
"Users describe Elk Lake Group Camp as a rustic, quiet group site with friendly park service and excellent proximity to Itasca’s main attractions (Mississippi headwaters, Wilderness Drive, lake access). It is best suited for groups wanting a shared clearing and basic, off-grid facilities."

Best Time to Camp at Elk Lake Group Campground
Summer brings warm days perfect for swimming and paddling, though you'll want bug spray for the mosquitoes that consider you as much a part of the ecosystem as they are. Cool evenings around the campfire are ideal for stargazing and storytelling. Fall transforms the forest into a spectacular canvas of crimson, gold, and orange—arguably the most magical time to visit. The camp welcomes groups seasonally from roughly May through mid-November, closing before the deep Minnesota winter settles in.
Peak season for hiking, lakes and park attractions; good summer recreation access.
Northwoods fall foliage and quieter trails boost scenic/hiking appeal in autumn.
Spring offers wildlife and fewer crowds but can be muddy and variable in conditions.
Winter use and facilities unclear; likely limited services though winter recreation may exist nearby.
Planning Tips
- Operating Season: Seasonal — typically open in the warmer months (approximately May through mid‑November)
