For Elliott Lake Rec Area: Very good staff. Stayed at smaller campground with nice paved pads. 2nd time had one at end overlooking the wonderful lane (great bass fishing). No amenities on the actual military installation (it’s a mostly civilian depot so to be expected). Highly recommend.

For Elliott Lake Rec Area: We agree with the comments about friendly staff and wonderful sites. But never had such a difficult time getting to a camp ground on a military base. Following I-30 to exit 207 and entering the main gate on E Entrance Ave is all the directions you need. Anything else, will probably get you on a back road and a closed gate. That said, the main gate closes on Saturdays from 7:30 am to 4 pm just to add to your frustration when you are trying to leave or enter. During that time, the commercial truck gate will be open. We did not have to go to the Visitors Center like others have said when first coming into the gate. We did have to pull to the side while a security guard walked through our motorhome. Gaining entrance to the post may have been challenging, but we enjoyed the staff and our stay. Even when we couldn’t leave out the main gate on Saturday, a security guard was kind enough to lead us several miles to the commercial truck gate.

For Elliott Lake Rec Area: This was a delightful stop on our way from Phoenix to Atlanta campground is shady and spotlessly clean. You can see the lake from the campground very friendly staff. Nice laundry definitely will stay here again.

For Elliott Lake Rec Area: Campground is located on a lovely lake. The office staff is awesome, friendly, helpful! Things you need to know: 1. No WiFi at the park or anywhere on base that we could find 2. Water pressure at the campground is poor 3. Not all sites are level. Be careful selecting your site. 4. No cable tv. Impossible to use Dish Satellite because of trees. You can get some channels with antenna. 5. ALL visitors must register at the Visitor Center regardless of having a DOD card. Registration includes background investigation and takes about 15 minutes. We had not encountered this before at other military campgrounds. The reason given was the nature of the work they do requires them to know who is on the base, if the have warrants, have past criminal history. All that said if you are looking for a quiet campground away from tv, cell phones and other electronics this is your place.

For Elliott Lake Rec Area: What a wonderful and pleasant place! A great find!! So peaceful and quiet. We stayed in the smaller camp area. Nice wide flat paved pads. Round picnic tables. Full hookups. $20. It is deep into the post. So get ready for a drive once you get there. Signs make it easy to find. Google map took us to a gate on the south side which was closed! Do not go that way! Go to the main gate on East Entrance Avenue off of Highway 82. Exit #207 off of I-30.

For Elliott Lake Rec Area: After visitors hours arrival and turned away at the gate. Said I needed a reservation to be allowed to pass. First come first serve doesn't quite cut it with the main gate operators who don't recognize a valid DOD ID Card as proof enough to issue a pass. Kind of wondered what what have happened if I boondocked the visitor center and then ask for a pass without the MWR reservation. But I didn't. Anyway, my bad for not calling ahead but a lesson learned that this Base is not quite like any other.

For Elliott Lake Rec Area: We enjoyed our two night stay. Definitely come in from exit 207 and do stop at the visitor control center! As noted, the RV park is deep in the base but directions are good and there are signs. We stayed in the older section and the sewer and/or water/power are often on the wrong side...it's an older park and was built before RVs got so big! Staff are great. The sites are back to back and paved so if both are unoccupied you can pull through. The newer section is all back-in, but flatter and services are where RV folks expect them! The Lake and Beach are beautiful. We were in our 40' 5th wheel.
