Camping at Elkhorn Campground near Loa

Recreation radiates outward from the campground: miles of trails, including the Great Western Trail, crisscross Thousand Lake Mountain and create routes for hikers, mountain bikers and off-highway vehicles, while numerous alpine lakes in the area draw anglers and people looking for high-country scenery. More broadly, Fishlake National Forest supports activities such as boating, horseback riding and horse camping, fire lookouts/cabins overnight, interpretive programs, hunting, visitor center services and abundant wildlife viewing; some of those opportunities are accessed from trailheads or lakes a short drive from Elkhorn rather than inside the campground itself.
