Devil's Elbow is perfectly placed on the CDA river!! We stayed in site 8 and had a path strait to the river from our site. It was shallow enough to float in place. There was a path through camp parallel to the river and we walked up and were able to get in and float down the river. It was slightly deeper in places up the river from our camp site. The views were beautiful!!! Quiet site, friendly Ca... Devil's Elbow is perfectly placed on the CDA river!! We stayed in site 8 and had a path strait to the river from our site. It was shallow enough to float in place. There was a path through camp parallel to the river and we walked up and were able to get in and float down the river. It was slightly deeper in places up the river from our camp site. The views were beautiful!!! Quiet site, friendly Campers, nice host!! Fire wood available for purchase. Bathrooms were cleaned everyday. It was great! We'll be back for sure! Close to Fern & Shadow Falls!!

Devil's Elbow campground was beautiful. We absolutely loved it. Our site was clean and maintained. The fire ring was clean and large, the picnic table was gigantic and there was a short trail down the water. The stream running through was gorgeous and serene. The whole campground was well kept and all of our neighbors were friendly. The outhouses were surprisingly enough- extremely clean and actua... Devil's Elbow campground was beautiful. We absolutely loved it. Our site was clean and maintained. The fire ring was clean and large, the picnic table was gigantic and there was a short trail down the water. The stream running through was gorgeous and serene. The whole campground was well kept and all of our neighbors were friendly. The outhouses were surprisingly enough- extremely clean and actually smelled nice. There is a water fountain to pump well-water, and it tasted awesome. Neither my husband nor I had cell service which was a bummer in case there was any emergency at home, so we had to drive at least 40mins to get service. My husband has TMobile and I have XFinity which runs off all towers. We didnt like the idea of leaving camp unattended to get cell svc, but noone messed with our site while away. The hosts stay at their sister site which is where we purchased firewood from, they were so nice and helpful. Bundles of firewood were $8 each but they were huge bundles of nice dry wood. Unfortunately, we had to leave early because there was a terrible storm that came through and apparently we weren't prepared enough. But we are looking forward to returning. Absolutely beautiful place.

July 30 to August 2...hot in the mid morning to afternoon. Muggy in the afternoon to evening. Not much breeze. But river was the escape to enjoying the hot weather. River is very low, all run off done, kind of easy to float, or just sit in chairs, there was a swimming hole, to cool off about 6-7 ft deep. Campground was very clean, camp host very nice, small campground. Beautiful drive from 1-... July 30 to August 2...hot in the mid morning to afternoon. Muggy in the afternoon to evening.

Phenomenal camp ground. We were right by the river. Could have pitched four tents. It was quiet and absolutely gorgeous. The fly's were annoying but that is nature. Toilets are clean. They sell wood right at the camp site. I absolutely loved my two days there.
