Elkhorn Campground sits on a high-plateau pine landscape with open meadows, jagged ridgelines and broad views of the Ochoco Mountains — great for sunrise/sunset panoramas, wildflower and autumn-color shots, and clear-night astrophotography. Access is by car on Drake Creek Rd; basic campground parking and vault toilets available. Best visited at golden hour (sunrise for east-facing ridges, sunset for warm backlight), summer for flowers and clear skies, fall for color, and winter for snow scenes.
