Camping at Elkmont - Tuesday, August 11, 2026- August 13, 2026
In conjunction with the playout at Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area, we will have a group of KADC members also camping at Elkmont Campground from Tuesday, August 11 thru Thursday, August 13. This is a camping event organized by KADC; however, you will be responsible for making your own campsite reservations. Most KADC members will be staying in Loop G at the campground. This signup listing will help us keep track of everyone expected. Please include your campsite number once you have made your reservation.
We will plan evening campfire activities closer to the event. Usually this involves a shared dessert and jamming. On August 12, we will participate in the Metcalf Bottoms Popup and picnic.
Be advised the campground does not have electricity or showers. A bathroom and potable water is available. Each camping site is allowed two vehicles and up to six individuals. You may want to contact your club friends and double up on the sites. Here is the link to make a reservation:
