About: Seedhouse Campground has 24 campsites on the Elk River. There is a good combination of pull-through, and back-in sites. Vault toilets, trash services and potable water are available at the campground. This campground recently underwent a timber sale to remove hazard trees due to the mountain pine beetle outbreak, but still is surrounded by large spruce, fir and upcoming pine trees. Camping limit is 14 days. Trout fishing is accessible on the river as well as several mountain streams. Seedhouse is located near Mount Zirkel Wilderness and provides a great gateway to hiking and biking.
