We stayed at the Elk Mountain CG in 2010, it was convenient and didn't require reservations like the nearby State Park. Out side of the above reasons it is no loss. Like the Badlands NP CG the sites are just pullouts barely off the loop road and are some of the worst the park service has to offer. That said it still takes money to maintain the facilities. Shame on the politicians.
