About Elkhorn Campground
Located on the edge of Forest Service land in the [Maury Mountains](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=38782&actid=29) and nestled under large ponderosa pine trees, this campground is relatively easy to reach yet still has a secluded feel. It is conveniently located near the [Maury Mountain agate beds](http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/ochoco/recreation/?cid=stelprd3825802) which host red, green, and gold moss agates.
