If you have not already done so, you will need to obtain a FHL hunting permit. I would suggest you get an annual (July-June) now for $125. In that case, you might be able to get a few additional hunts in during the year.
You will be required to attend a briefing the evening before the elk hunt. The FHL Environmental staff will help you select an area for your hunt.
They normally open areas for the special hunts (elk & junior) that are not routinely open for hunting. The base has 400-500 elk and they are well distributed throughout the hunting areas. I see elk nearly every time I hunt there, which is quite often. In fact, I saw a few yesterday when I was there taking my opening day buck. You should have no problem getting an elk, unless you drew an archery tag, in which case you will have to work for it.
If you tag out early, you might have a couple of days left to pig or quail hunt too. So, you might want to have a pig tag on hand.
As far as camping goes, it is on a first come-first served basis. $10/night dry camping. Be prepared for temperatures in the 20's-30's at night and 70's during the day.
With the special hunts going on, the check station/skinning station adjacent to the campground should be open for your use. The coolers may also be available for you to hang your game (good thing to ask ahead of time).
