Yes, the elves are very nice! They are a bit silly though, and not nearly as serious as the elves are in 'The Lord of the Rings.'

The elves were not nice. They were isolationists who mistrusted everyone else. Mirkwood was full of enemies. Look how they treated the dwarves, not nice at all, me precious.

Elves in The Hobbit come across is silly around Elrond's home. And the ones in Mirkwood were rather mean and captured the dwarves and held them prisoner. But in the end, the elves are fierce warriors and are instrumental in helping destroy the goblins and wargs.

Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?

If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
