Ellis Lakeside Campground

Please disregard my other review as it was for the wrong campground. This place was great, very quaint, quiet. It is run by the city, so it is self pay and no attendees. However, the police did patrol the campground. Would definitely stay there again.

Ellis Lakeside Campground was a hidden find on a dark and stormy night. With repeated tornado warnings and a very dark sky, we sheltered under a bridge for a while, then left the Interstate at the Ellis exit, hoping to find safe shelter in case the storm worsened. All of the RV parking slots at the truck stop on both sides of the access road were taken. We continued driving into the town of Ellis, and were amazed to find a sign pointing to this city-run campground with a notice that a tornado shelter was available. We left cash for the overnight in an envelope box, but because we left early, we saw no one to thank for the safe and restful overnight. It wasn't until morning that we realized it was situated on a small lake. Thank you, City of Ellis.

Were planning a trip next summer with another couple and coming from Zeigler, Illinois and heading to The Stanley Hotel in Co, and a few other sites along the way. I found all these reviews very helpful as well will be camping along the way instead of doing the hotel thing. I do think that we will give your Camp Ground a try, we look forward to seeing you in 2020.

Great little stop along the way! $20 includes water and electric. Quaint old town we walked through. At 4 pm it was 1/2 full but by 9 there were only 2 spots open. We didn't use the showers or bathroom so couldn't say. Friendly town.

Love this place. Right on the water, quite, clean, great for a quite rest for one night stop

This place is gross. Bathrooms are so gross I don’t want to use them. There are abandoned buildings everywhere. A busy road nearby that we can hear. There are dirty diapers in the fire pits. I will never come back here.

We have stayed here several times. Each time was great. We loved the campground, the lake, the geese. It was all good. Can't wait to get there again!!!!!We always detour on our trips west to stay here.

Stayed here over the weekend. On our way across the country. It is first come first serve. so it's a bit risky if you are desperate for a camp site. Thankfully this worked out for us.

Peaceful, very affordable, clean, town-owned campground.

The campground was nice, but I would not stay there again. When we arrived (about 6pm), there was no one in the office, then they were out of propane. We needed propane to heat our travel trailer. Also, there was no place in the shower to put soap or shampoo.
