About Lake Ellen West Campground

Lake Ellen West Campground is one of two campgrounds located on each end of the 75.5 acre lake. Access to the campground and the boat launch is a single lane gravel road. Campsites have good separation for privacy. There is a boat dock on site and fishing for rainbow trout is good. Wildlife viewing is abundant with bald eagles, osprey, loons, beaver and more. This is a popular lake for families with small children because of the large availability for fishing off the bank. Many amateur photographers also enjoy the area and its picturesque opportunities.
