I think this may be my new favorite campground! Don't be fooled by the long dusty road into camp, this place is great with plenty of fun activities for the kids. They loved the mini golf and the kayaking on Lake Ellen. It's also close to a lot of great daytrips in the Kettle Moraine. They'll be seeing a lot of us in 2009! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a quiet family run park with plenty of shaded campsites. There are some steep hills (hence the name) which make for some fun trails to explore. The lake is great for canoeing or fishing, but is not much for swimming. All in all, a quiet relaxing stay! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for only one night as a stop over on a day trip. We found the campground to be clean and relatively quiet. However, with 125 seasonal sites this seemed to be more of a lake community than a campground. Many of the seasonal units were quite old, but very well maintained. You can tell that they are used often. The only real complaint we had is that the sites for campers were somewhat small, and the electrical hook-ups were between sites on main drive, and you needed a long extension to reach them. Also, the water hook-ups were on the wrong side which was a pain. The access road to the camper sites was tight someone in a large trailer or motor home would have difficulty on this road. The lake was nice, employees were accommodating and the play ground area was pretty nice. There is a bar and snack bar on the grounds as well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
