Ellis Lakeside Campground

Incredible little gem of a campground, hidden in Ellis, Kansas! We were pulling my Oliver Travel Trailer back from a vacation in Utah, heading home to Missouri. After 14 hours of driving, we were ready for a quiet, restful, easy in, easy out campground. Our experience with Ellis Lakeside Camground from beginning to end was off the charts good! We came in at about 11:00pm on a Saturday, and called the phone number on their listing, which is Ellis City Hall. The recorded message said to call the Ellis Police Dept. for after hours information. The dispatcher was extremely respectful and accommodating, as well as the officer that she connected me with. Payment is the “honor system”, you put your money in an envelope, which includes your truck license, trailer description, etc. and depos

We didn't stay long this time, but we will definitely return for a longer stay. Very nice place off the beaten path on the pavement. 🤣 pretty level concrete pads far enough feom the water for little ones or new puppies. 😆 Highly recommended.

This is quite a clean self-pay RV park with all the needed amenities. Power and water hookups are available at each camping spot. The bathrooms are decent and the nearby park is great. There are tons of trees and the small lake is full of fish and makes for some fun times hooking up panfish and catfish. Highly recommend if you're passing through!

Adorable. I absolutely love the should-be-condemned playground equipment from decades long ago (no, I'm actually serious, I love it, we had way too much fun!) Cute train park, does it work? I don't know, I'm here off season. No water, no restrooms (again, off season) Very clean campground and "playground" area. Lake smells like geese but what do you expect from a rural waterfront like this? Creepy warehouses behind the campground are, well, creepy. But doesn't seem to be anything sketchy happening. All in all a super fun place to set up camp for a night.

We used to stay here every time we made the trek out west and back but this will be our last time. Seems like there’s some people living here full time and some common courtesy standards are not being followed. Our neighbors literally had their stinky slinkies laying in the grass not connected to anything 🤢
