The place
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.
