Elkhorn Campgrounds

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Situated on the Walworth County Fairgrounds, Elkhorn Campgrounds gives visitors a base for day trips to Lake Geneva, roughly 8 miles away, and live music at Alpine Valley, about 20 minutes out. A shuttle service runs from the outer sites near the racetrack, bookable through Lakeshore Shuttle. The fairgrounds setting means events like the annual Ribfest happen within a two-minute walk of most sites, so campers should expect some evening noise during festival weekends.

Sites are divided between shaded outer lanes and an open central area. Full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, are available throughout, and the office staff can help with site selection before arrival. Restrooms and showers are on-site. Dan W. notes the "site, restrooms, and showers were clean," which several other reviewers echo. Bikes are not permitted on the grounds.

The campground is within walking distance of downtown Elkhorn, the equestrian arena, and the Walworth County fairground facilities, which host rotating events depending on the season. RVs have ample room to maneuver. The layout works well for larger rigs, though tent campers will find fewer natural features here. For campers who want a different style of stay in the area, The Belfry House is a nearby alternative a few miles south, and places to camp near Elkhorn include additional options across Walworth County.

Trip #2- Post Malone

Campsite 65- Rita, the mgr/owner, returned call to assist in selecting a site. The outer lanes had shade, while our site was in the middle open area. Easy access to electric and/or water. If unsure, contact office. Site, restrooms, and showers were clean. There are a lot of sites but still felt like there was ample space. Great location to visit Lake Geneva (~8mi.) or see a concert at Alpine Valley (~20 min). There’s a shuttle from the campground (outer sites near racetrack.). You pay for the shuttle through Lakeshore shuttle. This weekend had their annual Ribfest. Great food and music that you can walk to from your site (~2 min walk). Due to the fest, there was some late noise, but nothing obnoxious. Definitely recommend as a home base for area fun, music, shopping, and restaurants.

Affordable and friendly!

Such a great little place to escape to or visit if you're just passing through. Nothing crazy fancy but hook-ups and fire pits available if needed. Within walking distance to downtown Elkhorn, EAHS, and the horse areana. You might even be able to catch a show or two on site at the fair grounds, depending on the time of year.
