Legion Memorial Park in Litchfield provides the setting for Lake Ripley County Park Campground, a municipal facility operating from mid-April through mid-October. The City of Litchfield manages this lakefront campground where most sites face the water directly. Campers park their vehicles behind a row of bushes to maintain clear lake views across the camping area.
Sites include picnic tables and fire pits, with full hookups available for RVs requiring electric, water, and sewer connections. The facility provides restrooms, showers, and a dump station, plus a fish cleaning shed for anglers working the lake. Tori K. notes "most of the sites here are lakefront" with the vehicle screening helping preserve sightlines for all campers.
The campground sits close to downtown Litchfield, making supply runs convenient when needed. Open areas in front of campsites give children space to play, while a playground adds to the family-friendly setup. The location draws steady foot traffic from locals and visitors enjoying lake access. Kayakers use the water regularly, though conditions can challenge paddlers.
Reservations help secure spots during busy periods, as the campground can fill to capacity. Nightly rates range from $20-25, and leashed pets are welcome throughout the facility. Firewood is available on-site for evening campfires facing the water.
