Collier Landing

Anglers and boaters will find direct access to Lake Ellsworth at this municipal campground in Apache. Sites include covered picnic tables on concrete pads with charcoal grills and electric hookups, though campers report water spigots sit 20-30 feet from RV pads. The campground requires lake permits in addition to standard fishing licenses, available at Ralph's Resort across the lake.

Port-a-potties serve the area, and no dump station operates anywhere around the lake according to recent visitors. Open tent camping areas provide flexibility for those without RVs. Campers can explore campgrounds near Elgin for additional options in the region. Traffic runs heavy through the area, and some visitors note security concerns in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Do not expect too much.

This campground is located by a couple of questionable housing additions. Campers have stated items have disappeared from their sites. The traffic is very heavy in and out of the area. It’s a nice part of Lake Ellsworth, however, it is definitely not a campground that is on my top ten list. There are port a potties, electric hookups and some water hookups. Plenty of space to throw a tent down and just camp openly. There are also groundhogs nearby that the kids enjoy watching.

Far end sites

Bring the long water hose! We are staying at the far end. The sites are nice. Covered picnic table on concrete w charcoal grill and stove tables. Even has a light over the table. Electric is on the pad, but the water spigot is 20-30’ away. Besides having your boat tagged and state fishing licenses, you have to have lake permits. Stop by Ralph’s Resort on the other side of the lake to purchase. Also, no dump station anywhere around the lake.
