Elkhart Lake camping overview
Elkhart Lake sits in Sheboygan County in eastern Wisconsin, roughly midway between Milwaukee and Green Bay. The village is best known as the home of Road America, the 4.048-mile, 14-turn road course set on 640 park-like acres in the glacial Kettle Moraine area. RV travelers use the area as a base for racing weekends, lake recreation, and access to state forest trails.
Camping options fall into two groups: state-run campgrounds inside the Kettle Moraine State Forest Northern Unit, which covers more than 30,000 acres of glacial landforms including kames, kettles, and eskers, and private RV parks and resorts closer to the village. Named sites nearby include Elkhart Lake's Road America, Plymouth Rock Camping Resort, Fond du Lac East/Kettle Moraine KOA, Hager's Hilly Haven Campground, and Hoeft's Resort and Campground.
Most private parks offer full hookups suited to larger rentals, while state forest campgrounds mix electric and non-electric sites with dump stations and shared shower buildings.
Things to do around Elkhart Lake
Road America anchors the calendar. The track hosts over 400 events a year, with nine major weekends open to the public covering vintage racing, MotoAmerica, SCCA, and NASCAR Xfinity rounds, and camping is a core part of the fan experience.
Outside the track, the Kettle Moraine State Forest Northern Unit offers hiking on the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, mountain biking on the Greenbush and New Fane trails, and swimming beaches at Mauthe Lake and Long Lake. Park highlights include the Henry S. Reuss Ice Age Interpretive Center and Parnell Tower, and the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive runs the length of the forest.
Elkhart Lake itself supports swimming, paddling, and fishing, with the village walkable from lakeside lodging. Kohler-Andrae State Park on Lake Michigan is a short drive east for shoreline dunes and beach days.

The practical camping season runs from spring through fall. Mauthe Lake campground in the Northern Unit is open for camping year-round, while Greenbush group sites and the state forest horse campgrounds operate only from April through November. Private RV parks typically follow a similar April-to-October window, with limited shoulder-season service.
Summer is peak. Race weekends at Road America drive the biggest demand, and nearby campgrounds fill well ahead of headline events. Weekends in July and August also see heavy lake traffic and full state forest campgrounds, so early booking is essential.
Spring brings cool nights, wet trails, and fewer crowds. Fall delivers the region's strongest color along the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive, with crisp days ideal for hiking. Winter camping is limited to Mauthe Lake, with snowmobiling and cross-country skiing as the main draws.

This was a great RV! Everything was immaculate and everyone was extremely helpful and went out of their way to help. The RV had a great layout and is a really comfortable space to enjoy! We couldnt be happier!
Jason D. - Sep 2026
Crystal and Kevin were awesome hosts! Crystal was very thorough with communication and organization and had helpful tips for us as first-time RV campers. Kevin set up and did a detailed walk through and showed us all the cool features of the RV. It was clean and smelled like a fancy hotel room, and they really thought of everything, even extra nice touches like 2 packets of Door County coffee. Would 100% recommend renting this RV from these great hosts!

How to book a campsite
State forest sites inside Kettle Moraine are booked through the Wisconsin State Park System via the Goingtocamp portal. Camping reservations are required and can be made up to 11 months in advance of the planned date of occupancy, either online or by calling 1-888-947-2757. A minimum three-night reservation is required on holiday weekends, and all motor vehicles entering state parks, forests, or recreation areas must display a vehicle admission pass.
Road America handles its own camping directly through the track. Online reservations are tied to the advance ticket window, and once gate pricing takes effect, camping is reserved at the gate on the first day of the event. Private parks such as Plymouth Rock Camping Resort and Fond du Lac East/Kettle Moraine KOA book through their own sites or franchise systems.
What to expect on the ground
State forest campgrounds are wooded and quiet, with a mix of electric and non-electric sites. Mauthe Lake features 135 sites, including 51 electrical sites, a shower building with flush toilets in the 300 loop, and vault toilets throughout the campground, plus a beach with playground equipment. A sanitary dump station and recycling/garbage station are provided for registered campers.
Private resorts near the village lean toward family amenities: pools, playgrounds, planned activities, and pull-through sites for larger RVs. Cell coverage is generally reliable close to Elkhart Lake and thinner deeper in the forest.
Race-weekend camping at Road America is social and loud, with late-night activity and early-morning engine noise. Families wanting quiet should book state forest or lakeside private sites instead.
