Unfortunately my review is based on others in the campground. Our site had a lot of little trash in it. Hard to pick up things that other people left before us. And both nights there another group next to us that had their radio on, laughing, and screaming(little kids and teenagers) until 1:30 am both nights! There was no ranger on site to help with these problems. Other than that, the put toilets I can handle, but they ran out of toilet paper by Sat afternoon.
Great quiet place for camping. Lots of nature to be had. Lots of wildlife coming right up to your campsite. Can't get closer to Nature than this place. Campsites in very big. Because they are group sites which is very nice gives you a sense of privacy. It's looking for a private group site this is the place to go.
I am gonna put this on the pandemic a bit. We don’t usually book group sites but we went camping with two other couples. It was a big enough site to keep our distance. This was good. What was not good is there were people around us in all directions playing very loud music until 1 am every night. I swear at one point I heard what sounded like an effing karaoke machine being blasted in the wooded area between our site and the next for several hours and then switched to more loud music. People walked into our campsite late, not sure if they were drunk or what. We had to politely tell them this was a site and to please leave our camp. There were at least three dogs off leash that weekend. I almost ran one over heading to the beach, and one came into our campsite one evening and proceeded to run all over the camp. Also, dogs just barking so much it just sound like they were losing their GD minds or someone was provoking the dogs. I am not a Karen about stuff like this. I didn’t say anything but I did see the warden give some folks some tickets one of the nights. I suspect it was the combination of
two sites with incredibly large party sizes. There are a lot of raccoons on this campsite and I did notice some random food scraps and left behinds from previous campers. So enjoy that. I have camped a lot and this was a lot of
raccoons I suspect it’s just what comes with the territory. We will not be back here. It seems just like the cheapest way to throw a party with no regard for anyone else. If you do go here come on the weekday and enjoy the peace and quiet. You won’t get it on the weekends. No one enforces quiet hour.
I really enjoy my camp outs at Greenbush. Site 9 is on the purple trail which gives you access to the entire Kettle Moraine. I think the picnic area is also on the trail, or site 3 it's as well. I normally camp in September and October and take advantage of the Civil War reenactment and Halloween fun.
Park Rangers are excellent and not stuck up and pretentious like Devil's lake. The park is very large and navigation can be challenging. Don't be hesitant to chat up a ranger anywhere in this park. Professional and very knowledgeable.
This park has year round activity. Horses, snow mobiles, hiking, mountain biking, CC skiing and more. Greenbush puts you right in it all. I will also recommend the short drive to Elkhart Lake for the little bakery coffee shop downtown. Fun!!
There are 9 campsites, all for large groups (at least 3 tables & 1 fireplace for each site).
The forest is beautiful and wild, it has plenty different trails. I liked Ice Age trail. I was in early October and didn’t see many animals, just chipmunks and some birds.
