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.

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.

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!!

Primitive site with no electricity or water. Site was big enough for 5 tents with room to spare. Site had plenty of parking too. Wood dispenser at entrance was helpful.

If you stay here you need to make sure your food and drinks are packed each night and there is a decent sized population of raccoons. We stayed 2 nights and you could hear them in our site within minutes of everyone heading into their tents. Mosquitos were also some of the worst I have ever experienced in an entire lifetime of camping. Our group of 15 went through 5 bottles of bug spray in less than 48 hours. Restrooms are basic and seem to be relatively clean. There are no lights in the bathrooms so pack flashlights and toilet paper if you want anything softer than sandpaper.

Great secluded group campsites. Water via pump. Pit toilets. No electric outlets. Firewood is available via vending machine, but I recommend finding MUCH cheaper wood in the nearby town of Greenbush.

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.
