Old Greenville is one of our favorite places to camp. The sites are paved and include a nice fire-pit, sewer, water, electric hookup. Love the bike paths, strolling along the old sidewalks checking out the foundations of what buildings once stood there. It also has an old Union Cemetary - lots of history to learn about. The US Army Corps of Engineers does an amazing job keeping it up and a bonus if you are over 62 you can camp for half price with America the Beautiful Senior Pass aka National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass.

My wife and I have been coming here for many years. Like many campers here, we have a dog and ebikes.
Great place to ride bikes, there are lots of deer sightings, and we always meet the friendliest campers here.

Always love visiting Greenville Recreation Area. It’s perfect for young kids to bike ride due to the majority of the area being level. Outside the campground area, are blacktopped trails that will have some inclines. We did some fishing, grilling, hiking, playground and biking. Fun few days!

Spot 68 is apparently part of a thorough fare to the playground so had people walking through my campsite all day!

The campground was very clean. Lots of shade to be able to just sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet. Several areas to access the water from the campground.

Existing day use shelter reservations may be cancelled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if the facility is closed due to flooding, elevated security threats, maintenance problems, etc. Reservations may also be cancelled when the reservation conflicts with large public special events that would negatively impact a private event at the shelter. For these reasons, customers should consider an alternate date or location in the event a closure is necessary. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. |
