We always have a great stay at Old Greenville. The grounds and facilities are always clean and well maintained. We live in the area, so Old Greenville is perfect for us for a two or three night stay.

This is a very nice spot. Easy access, good walking trail, It was extremely hot when we were there in August, but that’s just Southeast Missouri weather. We will visit again.

It was our first visit, but it won’t be out last!
Beautiful park—quiet—family friendly—extra large concrete patios. A great camping experience.

We really like this campground (lots of information and trails of the old town). Only down fall, boy was it buggy!

Beware; stay away from site #4 in Aug/Sep. It is a Walnut mine field…
First of all; another great COE site! Spacious and the grass was mowed whilst we were there. A crew was busy to do maintenance to the bathhouse exterior. Ample walking and biking opportunities. There were so many people riding their bicycles and e-bikes…
Back to the walnut minefield;
The squirrels start breakfast af 6:30 dropping the walnuts on your camper. The worst of it all (if you care about your camper) is the dark brown stains as a result of the shells and squirrel poop . My camper’s roof was maintained clean till this week ( 13 Aug to 20 Aug)…. I swept the roof several times this week to remove the shells but it already left stains. I bought all sorts of soap that I could find locally and attempted to wash the roof the day before I left. The park attendant drove up and rudely stopped me. I attempted to explain that the only chance to get the gunk and stains off the slide roofs, so that the seals are not damaged when retracting the slides, is to wash it immediately. Instead of listening to my explanation he rather continued to wave his arms and threatened me with the park ranger. I get it, rules are rules… however, I was not presented with a copy of the rules and what I got online was silent about washing campers. I think a reasonable approach would have been to understand that I am just trying to safe my slide seals and for him to advise that I must use a bucket (which I was doing but used my hose to rinse the soap off). I know he was doing his job but I think that there may be room for understanding the situation at hand.
Was a great week regardless of the walnut mess…. will be back!

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. |
