Review Summary

Site 008 Was a great site! very level with a large patio area and a great fire pit. All hook ups worked properly. 50-30-20 amp electrical, sewer and water. The whole campground is very flat and the sites are very level. I was within 2" of being level side to side before unhooking. Everyone rides bikes so don't forget yours, but if you do there is a local bike shop that offers rentals right in the park. The trail from the camp ground to the town of Greenville was fantastic and well worth the ride. This trail can be completed by little children as many breaks are taken.
The only down side to the whole trip was that during a game of basketball with my 9 year old daughter a group of teenage boys playing ball on the other goal were using some very strong language and many racial slurs. I could have notified the camp host, but chose just to remove ourselves. This is not the fault of the campground or the host.
In summary we will plan on making it back to this park anytime we can secure a site. We felt that no sites in the park would be out of the question of reserving. They are all good.

The campsites are large and have full
hookups. The bikes and walking trails are great. You don't have to go very far to launch your boat. The ground are well kept. Love going there.

We absolutely loved our first trip to this campground! Everything is paved so you’ll definitely want to bring bikes! From what we could tell there aren’t any “bad” spots, all sites are roomy and and very nice! It’s a great place to take your family, just a wonderful campground with friendly people. We can’t wait to go back again!

If you are looking for privacy in a campsite, look elsewhere. Sites are not wooded or secluded. Otherwise, every campsite has electric, water, and sewer which is awesome.

This was our first of hopefully many camping trips to Old Greenville. The campground was wonderful. The bicycle trails are both beautiful and challenging at times. The entire family loved the entire experience. 5 stars. We will definitely be back.
