Sites were clean, bathrooms in great shape. The noise of generators for big rigs is noticeable but everyone respectfully turned them off a night. Some sites are very private…others not so. CG host Georgie and her husband were awesome and very helpful.

The lake was lovely, I took a dip. The camp had space and underbrush between sites for privacy.

Greenough is a beautiful campground and host was nice, but campsite no. 8 is way too short, even for. 24 ft. trailer. Took us at least 20 minutes to back into our site. We had to park our truck on the road and then had to move it so the people in the campsite across from us could get out of their campsite.
