What Guests Are Saying

Greenough Lake campground is well-loved for its beautiful setting, clean facilities, and friendly camp hosts, making it an excellent spot for camping. Many sites offer privacy and amenities like bathrooms, though some specific sites, like #15 and #8, have received criticism for their layout and size. Overall, the campground is highly recommended for its serene atmosphere and proximity to a lovely alpine lake.

Greenough is a lovely place that is being loved to death. Unfortunately there are many who have no respect for nature. Live trees are chopped down or carved by knife and hatchet wielding morons. Trash is left behind, ashes from campfires dumped most anywhere. It's been going on for years but in the last few years it seems to be getting worse. Let's park the 40' fifth wheel, roll out the atv and conquer the wilderness. I have sympathy for the campground hosts. I don't think I could be patient with many of the campers.

Beautiful area with a short walk right up to the lake. This particular site did not have a particularly large area to place a tent and did not come with a bear box for some reason.

We were always told we can't get a longer motorhome into Greenough. Not sure if the new bridges helped but we got an ideal spot and enjoyed watching Rock Creek. It did rain and snowed up just a little higher, but was still beautiful. Campsites were well maintained, other than maybe the campfires could be cleaned out occasionally, (We had 5 spots with family) Everyone enjoyed themselves.
