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.

Some reserved sites went unoccupied
This is unfortunate as it creates a system where last minute camping decisions can’t happen even when campsites ultimately stay empty

We love camping next to Rock Creek among the pines. Plenty of walking opportunities among wild flowers.

The setting is spectacular! The sound of the creek was perfect to lull us to sleep.
