Greenville Recreation Area

Another reviewer said this is a hidden gem and they are right! Beautiful river front sites on extra wide paved sites with concrete pads! All sites are FULL hookup! This is really important because bathhouse is very old and in a bit of disrepair This place is an Excellent value! Remains of old city of Greenville with signs for walking tour. Great walking biking trails. Perfectly maintained sites. Also old cemetery on site (I enjoy this sort of thing) with civil war graves! Fascinating!! Love it and would definitely go back here if I had a chance. Watch out for snakes—saw 3 in 30 minutes. Swampy. No mosquitoes when we were here in April- breezy weather but imagine they are horrible I’m warmer months.

We found this campground due to it's proximity to our route. WOW! It is awesome! A COE park, but with full hookups, 50 amp, and very well kept. Large sites with lots of green grass and trees. Verizon wasn't very strong, but our ATT was. This park is on the St. Francois river on the grounds of Old Greenville. Interesting history of the town, as well. Not many attractions around, but since you are in the Ozarks and near water, well..... Also, 1/2 hour to Poplar Bluffs, MO. Feels like a lot of "local" weekenders, lots of kids, and a great playground. Nice cement pads, too. There are some trails, also. Would definitely like to return!

The history of Old Greenville was nice. We did a couple walks through that part of the park. Liked the bike path around the camp, that led up to “New” Greenville.

Campsites were very nice with a huge concrete slab, fire pit and picnic table. Nice space for family / friends to hang out.

Noted 2 bars of cell service but on a full weekend, there were too many people for consistent service. Fluctuated between 1-2.

Little bit of highway noise but too early for leaves on the trees.

All 107 sites are full hookups with electric (50, 30 & 20), water and sewer. Level sites, concrete patios and plenty of space between sites. The campground is where the town of Greenville used to be located before the residents moved it 2 miles north in 1941 (when the dam was built). There is a memory lane with markers, signs, and pictures showing where the previous buildings were located and a 2 mile paved bike trail that connects Old Greenville (the campground) to the current town of Greenville. Also, the trail signage at the picnic pavilion states that the trail over the bridge and to the lookout is a “future trail” however the trail is there (the signage board need to be updated).

This park is located in the Ozark Mountains campsites are very large with concrete patios with fire pits and lanterns pole. All pads are level. 50 and 30 amp hookups. Electric and sewer also. Sites are very easy access. Most are back in and some pull through. Very big rig friendly! We have a 41 foot RV and we had plenty of room. Pet friendly. Paved bike and walking trails. Lots of history on location. Reservations preferred but there are some first come sites also. We will be back. Camping at it best. Rangers have planed actives on weekends. If you like to fish Lake Wappapello is here. Boat ramp is just before entrance. Park is very clean and maintained
