Cozy and safe

Edit: I ended up sticking around to take in the place bc I had paid so much. If staying to use the amenities it is pretty worth it, still a tad pricey though 😉 but the hosts are friendly and it sounds like you can use a $8 day pass if desired.

Was a bit pricey for me as I was just car camping, was $38.50 just to sleep but I imagine if you’re going to utilize the area for fishing or hanging out it would be worth it. Permanent dwellings on the property so feels safe. Lovely to wake up near the water and there were lots of deer roaming around.

Great family fun

I've been going to Greenhorn for four years now every summer. It's always a great time. There are multiple campsites by the water, no need to drive or take a long walk. There is a store on site that seeks everything you may need.

We usually go with friends and their trailers, note this is dry camping so you should bring generators if you have a trailer.
