TravelerOn top of a mountain. Gorgeous afternoon and evening views but The fog is dense in the mornings, which comes with a lot of dew, but completely worth it for the afternoon view. No shade trees at our site, but they are large and offer fire rings and picnic tables. Direct access to the happy McCoy trails. We rented just down the street the side-by-side for a couple of days and had a fantastic time.
ScoutNot too busy. Weather was outstanding. Clean. Dogs and I enjoyed.
ScoutWe were told we couldn't stay there because we weren't members
ScoutVery clean and well maintained facilities. Grounds were kept groomed and trash free. Has dump station, electric, water, shower house, and plenty of trails to explore.
TravelerYou would like the perfect location - reserve site 231 - at the end of- right by lake - cool breeze comes right into your camp
GuideGreenbo is a small state park tucked away in beautiful greenup co a very quit peaceful park. With a little known secret outside of the area world class bass fishing. Yelp that’s right you wouldn’t ever guess that by the size of the lake but it’s fact and the restaurant at the lodge. Is outstanding
ScoutThe owners were amazing and were very helpful with everything! It was a beautiful campground and very quiet while also being close to everything we needed. We will definitely be staying again.
ScoutGood overnight spot. It could be nice for a local family also. I wouldn’t make it a destination for a long vacation because of highway noise. It’s not horrible closer to the front or in the middle but along the back is where you’re right on it.
Very clean campground and staff was nice. Camp store is cute and there are multiple ponds.
TravelerLevel sites. Water electric sewer at every site. Only seven sites available for transient; the rest are very permanent. On site restaurant.
