Absolutely love this camp ground. Very clean and they have day use areas to picnic.

Favorite area of the lake. Wishing for a Marina to be there. It would make boat launch easier for getting kids and older adults in and out of boats. :)
Sarah Mistrille
The gate attendant was very rude, and the park stays flooded. I would go to any other part of Greers ferry lake over this.

I remembered so many summer growing up at camps in Illinois. This place so gives me flashback fever. I can really be myself and not fear personal expression. I can do this by camping 🔥 stories, water 💦 activities, and 🎯. I love all the games we can play with players of all ages!
