campgrounds at Lake Greeson with a total of 408 campsites. Many of these campgrounds feature amenities such as restrooms, showers,
boat ramps, sanitary disposal stations, playgrounds, electric and water hook-ups, and swimming areas. Four of the campgrounds
feature contract park attendants who register incoming campers, provide information, and ensure the campground is operated to
provide the safest, most enjoyable experience for all visitors.
