Recreation

Lake Greeson is recongized for its rich variety of game fish, including large mouth, small mouth, stripped, spotted, and white bass, as well as flathead and channel catfish, black crappie, walleye and blue gill.

Trout Fishing is a popular attraction for this campground. Access to the clear cold waters of the Littler Missouri River generated below Narrows Dam is available at the Riverside Day Use Area just a few miles from the campground off of AR-19N.

The marina located within the campground offers boat and other water craft rentals, picnic and fishing supplies.
