About

Self Creek Campground is located on Lake Greeson, a 7,260-acre reservoir on the Little Missouri River managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The campground features electric sites with 20 and 30 amp service, as well as non-electric sites. Each site includes a picnic table, ground grill, pedestal grill, and lantern post. Amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, drinking water, a swim beach, playground, and dump station. One site offers full hookups with sewer and water. Lake Greeson is recognized for its diverse game fish population, including largemouth, smallmouth, striped, spotted, and white bass, as well as flathead and channel catfish, black and white crappie, walleye, and bluegill. The clear waters are ideal for water skiing, tubing, personal watercraft, and cruising. The campground provides access to the Self Creek Boat Ramp, and four marinas on the lake offer fuel, boat rentals, and fishing supplies. The surrounding landscape features loblolly and shortleaf pine, sweet gum, and oak, providing habitat for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, geese, bald eagles, and migratory waterfowl. The nearby Bear Creek Cycle Trail attracts off-road cycling enthusiasts, and Crater of Diamonds State Park is within 40 miles.
