Closest to town, Wilder Park in Allison is a city-run campground on 88 acres with reservable RV sites and cabins, on-site camp hosts, and a large amenity list including two fishing ponds and 18-hole disc golf. R Campground and River Ranch Camping offer additional private options nearby, while Corn Patch Corner Campground / RV Park serves travelers looking for a straightforward RV stop.

Things to do near Greene
Water is the main draw. At Beeds Lake State Park, visitors fish for bass, catfish, and panfish from jetties, docks, and the causeway, launch small boats from a modern ramp under no-wake rules, and swim at the beach. A two-mile shoreline trail loops the lake and passes the historic limestone spillway, where hikers can walk to the base of the dam.
Closer to Greene, Wilder Park offers two fishing ponds, an 18-hole disc golf course, pickleball, sand volleyball, mini golf, a BMX pump track, playgrounds, and access to the paved Rolling Prairie Trail for biking and walking.
