Organizers are shuttling visitors from the Greenville city park when lots at the recreation site are full.

Memory Lane is also temporarily open this weekend, allowing visitors their first glimpse of the renovated campgrounds.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will take campsite reservations May 13, ahead of the May 20 reopening after two years of renovations and repairs. A grand reopening ceremony is planned for May 21.
