The site number 15 is close to the back of the campsites. We could sit in our camp chairs and see the water through the trees. The site was clean when we arrived and set up. At this particular site we were able to pull the camper up and back straight into the slot. The site was level with complete hookup. Life was so much better with a happy husband and the easy setup.
The campground host were very friendly. We were able to purchase firewood for the fire pit on site. We have already made reservations for our next stay.

Great place to camp on Smith Lake. Good swimming area. Hostess on firefly loop was very helpful. Sites are excellent with full hook-ups. You won’t find better spots. Only negative was the bathhouse situation. Only one open was on the other loop. But, that was out of the staff’s control.
