The campground was nice - clean bathroom, spacious sites. We were in site 2, which was great because we were not really in view of the other campsites. Most sites were on a loop road, and may not have been as private. We could walk down from our site to the creek, which was lovely. The downside to the campground is that it is right off of highway 199 and we could hear the traffic noise. Lots of trucks going by.

We loved how small the campground was and that there was a swimming hole just down a trail. Already making plans to return!

We didnt end up staying here because we needed 2 nights and it was only available for one. However, when we arrived we looked to see if there was a site open for a second but there wasn’t so we went down the road. I think I read that others said it has weird vibes I and totally agree. Not sure what it is, it just felt off so I’m glad we didn’t stay.

Right near road so get a site near the water do the noise is far less. There is a fence so you can’t get to the water from your site but you can walk to the day use area to be closer. Pleasant and clean. There are a few other campground sites closer to redwoods, I may choose those another time.

Beautiful campground, clean and well maintained. Only negative feature was too close to a very busy highway, lots of vehicle noise.

Beautiful campground on the Smith River. The bathrooms are flush and very clean. Host was very helpful when we had a small mix up with our spot. There only 13 sites so it doesn't get loud or busy. The day use are next to the campground is a great place to get into the water.

The campground was sweet with nice private sites. The beach access for the river was a delight.
