The sites are great! The bathrooms and showers are what you'd expect at a decent campground. My only complaint has nothing to do with the campground but with cellular coverage. Once you turn in to the campground, there is ZERO service. So, if it's raining the whole weekend like it did for us, you'd better bring a good book or something else to occupy your time because there is no streaming to your mobile devices.

I’ve driven through Smith Ridge campground several times, this was the first time camping there. We really liked it, we just wished it stayed open later in the year, fall is the best time to camp. And we wish the internet service was available. Other that those two things we really enjoyed it. The sites were good and level too.

We had a very good time park attendant's were very friendly and helpful. We had a fish fry with family and friends and attendant's more than enough food it was like a family reunion at least fifty or more people. Would like to be able to do this again this year but ever one complains they close to early. Fall is the best time to go camping.
