Smith Ridge Campground offers a clean and peaceful environment, with friendly volunteer staff and well-maintained facilities. Campers appreciate the spacious sites and the beautiful natural setting, ideal for family gatherings and relaxation. However, some guests noted issues with cellular service, bathroom supplies, and the campground's limited open season, particularly wishing it would remain open into October.

The bad news first.
The water there tastes awful.We had to go to Walmart right after we got t here to buy water. It even stinks showering. We could not get into the site I reserved #21. They have paved the roads so much, if you have a longer camper(ours was 21 feet), your truck wheels go off the road trying to back in, down into a deep ditch. A pop up will work fine. We had to get another site & it was very nice. The roads are so curved, a large RV will have a lot of trouble parking at most sites.
The good news.
We went before school was out. We shared our area with only a few older adults camping. There were no dogs yapping. Very quiet. We had a beautiful view from our site of the woods. Walmart & Campbellsville was very close, so it's easy to pick up supplies or go out to eat. The hosts & check in attendants ( 2 different couples) were friendly & helpful our entire trip.
After we got settled & had good tasting water, we had a wonderful time. You can fish several places from the shore or dock or just bring a chair & watch the activity at the lake. I'm very glad we went. I'm sure summer is very different as there is a beach where lots of families go. Boating is a big activity, also.

We really enjoyed our stay. The campground was very nice and had some great sites on it! I couldn’t give all five stars because you can tell there needs to be some upgrades for it to be a huge success. I can deal with no signal to a degree, always afraid of an emergency, but some of the “best” sites need upgrades: water and electric hookup. We walked the campground scoping out, and noticed no hookups at all on most.

Loved the camp ground, only thing that was hard was the dump station cause you have to go all the way around and come back onto it to dump, it's pretty hard when you have a long camper, then have to go back out and make that sharp turn around the trees , but other than that we loved it and we will be back, I've recommended the camp ground to several people, and the workers were especially nice and helpful.

We loved our stay at Smith Ridge. The Camp Attendants were outstanding. They were very knowledgeable and helped in whatever way they could. The park was beautiful and extremely clean and well cared for in every way. We will definitely be going back.

Best campground me and my family have ever been too. Excellent camp spots, clean restrooms and showers. Hosts and attendants were awesome. Please select this same group of workers next year. Please offer year round camping.. Attendants cleaned a walking trail from the campground to the water also. 5stars..

Whether you decide to stay at the top loop which is completely wooded which provides plenty of shade, or the lower loop which is open, you’re going to love this campground. No matter what site you choose, there is plenty of space, an abundance of wildlife to watch, and a peaceful atmosphere.
The campground host and attendants are always helpful and friendly.
There is no direct lake access at the campground itself, but there smiths ridge boat ramp and beach or Emerald Isle marina and boat ramp are both seconds away.
