We had a very pleasant experience during our 4th stay at Smith Ridge campground. One thing of note: in "A" section, the timbers used to contain soil at the campsites are well past their good life and should be replaced. improved leveling of the sites could be done at the same time. We were in site 22 and there was poison ivy about the water spigot.
