I have been camping at Smiths Ridge since they opened the park. We come down every year to camp. The host were very friendly, bathrooms were clean. I hope to see you next year.

A great place to stay, the host was great. The only con would is that Verizon didn't work unless we went to the top of the hill. But I found it nice that sit around and talked instead of being on their phones the whole time. (T-Mobile) worked very well there.

The bathrooms weren't stocked. The entire time we were here the bathroom did not have hand soap, on the last day there was no TP and two of the toilets were clogged. There was a nest of spiders in one of the showers, 3 of which attempted to come down while I was showering which didn't end well for them. The site itself is on top of a hill with a steep incline and was a little scary especially with a child. The beach is not technically a part of the campground but ran by emerald isle which I found to be trashed, cigarette butts littered the sand, people were smoking out in the water and never swam back to put them out so I'm sure they are floating in the water somewhere. I'm not one to complain but this was probably the worst campground I've been to.
