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.

We stayed at spot 27 which has electric and water hook up. Was nice and woody! Heavy rains had a lot of the trails closed or under water so couldn't go to many walking/hiking trails. Ticks were everywhere!
Campground attendant was nice and pleasure to speak with. Wishing him a speedy recovery to his broken left hand!!! And water lines repaired in a timely manner...
Very nice and quiet area away from the busy city sounds and lights!

We had a good time. The site was as expected and the bathroom was clean. I would say in comparison with other sites, this one is not particularly kid friendly. There’s only one play area and no beach access.

Curtis the volunteer host was fantastic! Super friendly and willing to help and/or answer questions. The bathrooms were updated and very clean. The showers were separate. Not as clean but the water was nice and hot. This was just for 3 days to relax so we didn’t do any activities except to walk the campground. We were in loop B. Beautiful grounds. Love the grassy areas. If you wanted to be more secluded you would want to pick the other loop that is more in the woods.

The camp hosts are active and visible. The Ranger quickly responded to having two metal spikes near picnic table removed. Clean bathrooms.
