So many good things to say and unfortunately some not so good. It’s a small campground and was very quiet which was awesome. If you want to stay in the trees stay in the A loop. Lots of trees which is perfect for keeping it cool. The trees were not trimmed back so be careful if your trailer is high. The sites were small but neat and clean. However lots of poison Ivy between sites. Bathrooms were kept clean and cleaned regularly. A huge negative was the pump station was on the wrong side causing us to loop extra and having to carefully maneuver tight turns and lots of trees. The gate attendants and campground hosts were so nice and helpful. We will be back.

Smith ridge is a very nice Army Corp of Engineering campground. The camp spots are spacious with many having water and electric. The facilities were clean. Many of the campers there were locals and because of it being summer time there was many children playing and riding their bikes. Definitely a family campground. I will come back to for sure. But for me it will be during the fall.
