We had a wonderful time with family camping at Smith Ridge Campground. We had two sites next to each other, one with 5th wheel and the other with tent. Hosts were very friendly and restrooms and shower house was very clean. We will camp here again. Very peaceful setting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Lots of quiet time spent together without everyone being on electronic devices because of no cell service or Wi-Fi.

Sites 45 thru 49 have power problems.
These sites will trip your surge protectors when the campground is full and there is a high power demand.
Keep in mind on hot holiday weekends.

I do not like the fact that there was 3 electric sites left open for rent because they are for 14 day rentals. They sat empty the 5 day I was there. I was stuck taking a nonelectric site, I could have had electric. You need to do away with that.
I have been camping at smith's ridge since it opened years ago.

campground attendant was very gracious and helpful. restrooms and showers clean .
campground needs more overflow parking or allow water toy trailers to park on the excess grass area on campsites. Park Rangers should police other issues than a trailer or vehicle on the grass .. excess overflow parking is at the check-in, on grass . redundant policy to me.
I would gladly pay extra for sewer; nonexistent in this campground.

Love the forest setting, clean, bathrooms well maintained. Unfortunate that you are not paying the hosts, which are volunteers, great job but where are the funds going? We love this location. Get the funds you needs for campers to enjoy. Put up shower curtains in the bath house please.
