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.

Best Campground ever! Clean showers/bathrooms, friendly staff. Roomy sites on the B loop, nice wooded ones on the A loop so something for everyone! We won't stay anywhere else when we're camping at Green River.

Site itself was amazing. There are however very few facilities for younger families. Wasn’t a lot for the kids to do unfortunately. We made the best of it and kept them busy and involved regardless and had a great time.
