Beautiful campground. A few too many generators running incessantly. Wish I understood why those folks don’t stay home to watch TV in their AC cooled homes and eat their microwaved meals. 😜

I a want to commend Kristen (not sure on spelling) the camp host at Smiling River Campground. We stayed at site 22 for two and witnessed the diligent work he performed. Spoke to him a number of times and felt very welcomed. Please note that you have a very good employee!
