One of our favorite campgrounds. The table in our site and our friends site are in need of repair or replacement however.

Campsite ready by check in time. Camp host friendly and helpful. Some toilet facilities aged, but kept clean as possible with mjnjmal odor.

Great Host. Smiling River had a mix of tent, small and medium Campers. Only one night for 2 hours did one person use a generator.
I was able to charge sufficiently with solar panels and still have nice shade
