I was told to contact Smith Lake Park to see if they had anything available. When I called they was very polite. When I went up there to pay for the pavilion they was still very nice and polite, they also was very helpful with the questions that I had. The day of the party all of the kids had fun, there was a playground area with slides, swings, etc. I noticed the day I paid for the pavilion and went to look at what I rented that The playground was on the small side. There is a lot of open area though so I took a ton of different balls...... The kids had enough room to play football, soccer, kickball, etc. All in all it turned out to be a great place to do a child's birthday party, only rated 4 stars because the playground is on the small side

We rented cabin because was close to the ramp for our fishing tournament, the cabins our very convenient…. Mice droppings (on top of the refrigerator and in the floor)and overwhelming smell of mice (urine)will about choke you!!! I understand mice happen and it was cold but this cabin must of been infested by mice to smell that strong!

We tent camped in site 56. The site was clean and mostly level. Each site has power, and water was close by. Bath houses were ok and mostly clean. Our really only complaint was there were not any hooks on the walls to hang your bag in the shower stalls. 1 of the 2 stalls has a bench you can set your bag, that's the one you want. The water pressure was great. Staff was nice and helpful. The office... We tent camped in site 56. The site was clean and mostly level. Each site has power, and water was close by.

We went for Fourth of July and although it was crowded, it was totally great! The fireworks were amazing and the staff was helpful. Also, there were plenty of police everywhere so the environment felt 100%safe. We had a good time swimming and checking out the local vendors and live music!

Lucky jewel to find for a few days of rest. This place is large. Price was good too. $27 a night. Full hook-ups. Lower campground area is good for smaller rigs under 30 feet and leveling looked like an issue down in there too. It is a county park and some of the old Rv sites have some narrow roads it’s doable or ask for Rv spot up by the office. Picnic tables at all sites. We stayed there. They...

It is a county park and some of the old Rv sites have some narrow roads it’s doable or ask for Rv spot up by the office. Picnic tables at all sites. We stayed there. They are newer. More level. No trees and easy back-in. They are all back-ins. I’m sure during the summer this place is packed. Bass lake within easy walking/driving distance and lots of places to put in a pole. Good large Boat ramp too. There is a pool and playground. Good bike riding the roads. No laundry but several bathhouses. Would love to come here again for a week just for the peace. Be careful how you drive in. Get off the freeway at exit 304 and follow the signs. Don’t take other shortcuts unless you are in a smaller rig without a towed.
