Recreation Heaven

Lots of recreational activities with lake access. Staff was very friendly. Concrete pads are level and sites are spacious with a picnic table and fire pit. Close to Ft. Bragg entrance, Exchange, and Commissary. This campground is near a military runway so be prepared for loud aircraft noise as well as other military installation noise.

Great Army MWR Campground

Clean and level site (6). Fire pit, picnic table and cement pad with full hookup. Many AD soldiers and their families fulltime. They have been great. Next to Simmons Army Air Field so, expect whirlybirds at all hours buzzing the CG. All the sounds of freedom are to be expected and enjoyed. It's winter so, the lake and amenities aren't available for use. But, they look great and you can fish inside the rec area, just not from the Campground.

Smith Lake Visit

Campground is off the beaten path but we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Availability required us to move during our stay but that wasn’t a big deal. We loved the sounds of freedom and enjoyed seeing our service members practicing flight maneuvers. Being retired aviation, we peacefully slept thru it all. We didn’t use facilities but staff was helpful and professional. Would recommend and stay again.

Great Family Fun for DoD Members

Great Stay for DOD associated members.

Playgrounds were phenomenal for kids. Bike and Hiking trails all through out the site. Fishing as well - with respective fishing license.

Staff was very receptive and the facilities were new right on the Smith Lake Beach. Beautiful. You can rent kayaks and paddle boats right on the water front, but the beach is only open on Weekends until Labor Day.

Sites were pretty tight to one another and not each site had a fire ring — community fire rings only.

Overall great experience - and highly recommended for military families.
