ScoutFriendly camp hosts. Nice large sites with even and level grass. There are padded FHU sites available. Immaculate bathrooms and showers. Fresh, clean water at hookups. Very quiet despite being on major roadway. Good value. Would stop again.
ScoutThe original site we booked was a full hookup site. However, after using some boards and all 48 leveling blocks, the stairs up into the RV/Camper didn’t touch the ground. The full hookup had the sewer hookup uphill from the site…?
Moved to the “Hangar” section which was right next to the dumping station and in the middle of their maintenance lot/yard.
Staff were very friendly and did what they could to accommodate. However…the office is at the far end of the grounds, not where you pull in. If no one is manning the gate, you have to drive your RV/Camper all the way thru the park to check in.
TravelerQuiet, just enough trees for privacy, clean bathrooms, fun amenities, close to everything.
GuideGreat location!
I was in the upper ice age campground at site 416 and really enjoyed it. The sites are fairly close together, but in May the foliage is dense enough to block out most of the noise. Water stations were never too far away, along with restrooms and dumpsters. The site also had a well kept picnic table and a fire ring.
Outside of the site, this area is beautiful! A friend and I went biking through the park and just outside. Didn’t get a chance to hike, but there were plenty of trails and you can even rent a kayak or canoe. To top it all off, they have ice cream by the lake 🤩
Will definitely be back to check out the rest of the park!
GuideFirst, there’s an additional $16 per day admission fee to get into the park. This is dry camping, no generators allowed. Came to $60per night. It was a dirt space that was not level. It is a pretty park though, and only
ScoutThis was a great camping venue sbout 7 years ago. The owner passed way in about 2018 and the family closed down. There is an adjacent campground much smaller which might be open for business.
ScoutI love Smokey Hollow Campground! The scenery is stunning, and the friendly staff really make a difference. For anyone planning a visit, I recommend checking out the driving directions—they’re super helpful to avoid any hiccups on your way there. Happy camping!
ScoutOnly seasonal sites but love the area and campsites - quiet - relaxing with full hookups what else you need and on the White River impoundment.
ScoutFantastic! I called the day before and she got me right in an excellent spot. Very nice and helpful and so grateful they were open in Winter ❄️🥶
