What campers say

Mary Smith Campground sits on a scenic lakeshore and is generally described as peaceful and well kept, with clean restrooms and a friendly on-site host. Many sites are small—suitable for one to two small tents or one larger tent—and some are steep or reached by stairs, so site selection and reservations are recommended. Several trails provide lake access and nearby kayak/canoe rentals are available, though the water is often cold. Facilities are limited (no showers or sinks; some running water is non-potable). Occasional wasps are reported; expect a quiet, natural experience with these tradeoffs.
