Only spent one night but the campground was very nice and clean and sites are pretty roomy. The shower rooms were abundant and clean. A lot of wildlife in the area and the beach is only about 2 miles away. It was a very nice stay. Absolutely no cell reception so that is the only downside.

Steve at the entrance was the most accommodating and helpful as anyone I've ever come across at other campgrounds!!! He made my visit worth while...My only complaint would be no phone service??
@ThereseTE39249 · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #44
The campsite is great! Just know there is absolutely no cell service.

The bathrooms weren't stocked. The entire time we were here the bathroom did not have hand soap, on the last day there was no TP and two of the toilets were clogged. There was a nest of spiders in one of the showers, 3 of which attempted to come down while I was showering which didn't end well for them. The site itself is on top of a hill with a steep incline and was a little scary especially with a child. The beach is not technically a part of the campground but ran by emerald isle which I found to be trashed, cigarette butts littered the sand, people were smoking out in the water and never swam back to put them out so I'm sure they are floating in the water somewhere. I'm not one to complain but this was probably the worst campground I've been to.

Smith Ridge is a lovely campground to enjoy while visiting Green River. It is a great place to view deer especially. The bathrooms could be managed a little more timely because there was no toilet paper when needed. We were there over the Fourth of July and thought the grounds should have been mowed closer to the 4th. The grass was taller than last year. The road throughout the campground has always been an issue when we have camped in the past but some improvements were noticed this year. All in all it is a great place but just a few areas could be touched up

A great place to stay, the host was great. The only con would is that Verizon didn't work unless we went to the top of the hill. But I found it nice that sit around and talked instead of being on their phones the whole time. (T-Mobile) worked very well there.
@CHRISTOPH55817 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #43
Overall, clean and nice campground. No cell phone service so unable to receive any weather updates.

@BeverlyCF1EA2B · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #22

@StevenC2003509 · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #27
We stayed at spot 27 which has electric and water hook up. Was nice and woody! Heavy rains had a lot of the trails closed or under water so couldn't go to many walking/hiking trails. Ticks were everywhere! Campground attendant was nice and pleasure to speak with. Wishing him a speedy recovery to his broken left hand!!! And water lines repaired in a timely manner...Very nice and quiet area away from the busy city sounds and lights!
@DonaldT1196485 · Camped on May 31, 2025 at Campsite #56
Curtis the volunteer host was fantastic! Super friendly and willing to help and/or answer questions. The bathrooms were updated and very clean. The showers were separate. Not as clean but the water was nice and hot. This was just for 3 days to relax so we didnt do any activities except to walk the campground. We were in loop B. Beautiful grounds. Love the grassy areas. If you wanted to be more secluded you would want to pick the other loop that is more in the woods.
@AshleyS5221344 · Camped on May 31, 2025 at Campsite #46
We had a good time. The site was as expected and the bathroom was clean. I would say in comparison with other sites, this one is not particularly kid friendly. Theres only one play area and no beach access.
@ChrisW1509692 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #7
Peaceful and quiet campground.
@NancyB3949689 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #22

The camp hosts are active and visible. The Ranger quickly responded to having two metal spikes near picnic table removed. Clean bathrooms.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
