Clean sites. Good neighbors and walking distance to river.

It was 7 pm and very dark already when I arrived after drive 10 hours. My reserved campsite was occupied by someone. There was reserved sign and my name but he doesn't want to leave. Me and my wife went to see the manager but office was closed and locked.
We found one FF campsite available and it was the last one. WE paid another campsite pay and we could stay overnight. When I met manager next morning, he said he went to outside for dinner at 7 pm last night. They refunded reservation fee into my credit card.
Money is not important at that night. If there was no campsite available, where we could stay at that night. Recreation.gov is very reliable, good online system. I hope them protect this kind of violation.

We were happy with the facilities and very much appreciative of the help that the camp host provided. The bathrooms were very clean and the site has pay hot showers available. The campground is just up the hill from the Smith River, and just down the hill from US 199. As far as we could tell, all of the camp spots are in heavy shade all day long. The decibel level in this campground from the road noise of US 199 was surprisingly high. For as many trees as there were separating off the campground this was a bit of a shock, but the level was not so high that I would not have stayed here. Others may disagree with me on that, so be warned. There is a path from one of the bath houses that goes down to the Smith River. The day use area for the river has a very nice little beach area (think suitable for a small family only size) that is kind of hidden, just upstream of the parking lot. A sign near the parking lot warns to beware of snakes in this area. We had reserved a spot in this campground several weeks prior for one night, and upon arrival at about 4 PM found that specific camp site full of someone's stuff, but no car. As our name was on the reserve tag we were pretty sure it was our spot for the night, so we checked in with the camp host. It was his day off, but he helped us out anyway, and confirmed that it was supposed to be our spot for the night. Really any of the spots in the campground would have been acceptable, but they were all full up for the night. After about an hour of phone tag with supervisors they had forest service police come out and they were going to pull the stuff out of the spot. The forest service police and the owners of the stuff showed up at about the same time. The previous occupants were convinced they had the spot for another night, but could not provide any documentation to that effect. In the end they gathered their stuff and left after making a big huff. We were a bit nervous after that, but the rest of our stay was uneventful.

Generators are allowed to operate until 10 pm. The people next to me had two going. Couldn't even hear the river. This policy needs to be changed. Noise makers up to 10pm?
