We enjoyed our one night stand. There were plenty of spots available with 20, 30, and 50 amperes⚡️ The area is well maintained, very friendly owner and neighbors. The bathrooms and showers were clean. Spots for fishing nearby. $40 a night. Each site has its own picnic table and a fire pit or grill. The only downside is there were thousands of flies that also got into our trailer.

We travel all over for my husbands work and have stayed at many campgrounds in different states this is by far the best stay we’ve had at a campground all because of the campground hosts Chris and Janet I cannot say enough about how well they take care of the campground we went through some bad storms including tornado warnings they were always there making sure the campers were safe by warning us of impending weather and making sure we all made it to the shelter when the tornadoes sirens went off in the midddle of night. First thing the next morning Chris was out picking up and clearing all the limbs and debris for the safety of everyone. The restroom/shower house and laundry facilities are always clean and sanitized they work very hard and it was very much appreciated. To top it all off they were the kindest campground hosts our family has encountered, they will stop and visit to make sure all is well and an absolute blessing towards our little girl she had a lot of fun with them. We look forward to staying whenever we are in town.

We were greeted when we came in to park by the Camp Host, they are very nice and very helpful. Everything was very clean. It’s nice and shady. It’s close to the town of Smithville, which has everything you need. It’s very close to Smithville campground and we are right below the damn. I would recommend this park to stay in. We paid in advance for three nights and ended up staying two more, we will return. It’s a very safe place to stay! We will return!!

My husband and I have been coming to Smith Fork Campground for 3 years. We love it so much. The camp hosts, Chris and Janet, are the best ❤️ They both do a fantastic job with this place and the people. The campgrounds are very well maintained, and the bathrooms and showers are always clean. This is a very beautiful and quiet campground. We are now full-time RVers, and we will be doing a lot of traveling. we will miss Chris and Janet very much. But whenever we come back to KC, we will definitely stay here every time. #fulltimervinit
