The campground is beautiful and the camp host was very friendly. But I stayed in site #10 and it was up 2 flights of stairs carved into the hill , it was very small part of our tent was hanging off the hill, and there was no lake access at all. But the campground it's self is very beautiful and well kept the bathrooms are nice and clean and even smelt good.
Was a very peaceful and well-kept campground. There are a couple trails down to the lake. The website is a little outdated and should be updated. Reservations are definitely recommended Camp sites will only fit 2 small tents or 1 large one, so keep that in mind. There was running water access points it's just non-potable. Good for dishes and whatever else you'd need.
Great experience at Mary Smith!! We had a spot right on the lake with a beautiful view. Campground was quiet and bathrooms were well-kept and clean. Best part was the very friendly host who came around to say hi and make sure we had everything we needed, and she even recommended local swimming spots and other nearby affordable kayak rentals. Definitely recommend!
Beautiful place! Really enjoyed the easy lake access. Sites are very small, can fit 1-2 tents. Lots of delicious blackberries in late July/August. There's also a wonderful trail along the lake. The host was helpful and restrooms were clean. The only downside was lots of wasps around most of the camp. It was totally fine until the last day when my friend got stung. Still it's the wasps home too so I can't be mad.
This place is great! Preferably a tent cabin or one of the tent spots near them. Even when it's full it's low volume! Loved it and even adopted the resident friendly cat Willie!! And the place right down the road Pine Cove Marina rents canoes, kayaks, and party barges! Stay at the lake at dusk and dawn for the bats!!
