Smith Creek Recreation Area Dispersed Camping

This is one of the best over overnight spots on our trip. Towing a 25ft camper we pulled in at 8pm and were the only ones there. No noise at all. There's water spigot and vaulted toilets, bbq Pavilions. Area was clean and safe.

Great place beautiful sunsets over farm fields good pond for swimming and fishing. Cool table on dock so can eat at the water. Few bench around pond. Potable water and clean bathrooms. There is power outlet at shelter. Came in our skoolie and my brother with his truck and scamp. Quiet and beautiful spot. Will hear few shots from duck h... more

It was a nice quiet place to stay for the night. Only a couple other campers there. We pulled in at night and didn’t realize there was a dead deer carcass about 100 ft from us. It did have a dumpster to dump garbage which was nice…. There isn’t a lot to do there though so just a sleepover for us and on to other adventures.

Stopped for an overnight. There were 3-4 other cars/trucks there. Small area on the pond to pitch a couple tents. Best for just a stop over to sleep

Nice to stay. Gravel parking. Potable water is available. You can take a walk around part of the lake.

When I arrived there were a couple local vehicles. Kids were swimming, another fishing. They went home and no other people camping. I had it to myself.

Clean, well manicured grass. Sweet lake, nicely kept pit toilets. I-80 is only a mile or so away, not as quiet as I prefer. Maps took me here easily.

We arrived very late to this park after a long day of travel on a Sunday night in June. Just a few people there and plenty of space to set up camp! It was great for the night & seems like it would be great for longer, as well, since there’s a nice lake with a beach and a clean outhouse. We liked that there were trash bins, picnic table... more

May 22, 2023, nice lake but it seemed a little muddy. Nothing that would stop kids from playing in it. It was around 80 degrees and cooling to mid 50s tonight. So far not a single mosquitoe. There were 3 pull behind campers and a few cars here. Realistically 1 maybe 2 more campers would fit here but the lot isn't very big. There's pit ... more

Arrived late into the evening 8/9 pm in November to an empty lot: A bit eerie, but easy, free stop over on a roadtrip. Only downside was waking up to the sounds of gun shots around 5 am as folks were hunting in the field/area next to this campground. Saw a few people pull in the next morning as I was heading out. Would come again f... more

I don’t think there are anymore actually campsites or fire pits. There’s a turn around/parking I’m assuming for boat trailers. We backed in there and saw no one for the night.
Added bonus! The lake there was frozen. Kids had a blast sliding around on it!
