Comment

Smithwoods RV Park is in a lush big redwood forest with plenty of shaded camp spots.  The campground is open all year with RV sites but, No Tenting.  Approximately 110 camp spots are available.  Big rigs to approximately 45(estimated) feet can be accommodated.  It's located on the San Lorenzo River and boarders the Henry Cowell Redwood State Park.  It's a quiet location and one of the few campgrounds in the area with a pool. 

Local Recreation:

The Roaring Camp Narrow Gauge Railroad is located just a few miles from the campground.  Train tours and much more are available.  There is a small western town with shops and restaurants.  There is also a meeting hall/play house there. 

The campground is in a great spot for launching hiking and biking activities into the adjacent Henry Cowell Redwood State Park.

The San Lorenzo River passes the campground and is a great spot for cooling off or fishing.
