For Smithwoods RV Park: We stayed at Smithwoods for Memorial Day weekend, space #55, in our 28’ TT. It was a FHU site that sits between two huge redwood trees. The lower bathrooms near us were still closed. Only the bathhouse restrooms next to the pool are open. They are dated, but clean. The heated pool was warm and pretty clean. The play structure is dated and could use some TLC. The dog park is tiny, but cute. The billiards room has two nice pool tables, pool sticks and a change machine for quarters. The front office has ice cream, snacks, candy, firewood, Smithwoods swag and drinks for sale. The front office staff was always nice. The WiFi lounge is also a game room with puzzles and board games to play. The WiFi was slow. My one bar of AT&T cell signal was much faster. There is no cell service throughout most of the park. You are 20 minutes from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Roaring Camp RR is a 5 minute drive. Check-in was rough. They requested our registration for the truck and the TT, which was a surprise to us, since it hadn’t been mentioned on their website or when we spoke on the phone. I had neither current registration card with me. The Costa Rican Golf Cart Guy gave me way too much grief about it. I was driving a new truck and a new trailer, but Costa Rican Golf Cart guy wanted to dress me down with a lecture about what the vehicle code requires. He came off as an A-hole and left a bad impression with my entire family. Ironically, he’s mentioned many times in Yelp reviews for the same confrontational behavior with others. Costa Rican Golf Cart guy redeemed our opinion of him when he escorted us to our site and assisted me with backing into our site which sat between two gigantic redwood trees. I appreciated the help. He also was much more friendly and personable the rest of our stay. Smithwoods is a family friendly, quiet RV park set amongst the redwoods. Other than the unnecessary hassle at check-in, it was an pleasant stay for us.

For Smithwoods RV Park: I was looking for a place to stay with my family and 3 amazing dogs. When I came across this RV park I was pretty optimistic. Before I even got a chance to book, I read their pet policy. “No Pit bulls or Pit Bull type dogs or other aggressive dogs allowed. I have had pittys my whole life and currently have 3. They are the sweetest and kindest and like every child or animal it depends on the parent as well. I think this is absolutely disgusting and comes from a severely uneducated opinion. We should know by now, if at any point, that discrimination in any form is unacceptable.

For Smithwoods RV Park: Pros: close to Henry Cowell State Park and nice hiking; very quick and efficient check in; nice and helpful people in the office and working in the park; they were able to accommodate us pretty much last minute. Cons: bathrooms ok but water regulator in shower does not work well. You either burn or freeze. Only one restroom open, but that’s because of COVID. Spaces close together and we had noisy neighbors.

For Smithwoods RV Park: I previously gave this park a 5 star review and have stayed here several times. I called for a space last week and was told they had one space. My rig is 32.8 ft so I told them 33 feet. Their space was for a 32 foot RV. They would not let me have it. When I told them the actual size, 32.8, they simply said sorry! I won’t stay there again. They lost a returning customer over an 8 inch difference. Very stupid!! No business sense.

For Smithwoods RV Park: Stayed 4 nights in a motorhome. Very nice people all around. From check in to departure. Awesome park, in the redwoods. Really enjoyed hiking in Henry Cowell State Park located next door. Had great site with private fire pit surrounded by redwoods. Would stay here again.

For Smithwoods RV Park: Very friendly and helpful staff. They show you to your spot and help guide you to park between the big Redwoods!
Have stayed there twice in the last month! Once during a vintage trailer rally which was so cool.
