Introduction

Smith's Trout Haven is a Family Friendly campground. This is the perfect place for a weekend away with the kids or an extended family get-together. We have 60 RV sites with electrical hookups, 14 tent sites, and 4 group sites. Quiet hours begin at 10:00PM and are strictly enforced. Alcohol is not permitted. There are several water spigots at the entrance, and porta-potties are provided throughout the campground.

A wonderful and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your time away from home. We're located about a mile west of the busy downtown area. You will enjoy the quiet of the countryside and still be close to the activities of Lava Hot Springs. We have two playgrounds for the kids with wide open grassy areas for games and fun. There is a trout pond located within the campground for fishing activities for both the young and young-at-heart.

We are open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day.
