Ridgetop Upper, Middle, & Lower Boat Camps

Ridgetop Upper, Middle, & Lower are three boat camps located at mile 45 on the Smith River, with Upper situated at a tighter river bend with cliff views across the water.

Middle and Lower are positioned close together and feature extensive tree cover with an elevated scenic view of the river, though they require longer hikes from the water's edge to reach the campsites.

These camps are popular for final-night floats and offer opportunities to spot wildlife such as wild turkeys across the river.
