Smith Memorial Park is a campground and day-use park in the town of Hector. We offer camping from May through October and welcome the public for day-use of our picnic areas, swim beach, and walking trails.

Smith Memorial Park belongs to the Town of Hector, and as such, is free to the public. There is no charge for parking or visitation for day-use.

Visitors can park in the lot across from the office and walk down to the beach to swim when lifeguards are on duty. Check our swim beach tab for open hours.

While dogs are not allowed at the swim beach, they are allowed to swim along the rest of our lakefront areas. Head to the boat launch or down our Green Path to access the shore with your furry friend!
