Boaters and anglers find multiple access options at this US Forest Service campground on Redinger Lake, with drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in sites available year-round. The campground sits on elevated terrain above the water, requiring campers to hike down to reach the shoreline rather than parking directly at the water's edge. Most sites lack shade coverage, which can make vehicles quite hot during summer months.
The lake offers clear water and several beach areas suitable for setting up chairs, though water levels drop significantly in summer. A boat launch and dam are located at one end of the campground. Cell service is available, and the facility allows pets, campfires, and alcohol. For those wanting closer water access, Smalley Cove Campground provides an alternative along the same reservoir system.
