Best place to camp

This is a Army Corps of Engineers campground. We love it because it is quite and peaceful. The sites are well maintained with asphalted pads, fire pit, grill, camp light pole and picnic table. Best of all it is full hook up. Redman West traditionally has older campers (sites 1-40)but Redman east usually has more kids (sites 41-109) (currently under remodel 2023 season). Both sides are family friendly. We camp Redman West March to November.

Nice COE park, but not as nice as some others

On the smaller side for COE parks, and generally pretty nice. Not many real level sites. Bring plenty of blocks. Some sites are pretty close to each other. Water & electric at sites, although our faucet leaked a lot. ATT & Verizon both worked weakly but got out. Shower house was clean, used, but clean. Roads were easy to navigate & several big rigs had no issues. Right off the hiway, so easy in & out.

Good for the price

Nice and shady. Only gripe I had was not being able to get firewood. I had to unhook and drive to town.

Nice park

Nice Park, however... Showers could be cleaner. In our 10 day stay, not once did i see anyone clean showers or bathrooms. We also had a putrid smell, septic tank or something. Most of time no one in front office booth and got our continued stay info all wrong and caretaker was rude about it cause someone messed up. On plus side, very few mostiqotoes or flies and nice hiking trails.

Quiet & Relaxing Weekend

We had plenty of shade & space between sites. Very clean site. Full hookups with a bathhouse fairly close. Paved roads for bike riding & close to the lake for swimming, kayaking, etc. Playground for the kids nearby as well. They had some sort of eagle program they put on for kids/families twice during our stay - didn’t attend, but nice that they offer it.

Only reason for ⅘ stars is that it’s not right on the water and one of the very young park rangers parked his vehicle with headlights blaring onto campsite while sitting around the fire and was rude when something was said to him about it.

Close to the lake

Nice campground. Usually full of families with children. Has a playground in the middle by the shower house. They do a Trick or Treating event at Halloween. Campers decorate campsites and the kids walk through. They also hold the Festival of Lights around Christmas time.

My short stay favorite!

When we want to camp, but not drive 3 or 4 hours to get there, we stay at Redman Creek West. Full hookups & all the flora and fauna you can poke a stick at!

Cramped campground.

I felt like this campground was cramped. We stayed at the East campground. The sites were a little closer to each other than what we are use to. The playground area was set up nicely though. Right in the middle and easy to keep an eye on your kid.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the rules and regulations at Redman Creek Campground?

Redman Creek Campground, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, maintains standard camping regulations. Sites must be kept clean, and quiet hours are enforced for peaceful camping. Fires are permitted in designated fire pits only. Campers should be aware that firewood isn't available on-site, so you'll need to bring your own or purchase it in town. The campground has full hookup sites with asphalted pads, and each site includes a fire pit, grill, camp light pole, and picnic table. Pets are allowed but must be leashed. For complete and current regulations, contact the campground office directly.

What's the difference between Redman Creek Campground East and West?

The East campground features a playground area centrally located near the shower house, making it easy to supervise children. Both sections offer full hookup sites, but campers seeking more space between sites might prefer the West section, while families with children may appreciate the amenities and social atmosphere of the East section.
