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.
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.
Nice and shady. Only gripe I had was not being able to get firewood. I had to unhook and drive to town.
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.
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.
Halloween camping, great family time
lots of kiddo trick or treaters
It's beautiful here
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.
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!
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.
Boating, fishing, hiking. Large camp sites. Friendly
