Red Mill Pond

Yes, fishing is available at Red Mill Pond Campground. The campground is named for the pond that's on site, which provides opportunities for fishing. While it's a small body of water, you can enjoy some casual fishing during your stay. Consider bringing your own fishing gear as this is a primitive camping area without any rental facilities or bait shops nearby. Be sure to check local fishing regulations and secure any necessary fishing licenses before your visit.

Red Mill Pond Campground is accessible by vehicle, though the access road has some challenges. Be prepared for a bumpy drive with numerous potholes, which might be difficult for low-clearance vehicles. There's no significant signage directing visitors to the campground, so having GPS coordinates or detailed directions is recommended. The site does offer ample space to maneuver larger vehicles like camper vans once you arrive. Four-wheel drive or higher clearance vehicles will have an easier time navigating the access road, especially after rainfall.

The best time to camp at Red Mill Pond is during dry weather in late spring through early fall. The site can become very soggy after rainfall, with both the ground and grass becoming waterlogged and potentially uncomfortable for camping. Late summer tends to offer more reliable dry conditions. Be aware that hunting seasons (particularly fall) bring more traffic as hunters pass through the area, which might affect the peaceful atmosphere. Weekdays typically see fewer visitors than weekends, offering more solitude for those seeking a quiet camping experience.

Red Mill Pond Campground is a primitive, dispersed camping area with very minimal amenities. The site features basic fire circles/rings, though some may be in deteriorating condition. There are no facilities like running water, electricity, trash service, or restrooms. The vault toilet that was previously on-site is no longer available. This is truly a back-to-basics camping experience where you'll need to bring everything you need and pack everything out. The campground offers a quiet, secluded environment with enough space to maneuver larger vehicles like camper vans.
