Excellent forested campsite for a mid-week stay

Stopped on a Sunday evening during a westbound cross country journey. Our 20’ van had no issues circling the road to find an open First-come-first-served spot, but would advise not much longer of a rig. We had to figure out the rules for finding and paying for an open spot, but it was all fine. This is a popular campground with many sites reserved far in advance, so last-minute FCFS openings on weekends may be rare.

No dogs allowed

I drove out here to camp. The road there was amazingly beautiful, and very steep with lots of switch backs. The campground is wonderful spot. The camp host was very kind. Although, I could not stay here. There are no dogs allowed anywhere on Wasatch Mountain because it is a protected watershed. And there was a sign posted-no dogs. It would be good to update this on the Dyrt page. Saw a deer on my way out. Wish I could have stayed.

Always a favorite

This has become a family favorite.  We come every single year.  The campsites are beautiful, lots of shade.  There is also always a lot of wildlife.  This year was a moose and her calf, deer, owls, etc.

One of my favorites

This campground is quiet and has abundant wildlife.  It’s better for small campers or tent campers as the driveways were not designed for big rigs.

A family tradition

A few years ago, I looked for a campground that could accommodate larger groups (12 people).  This campground quickly became a favorite and an annual tradition for us all!  We get a double site every year, and this is by far one of my favorite weekends of the year.  The toilets are flush toilets, not vaults.  It is close to Brighton and Silver Lake.  The campground is GORGEOUS and so quiet.  The hosts are so kind.  My nieces and nephews look forward to this trip every year, and you will too!

Gorgeous!

This is one of our favorite campgrounds! It is beautiful and covered in trees. There are flush toilets and water spigots. We’ve used one of the group sites and a double site, and they are very roomy. The camp hosts have always been attentive, too. There are all sorts of activities around that make it a perfect central spot- hiking Donut Falls and around Silver Lake are two kid-friendly ones we do.

Wildlife abounds!

Very nice campground with water running in multiple places, clean multiple bathrooms and incredible wildlife coming right into your site. In Addison to numerous deer, we had two moose munching away at the willow at the adjacent site. Lots of buffers to keep make your spot feel cozy. Not terribly far to Park City though the road is among the most steep your little engine will climb!

Favorite campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon

Redman has always been one of our favorite campgrounds in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The campsites are clean, the bathrooms are exceptionally clean with flushing toilets, you are a walk or hike away from Brighton and immersed in some of the most beautiful mountains around. We camped there with tents and a Sprinter and it was perfect. Plenty of trees to string up your hammocks. Plenty of sites that are right up against the river.

Campground Review

Redman campground was a nice place. We camped next to a small stream which added nice background noise. We enjoyed a campfire and some s'mores. The only thing we would have liked better is if the camp host was more willing to work with us in telling us which spots were reserved already. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic Mountain Biking Around Here!

This is super close to my favorite mountain bike ride in Northern Utah - The Wasatch Crest Trail. As you can tell in the pictures, this area is very lush and rich with pine trees. It stays relatively cool, even in the summer time. One of the best reasons to stay here is for the mountain biking though. There's nothing like riding a bike through deep dark forests, soaring mountains, and stretching meadows riddled with flowers. Doughnut Falls is also a very worthy destination if you don't like mountain biking. It is a family friendly hike we've done many times with a three year old, especially considering how rewarding the waterfall payoff is at the end! Highly recommend camping in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
