Campground is beautiful, however, VERY disappointed in the noon check out time on Sunday as it does not allow for the morning and lunch to be enjoyed before being pushed out

My only complaint is that I really dislike the new checkout time. We as a family love to eat breakfast together. Then we visit all morning one last time while making a nice lunch. However with the new checkout time we have to rush breakfast and no lunch as a family. Which for us is the whole point of camping. Spending quality time together as a family.

We have always loved camping at Red Rock Lake Howell Station. The sites are clean, and the restrooms are always clean. The volunteers are so super nice. Willing to help you.

The campsites are very spacious and mostly shaded. We especially like the walking paths along the river.

We always have a great time at Howell Station. We have been coming there for six years. We love it. It is always taken care of and all the workers are friendly.
We will be back next year.

The check out time of 12pm is terrible! We won't be staying at red rock as much because of this!

We absolutely loved this campground. The spots are huge. The entire campground was very clean and well maintained. There are 4 dump stations. There is a very nice paved bike trail.

This campground has the cleanest rest rooms of all the Corp campgrounds we've ever stayed at. The hosts are fantastic.

Big campsites with large trees but not much privacy. Clean bathhouse. Just wish there was water hookup
