What Guests Are Saying

Dam Site is a charming campground, conveniently located near main roads and offering beautiful views of the lake. While the area needs improvements in cleanliness and bathroom facilities, many guests appreciated the helpfulness of staff, particularly the COE Maintenance guy. Despite some challenges like trash left by previous visitors and adverse weather conditions, the campground remains a peaceful spot for camping and outdoor activities.

Always enjoy our time at John Redmond reservoir. Campsites are well managed. Shower house and toilets are always clean and easily accessible. Park Rangers have a good presence, are available to answer questions, professional and professional!

Nice site with covered table. Pull Through parking. Only bad thing is that it is close to where people drive by. Shower house is gross. Go to the River Side East and West to use their shower houses.

Nice site. Better for tent than camper. Kind of in a whole and difficult to get camper level. Covered table.

Shower house is gross. Hasn't changed since I was a kid. Use Riverside East & West shower houses.

Ranger was very helpful in guiding us to camp site. Due to high water, we were the only RV in the park.

New Strawn and Burlington were great places to visit/eat.

Hope to return in the future.
