What Guests Are Saying

The Dam Site offers a beautiful area with great views of the lake. However, visitors should be cautious of low tree branches that could damage trailers. Access can be challenging during local events, as roadblocks and congestion may occur.

Nice site. Easy to get to. Set up well for wheelchair & walker use. Fire pit is surrounded by concrete patio.

Shower house is gross. Use Riverside East & West shower houses.

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!

New to camping. Had a fabulous experience at John Redmond Reservoir. Eugene.Goff@usace.army.mil was EXTREMELY helpful and accommodating.. Park Rangers were friendly and professional. Spent two weekends there! If it was not end of season… We would have booked two more weekends!

We were in spot 13. The only issue we had was our tent flooded from the rain. We also did not have a firepit. At least it only rained the first night we were there. This would be the only reason I would not recommend spot 13 for tent camping. Or at least dont put your tent directly under the trees for the shade. We moved the tent the next day and dried out just fine. We went fishing on the riverside of the dam and we went over to coffee county lake and had good luck there too.

There was one small problem with our stay. We thought we were going to be back in the second camp ground further from the damn. We booked #12. That site was close to the damn and the lake. The site was great, but it was not the site we thought we were going to get.

Quiet campground. Went to take a shower at the bath house which was gross. Drove to riverside east to use theirs. Two were locked and NO hot water. Usually a good place to go. Not this time.

Nice and quiet. Bathroom (near campsite 2) was very clean and well stocked. Brad (Park Ranger) is a great guy. Lots of wildlife to view. Also, the town of Burlington is only about 3 miles away with a handy grocery store and everything else you may need.
