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.

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 mi away with a handy grocery store and everything else you may need.

Wish the would enforce the dogs and lease. I had the neighbors dog twice charge me growling and barking at me in my site. Barking dogs in campgrounds are not ideal.

We had a great time. The park was quiet the park ranger was really nice. This was our first time to camp at John Redmond and we actually came back this weekend and camped over at riverside East. We will definitely be back. I lobe the quiet, the trees, the feeling of actually being away from it all.

The site was clean and shady. The park warden was very helpful with our requests for extra supplies for the privy and shelter house. We love this spot!
