What a beautiful place this is. We loved the untouched beauty and quiet of John Redmond. We were right on the river in a nice shaded spot. The shores surrounding the reservoir are loaded with all types of birds and native flora. The campsites from 19-26 are spacious with a mowed path that runs between. We can barely see the next sight from ours through the trees. If you are looking for a more recreational place this may not be for you. This is primarily a hotspot for fisherman. There is no marina. There were a few kayaks on the river but otherwise very quiet. We did have to pick up some trash when we arrived. Beer cans and other drink containers. A bonus is that you can scavenge kindling and firewood. There is a lot on the surrounding grounds. This is not a manicured site. But we enjoyed that. If you camp here make sure you visit Otter Creek. The shoreline is open and beautiful. One night we visited it at sunset and the quiet was deafening. I haven’t heard quiet like that in years. The next night we visited there was a strong breeze coming in toward the shore and it reminded me of standing on a beach by the ocean with the waves coming in. This will definitely be a place we visit frequently!

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
