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!

It was nice and quite
Got our camp club to visit the first time that took years to accomplish
Will be back with our group and hopefully more than once a year
Very nice bathrooms compared to to old one. We took care of the three legged raccoon and her baby with a few treats
It’s one of my favorite places
