About Red Bluff Campground

Red Bluff Campground is named for towering red bluffs along Huzzah Creek, carved by the elements over the past 10,000 years. The area used to be home to timber mills, but now provides a serene spot for camping and enjoying nature. Early settlement of the area surrounded the Boyer Mill constructed around 1830. Railroads created a thriving timber industry till the supply was depleted. The land was purchased by the U.S. Forest Service in 1940 and has been used as a recreation area. Red Bluff is located in the Potosi-Fredericktown Ranger District of the Mark Twain National Forest. Large, red bluffs on the opposite side of Huzzah Creek, gravel bars along the creek, a mixture of pools and riffles and natural vegetation provide a backdrop for a very relaxing camping experience. Wading and swimming in Huzzah Creek are enjoyed by visitors. The water can be swift-moving at times and rocks and drop-offs are not marked. Fishing is also popular in the area and anglers can expect to find bass, sunfish, suckers, and catfish.  Three new camping loops were constructed above the Huzzah Creek floodplain – Ridge Top Loop, Creek Loop, and Group Loop - each of which have modern restrooms, water, and electricity on 2023. A new shower house, a dump station, and second pavilion were also added for visitor convenience. Camping spurs are variable in size and layout to accommodate recreational vehicles and trailers of all types.   A fourth camping loop, Pines Overlook, was renovated but remains a non-electric loop.

Red Bluff is a beautiful campground and the campground hosts Lisa and Josh are remarkable.
They helped my sister who was on crutches get to the creek and they carried stuff for us. The bathrooms were kept very clean and they just are super friendly.

Park was peaceful and beautiful. Would have been 5 stars except for two things. We went to use the showerhouse and restrooms at about 645 am and they were locked! Why? Then, the dump station. The black tank waterline did not have threads on the end of it. It was way too short and without threads we couldn't hook our black tank hose to it to flush our tank. Big inconvenience. Both things can be easily remedied. We will probably come back, we have family that lives in that area, but please fix that hose!

Nice campground. Just wished they had left some shade trees, because all sites were in direct sun with some morning or evening shade. Be sure to fill up water at the potable water station adjacent to the dump station. The faucets throughout the campgrounds do not have garden hose connections, just a spout. Good access to the Huzzah River and gravel bar from the day use area. We will camp here again.

I've camped here for many years and its so beautiful. But this year the dump station is out of commission. Which costs us an extra $10 to take it to another station to dump.

Unfortunately, because of threatening weather we did not stay the night but we greatly appreciated the well-maintained and clean campground. We did picnic and walked the roads.
