The camp hosts were very nice and welcoming. We’ve been to Redman East several times over the years and the renovations are nice but it wasn’t quite what we were expecting. The sites are still a little difficult to back in. The tag posts should’ve been moved a little further from the driveway which would make backing in with big rigs a little easier. You can tell by the ruts along the driveways that other campers have also had an hard time getting in. Otherwise, the campgrounds were nice, clean and quiet. It’s a very nice park.

Great one night stop over. Had pull through spot 10. Huge site near bath house. We were very level with great utilities. Never unhooked our towed vehicle with plenty of room.

This is a beautiful campground with well kept facilities. There is a 3 mile paved trail that allows you to ride under the road and along the lake. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Didn't have any activities that we were made aware of, sites were good as for the surface, but sewer connections on some sites are higher than the camper and was unable to dump while in position. The mosquitoes/nats or flies were awful parks need to spray for them couldn't enjoy the evening time because of them had to go sit inside my camper

Very clean,all sites were spaced out and looked level.only thing I would have liked more would be able to see the water.maybe some cleared out under brush would solve the problem.It was a very quiet relaxing stay.Host was great.Patrolling park often.Would definitely recommend this campground.

We love to camp at Redmans had a very good experience, but I got attacked by our neighbors dog, which was not on a leash. Everything turned out OK. The lawn service people who cut the grass around each pad don’t do a very good job. Grass was over the concrete at least 10 inches tall that I had to walk in. And you cut too many trees down other than that we enjoy it very much.
