We were in site 75. The bathrooms were disgusting that were close to the campsite. They are not cleaned as should be and should be cleaned more often.

Campgrounds are well maintained. Shower houses were insect free and clean but there is no ventilation and they are really super-hot in the summer.

013 is a pull through, very nice, quiet. Next time we will choose Redman Creek East much nicer, all sites has new concrete and well spaced, full hookups. Not much for shopping or groceries in the area other than DG's.

Re-pave your pads at Redman Creek so water will not stand under the campers. Otherwise, very good, nice place to camp.

Love the campground, however the bathrooms amd showers are absolutely disgusting, we were there for 5 nights and the bathrooms and showers were not cleaned once. I had to clean the stall so we had at least one clean toilet, and bring our own toilet paper because there was none. Over all the camp sites are very nice and clean.
The campground need more then 2 dumpster, it absolutely ridiculous.

We stayed here1-night in a 27’ travel trailer and the site was plenty long enough to remain hooked up. Park was clean, well maintained. Campground hosts were extremely helpful in finding a site for us. We look forward to staying longer next time through!

The campground was clean and easy to get into. The host was very friendly. The price was wonderful! The only problem was the bathroom being so hot. There was't even a fan.
