Description of site on recreation.com said “Full shade”. That site was so far from full shade, it was ridiculous. VERY little shade. In August! NOT pleasant.

Redman Creek Campground was great. It had been rebuilt after a storm and re-opened less than a year ago. All roads and sites were paved with concrete under the picnic tables and fire pits New electric, sewer and water. Very pretty with lots of shade. StarLink still worked perfectly The camp host was so nice and helpful

Bring a mosquito tent because it is horrible soon as the sun goes down they come out all around and you are covered. There’s no getting away from them even in the mosquito tent pavilion they still got in and was ridiculous and had to go inside by 9 o’clock couldn’t even enjoy a fire!!! They really need to spray but other than that you have hot showers, full hook ups, and a very friendly environment
