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.
