We stayed at Campsite 35 on our way to and from mammoth cave national park in mid March of 2023. The site was pretty level from side to side. The site was clean and well laid out. We have a 24 ft bumper pull and had no issue backing in. We did not use the bathhouse or facilities. We never saw any staff or ranger while there. It was super quiet and clean grounds.

Always a great experience here. Had a leak at the water faucet, contacted the COE and someone was out and fixed it an hour later. Great park!

This is a full hookup COE at the site area I was in. Did some biking and would like to try fishing if I ever make it back.

The volunteers were friendly and professional. Would like to see more COE campgrounds open in the winter if possible

This was our first trip to redman. The campsites are very nice and the managment was excellent. They checked on us to be sure things were working. We will camp there again in the future.

As usual, COE campgrounds are the best. Well spaced, easy access, well maintained. Mid-Winter so I didn’t get to enjoy the lake except for the view. The 2-night minimum on weekends is a pain, but at only $12 (Senior Pass), it’s hard to complain.
