Not sure what has changed in the last few years, but the bathrooms are not cleaned like they used to be, the showers are not scrubbed out anymore.
This is the only problem we have camping at Redman, please have them clean better

Redman Creek was an unexpected find! Our site was large, level, private and had full hookups. We had a view downhill and into the forest. The campground was well-tended and very clean.

Very nice. There was an issue with the site I reserved and they handled it extremely fast and friendly. It did not delay us a minute because they had taken care of before we even arrived and had a different site ready to go. Host were very nice and professional park is very clean and nice love it there

Very close between campsites-crowded. Paved pads to park on but gravel to get to your picnic table and wife fell. Ashes were 13 inches deep in firepit, don't think they clean them ever. They need more handicaped accessible sites so older people don't fall. Staff is friendly and efficient but still couldn't ashes cleaned out. Gas and quickshops are close but 15 miles to a major grocery in poplar bluff. Will return but its not as good as most core campgrounds.

Camp sites are easy to get into and are well maintained. Full hook ups are all in great working order. Helpers spray to sanitize for Covid every day. Redman West has always been a peaceful stay every time we have stayed here.

Excellent campground with full hookups, spacious sites, bathhouse, and trash disposal bins.
Road noise during the day, but dies down at night.
