Site 008 was very nice and really level. We weren’t able to check in at the traditional registration booth across the street due to it being the off season. We went ahead and backed in and set up. A couple hours later the hosts came around and checked us in with no issues. Our site was great with plenty of room. Very close to the shower house as well. T Highway next to the campsite has been repaved and is so much nicer with only one exception. The old Highway had no rumble strip, but now it does. (We sat and watched them cut it in as we camped) It seemed like every third vehicle would hit the rumble strip heading into the curve which seemed to add some noise that previously was not an issue. Other than that we had a great weekend camping trip!

We love staying at Redmon Creek East. It is quiet and friendly! Campsites are set up in a way that you don't feel like you are right on top of your neighbors which allows privacy. We would recommend Redmon Creek East to anyone wanting to get away and rest!!
