Nice campground. We enjoyed a campsite on the river. Negatives include no garbage bin on site. You have to drive to a very busy fishing access 2 miles downstream to dump garbage. There are speed bumps as you proceed into the campground from the highway. Great idea as the roads are gravel. Speed bumps throughout are necessary! Camping spots near river are pull through and are just off the gravel road. Many do NOT slow down stirring up a great amount if dust!!!

Are family has been camping 9 years straight at Red Mountain
I can say this was the worst time we have had here and we won't be back.
To many dogs off leashes including the camp host it's disrespectful to others trying to enjoy free time.
I spent most of my time chasing dogs out of my camp area.

Thanks...
