Redman Campground

.

The proximity to the city allows access for many camping neophytes to this campground but the sites are excellent and it has flushing toilets.

Beautiful setting with lots of tall conifers, a nearby stream, daily sightings of deer. People adhered to quiet hours. Bathrooms with flush toilets right across the gravel road which the hosts kept plentifully stocked. However, the men's restroom did not have running water in the sink. There was a large dumpster and a water spigot near the bathrooms, too. Six large picnic tables were adequate for the 40 people who came and at least one or more tables at a time were shaded throughout the day. Nice fire pit with seating around it. Lots of level space for tents. It was challenging to have space for only 10 vehicles since we had several more than 10 families with their vehicles at our reunion. There is overflow parking near the campground entrance, a bit of a jaunt from our campsite. It wouldn't take much valuable space to add a few parking places since this is a group site. The camp hosts did not have firewood as the website described. We have group camped at Redman Campground for many years.

Redman is a jewel of a camping experience. Large campsites. The flush restrooms are clean. The pit toilets are a trial and make the walk to a flush toilet worth it.
Lee the campground host is kind and helpful.

Site 3: Lack of shade is the #1 issue — come prepared
The biggest drawback of Site 3 is the lack of natural shade — you’re fully exposed from sunup to sundown, with no relief at any point in the day. The trees are spread out, so if you bring a tarp (highly recommended, even in mild ~85° weather), plan on packing a lot of paracord to reach trees far enough apart to cover the camping and picnic area. A pop-up canopy is another option — that’s what we’d bring next time. Beyond that, the site needs general maintenance: the picnic table is in disrepair, grass around it is overgrown, the fire pit sits on uneven ground, and there isn’t enough level ground for a tent — we ended up pitching ours on the gravel parking area.
The old stove/oven on site looks long unused and shouldn’t be relied on — it appears it should simply be removed. Also, don’t count on buying firewood on site — the host told us there was none available and no delivery in over a month. Bring your own, since wood gathered from the surrounding area is mostly damp and won’t burn well. The campground overall is beautiful and the bathrooms are nice, but until Site 3 gets some upkeep, I wouldn’t recommend it, and if you do book it, come prepared for full sun, extra cord for shade, and your own firewood.

Beautiful campground with large sites lots of privacy. Will return. Good bathrooms. Moose do come into campground we saw 2 in our 7 night stay.

PROS:
1. Wonderful camp host
2. Great proximity to bathrooms
3. Cell service for T-Mobile was 5bars of 5G.
4. Loved having running water for the bathrooms and the spigot for filling up my camp dishes bucket

CONS:
1. The site is mostly sloped. There is 1 flat tent spot and the remaining options are sloped. Keep this in mind.
2. The squirrels and chipmunks are relentless

We really loved the location of this site. It has a stream running right through camp. It is near the pit toilet (need to walk further for flushing toilets), but it is fairly isolated from other sites. Only issue was when we arrived there were lots of cigarette butts on the ground, some trash, used cloths, and a diaper. It didn't take long to pick up and toss out the trash, but inconvenient.

As always, Redman campground was superb. Clean, pretty, accessible, lots of wildlife. Reasonable pricing as well.

The campground was well taken care of and able to handle our family get together. Next year, I think we will try for a larger campsite as more grandkids are expected to attend. It was a beautiful setting. The camp host was great to explain all that was going on in the camp area and any questions that we had were answered.
