Nice campground. Well maintained. We spent one night the beginning of October, mid week. Only saw 2  other campers.

Too many out of town fisherman, terrible fishing. Great campsites.

It's epically huge currently bouncing back from flooding

John Redmond Reservoir

Built and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it is used for flood control, recreation, water supply, and wildlife management. Fun great family location usually water isn't this high but excellent park officials nice, informative, knowledgeable, clean camp grounds well maintained as well.

Great place to fish! sometimes very overcrowded spots at creeks and nowhere to buy bait!
