I'm happy to say 2025 has been a good year at Red Haw. Charlie and I (KrysAnn) are this year's Camp Host. We plan to come back next year. It was busy but we got a chance to meet some really nice people. Working with Riley Henry the Park Manager has been fun. We have learned a lot from each other. Carey Joe our 2.5 y.o. Antolian Great Pyrnese will miss her buddy. She has made a life long friend and will look forward to seeing Riley Henry in the spring when we come back for 2026.

We really enjoyed visiting here and will definitely visit this park on our next trip through. It is great for kids, pets, and just going for a walk or bike ride.

The Park is very well maintained, very near the River. There is a variety of sites. The Rest Rooms are maintained, but there could be more. The only real downside is that the Highway traffic is not muffled at all.
