First time at Redbud was good. Clean, quiet, and peaceful! The bathrooms could have been better!

The camp hosts are very disrespectful and rude people. They are not helpful and have an attitude with anyone they can talk to. During our stay the woman walked around to several camp sites yelling at them for various things (this was not just after quiet hours). I was awakened to her yelling at someone next to us which was ridiculous because if I cant hear them right next to me, she couldnt either from her spot. We had more than one friend camping in various spots and she did the same thing to all of their campsites as well. Again, not just after quiet hours. Its crazy and ridiculous. I have never had an issue at Redbud before now. It appears they are draining their gray water into their flower bed as well. Maybe look into that as well as obtaining a better camp host!

Positives: Nice view and easy to pull camper into. Negatives: No access to half decent bathroom/shower with plumbing. Camp-hosts are not friendly people.

The location was easy to find and easy to maneuver. Only 4 campers total in the 11spaces, so it was very quiet for this scenic area... I would have stayed here longer if my travel plans allowed.
