Customer Reviews
I stumbled into Red's on my third day of the JMT and enjoyed the Gatorade and food immensely. The bus to get to the campground is easy to figure out, the people are helpful, and the showers and laundry made me feel like a human being again. The only thing that wasn't amazing was the hiker box - significantly smaller than VVR's or MTR's. But if you trade with the hikers around you, you'll do just fine. And there's plenty of supplies to be had in the general store, they're just more expensive than the free 99 rations in the box.
If you want to really get a taste of the John Muir Wilderness, but are not back country hikers, this is an awesome place to experience it. Our two night stay was the highlight of our trip and the operators of this establishment are very kind, friendly and helpful.
Wonderful experience for JMT resupply and 1 night stay in their hiker hotel room. Everyone was super helpful and accomodating. Highly recommend if passing through.
Would give them 5 stars if the restaurant served fries!! Such a great backcountry experience for those of us thru hiking! Loved the hiker cabin, showers, laundry and restaurant!
Big ants in the room. Minimal service - they’re just reopened still working out the kinks but don’t expect any major improvements anytime soon. With the shuttle running staying in town may be a better choice.
