Redbud Campground

Great location for dry camping. It got really busy for hunting season and the roads in were pretty deep with mud and potholes so be careful!

We absolutely loved staying at Redbud Campground for the night and hiking the nearby Bell Smith Springs Trails. The sites are only $10 a night and are very primitive, there is a waterless toilet. Bring water, toilet paper, and bug spray. We stayed at site #2 and had a nice picnic table, fire ring, level gravel area for our tent and a post to hang our lantern from. Keep your food packed up we heard critters at night searching for food. The walking trails have beautiful land formations, breath-taking views and cool, clear streams to explore.

Beautiful place to get away and immerse yourself in natural wonder! However, please put out your campfires! Rangers drive by every now and then and will check your registration. Water well pump on site (shared; hard to pump; unreliable water source) and restrooms are what they are for being vault. You might get just as much privacy and more fresh air going behind a tree - your choice! Anyways, we enjoyed a great campsite with a campfire ring in great condition. Some sites don’t have the best places to pitch a tent, but there are plenty of choices if you want to have a siesta in your hammock. Definitely do your shopping from home because even the nearest gas station is miles away, and it is small. You either plan ahead uber-sufficiently or you rough it out here.

Came from out of state to camp and hike this area! The campsite was nice and big which we took full advantage of. The information on the board at the campsite was different from what I read online days before but we figured it out. The toilets were OK, kind of dirty, could have been better. We were lucky enough to get an intact fire ring but our grill grate was broken off, we still made it work. It was nice to have access to good drinking water!

21 campsites with a fire ring/barrel, lantern post and picnic table (some metal some wood). Couple sites had damaged fire rings. Most sites should be able to fit medium size trailers, other sites have trees in the way. Vault toilets and a water station. Very quiet, clean and peaceful. Trail system nearby has great views and scenic photo ops.
