New Redman Creek Campground Policies for 2015

Published Sept. 11, 2014

Wappapello Lake - To provide more flexibility to our customers and make reserving a campsite easier, the following changes will be made at Redman Creek campground, sites 1-109 in 2015:

- All campsites can be reserved. There will no longer be “first-come, first-serve” campsites.
- Same Day Reservations for sites 1-109 will be allowed.
- There will be a two-day minimum stay for weekends and a three-day minimum stay for holiday weekends of Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day.
- The campground fee booth located on the east side will be open seven days a week.
- There will no longer be an “honor” vault in the campground to pay fees when the Park Attendant is off duty.
- Incoming reservations will no longer be posted on each campsite post. Occupied campsites will have the departure date posted on the campsite post.
- Campers arriving to the campground without a prior reservation will be required to book an available site prior to setting up on it. This may be done by booking the site through the Park Attendant, calling the reservation service at 1-877-444-6777 or going online at www.recreation.gov. Payment for reservations through the toll free line or the web must be made by credit/debit card.

The new policies as stated above for 2015 will not affect the six island campsites (I01-I06) or the four day use shelters (S01, S02, S03 and S08) in the Redman Creek Recreation Area. These will continue to have the four-day reservation window and incoming reservations posted as in the past.

We are currently utilizing all available media resources to prepare our customers for this change. Information will be posted at the campground, on project bulletin boards, Facebook, official news releases and radio interviews. All campers who have an email address in the reservation system from the last two years will be sent an email notifying of the changes. Customers without an email address will receive an automated telephone call to their number on file.
