Salt Lake City | Redman Campground

Redman Campground, in Salt Lake’s Big Cotton Wood Canyon, is a great place to camp with your family. Just minutes from the city, temperatures run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the Salt Lake Valley. Even in August the evenings can get cool (50s or 60s), so pack a light jacket and a blanket for sleeping. Each campsite has a large table and a fire pit. Plenty of wood available to burn if you bring your own saw, axe or hatchet. These campsites are designed more for camping in tents than for trailers. Campsite #35 is our favorite because it is shaded by the trees almost all day and has lots of clear space for tents, hammocks and lounging. It is a double campsite, made for 2 families, and carries a double fee. Any more than 2 vehicles incur an fee of $9. Another reason we like this campsite is it is close to restrooms with flush toilets. Some of the toilet facilities in Redman Campground are the old fashioned outhouse style. NO DOGS are allowed in Big Cottonwood Canyon because its part of the watershed for the Salt Lake valley. This means you are not to touch or play in any streams or waterways. No hands or feet in the water.

Started with an email notification that said water was down at the campground. I emailed back, to ask if this was the bathroom, or just culinary water. Only got an email back confirming that water was down, but said nothing about bathrooms. We were traveling with elderly family, and only rented here because of said bathrooms. Emailed again asking if bathrooms were down and about cancellation policy due to no water, and received zero response. Because we had no idea if we would get money back, we ended up keeping the reservation, with an RV to accommodate family. This campground IS NOT RV friendly. I would NEVER take an RV through the loop; it is uneven, narrow roads, with zero room to backup. On top of all of this, had people show up 11 p.m., yelling, hollering at incoming cars, taking loudly, then leaving around 4 a.m. Probability would be: people showing up after closing, and leaving before opening, KNOWING no one patroled the area. Nobody came around to kick them out, or tell them to be quiet. Woke EVERYONE up at several surrounding camps. Someone from a camp went and told them to keep it down, but it didnt stop. Next morning, kids hadn't slept and crying; adults were irritable from not sleeping as well. Terrible experience. Where were the camp hosts, or someone to make sure people weren't being belligerent, from what I assumed drunk? To continue with this way less than stellar experience, the next day on the other end of the campground, someone had loud speakers and played loud music all day. I love music, but the fact that we could hear it from one site of the campground to the other was a bit much. I will try to upload a video that will have people from our campground, and from the other playing music. Will never stay here again. Zero stars. Would NOT recommend. Worst campground we have ever stayed at. WORST.

Well, reading the previous person’s review (from last week), I lol’Ed. Anyway, the 5 of us with 2 kids stayed here and the couple who booked it had rebooked it from last year. We all agreed that this is a very nice campsite. Large trees. Large covering. 80 degrees in the day (of June) and 50s at night. We were the louder ones with kids running around at 8:30pm and 9:30am. There was a running stream that was DRY so that sucked. Other camp sites have huge boulders so look around (I think #42). We stayed at #35(?) that could fit 8 tents with decent space. For the 3 tents we had, awesome space and quietness. We cooked and grilled. The water was running at the toilet site but there is no running water at each camp site. On the plus side, there’s 5G. lol. I guess technology has caught up after 2 decades of trying. So for a campsite 13 miles from the house of Salt Lake, incredible.

Redman Campground is located in Big Cottonwood Canyon in between Solitude and Brighton ski resorts. It is a beautiful place to camp with many hiking trails nearby. We had site #789, which is a triple site and #8 was right next to the creek, which was very nice. There were many wildflowers and the site was full of plant life. There were moose in the campground that some of our friends saw. There is a bathroom with flush toilets and a sink with running water nearby, as well as a water spigot. The tables in the campground are old wooden tables and the benches were not very stable. The camp hosts, Diana and David, if memory serves me right, were very kind and helpful. The site is near the road and a bit of traffic can be heard at times. Overall, it is a nice campground and I would stay here again.

Stop looking for campsites and book this campground if there is a spot. But do us a favor and don't book because we want your spot. This campsite has more to offer then any other sites in Utah. Running Water. Flushing Toilets (some vaulted), Huge trees, a river, large mountain rocks, large spaces, many sites are not close to other sites, huge group sites that can pack tons and tons of people. Parking in most sites is decent. Lots of animals and a few moose that live in the area and often seen. No electrical hook ups or dumps Due to weather this location is colder and has a shorter season. Sometimes this campground has a postponed opening date and may close early. Possibly the best campsite in the Rocky Mountains if you are looking for a flushing toilet / and beautiful manicured site.
