Redman Creek Recreation Area

Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers

New listing

Redman Creek offers a variety of recreational opportunities for every visitor. This large park is an ideal place for just a day visit or an extended stay, with 109 full-service campsites across the Redman East and West campgrounds, each loop with a playground and shower house, plus six non-electric boat-in island campsites. As of 2025, recent campground improvements at Redman East include newly paved campsites which include a picnic table, lantern post and fire pit. The full-service sites have 50-amp electric, water and sewer hookups. The day-use portion of Redman Creek includes the visitor center, 17 picnic sites and four reservable group shelters, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, horseshoe pits, a sand volleyball court and a playground, all available year-round. An accessible fishing pier, a 4-lane boat ramp with courtesy dock and a seasonal swimming beach provide a multitude of water recreation opportunities. Enjoy the scenic view along the Lake View Trail — this multi-use trail is a hiker, biker or walker's dream. Beginning at Redman East Campground, it connects the entire Wappapello Dam area, featuring multiple trailheads with unique landscapes. Wappapello Lake can be a boater's paradise with a string of secluded coves, islands and wooded shorelines. Hunting, fishing and kayaking are popular year-round, and hiking and biking on one of the lake's 9 trail systems provides opportunities for all ages and abilities. Shell Lake Archery Trail is a unique destination for archery enthusiasts. Wappapello Lake is fed by the St. Francis River and boasts 8,400 acres on a whopping 45,000-acre expanse of public land in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Explore the nearby Pine Ridge Nature Trail, Shell Lake Archery Trail, and Wappapello Wildflower Trail and greenhouse areas, or the St. Francis River. The Mingo Wildlife Refuge is approximately 11.6 miles from Redman Creek, Lake Wappapello State Park is approximately 17 miles away, and Sam A. Baker State Park is 34 miles away.
