About Red Bluff Campground
Overview
Red Bluff Campground is named for towering red bluffs along Huzzah Creek, carved by the elements over the past 10,000 years. The area used to be home to timber mills, but now provides a serene spot for camping and enjoying nature.
Early settlement of the area surrounded the Boyer Mill constructed around 1830. Railroads created a thriving timber industry till the supply was depleted. The land was purchased by the U.S. Forest Service in 1940 and has been used as a recreation area.
Red Bluff is located in the Potosi-Fredericktown Ranger District of the Mark Twain National Forest. Large, red bluffs on the opposite side of Huzzah Creek, gravel bars along the creek, a mixture of pools and riffles and natural vegetation provide a backdrop for a very relaxing camping experience. Wading and swimming in Huzzah Creek are enjoyed by visitors. The water can be swift-moving at times and rocks and drop-offs are not marked. Fishing is also popular in the area and anglers can expect to find bass, sunfish, suckers, and catfish.
Three new camping loops were constructed above the Huzzah Creek floodplain – Ridge Top Loop, Creek Loop, and Group Loop - each of which have modern restrooms, water, and electricity on 2023.
A new shower house, a dump station, and second pavilion were also added for visitor convenience. Camping spurs are variable in size and layout to accommodate recreational vehicles and trailers of all types.
A fourth camping loop, Pines Overlook, was renovated but remains a non-electric loop.
Recreation
Many sites are within 200 yards of Huzzah Creek, where tubing and swimming are enjoyed by visitors. The water can be swift-moving at times and rocks and drop-offs are not marked. Fishing is also popular in the area and anglers can expect to find bass, perch and catfish.
The Red Bluff Trail lies within the boundaries of the campground. It is a 1.2-mile loop that winds through a pine plantation and big oak timber, into an adjoining hollow before returning to the campground. The short trail provides an opportunity for visitors to enjoy a variety of ecological communities, while reaping the benefits of a half-hour of hiking.
Facilities
The campground offers several large sites available for tent and RV camping. All campground loops offer 30 amp & 50 amp pedestals, except for Pines Overlook (PO). Individual picnic sites are available as well, some of which have shelters. Two accessible group picnic shelters can be reserved and can accommodate up to 74 people (PAV 1 has electric and lighting). Additional sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, lantern post and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets, flush toilets, showers and drinking water are provided. The roads within the campground are paved.

FAQ
How do I get a reservation at Red Bluff Campground?
Campsite Sniper's current snapshot shows none of the 620 tracked site-dates open for online reservation at Red Bluff Campground. That can mean dates are reserved, closed, not yet released, or offered first-come, first-served rather than online. Campsite Sniper has also detected 43 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site or unit on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.
Does Campsite Sniper book this facility for me?
No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.
How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 16:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.
How often do new openings appear at Red Bluff Campground?
Campsite Sniper detected 43 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.
Which sites at Red Bluff Campground fit a 35-foot RV?
58 of the 60 sites that support RV analysis have a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 60 ft. 59 of those 60 sites have a recorded maximum length and 1 does not; it is not counted as fitting.
When is the next open date at Red Bluff Campground?
Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot. The availability data held for Red Bluff Campground begins Apr 24, 2027 — about 173 days after this snapshot was taken, so any earlier dates are outside what Campsite Sniper is tracking here rather than known to be unavailable. Check Recreation.gov for dates before Apr 24, 2027.
