Book a peaceful and beautiful site on a private creek. The Redwater Revival Campground joined Hipcamp and was open during the 2020 summer season. Herb met and accommodated many wonderful guests and had a blast doing it. The red bluff in the background was a very strategic vantage point for early Indigenous Americans for hunting game that roamed the creek bottom. The rest of this exciting story will have to be heard when you get here. The Redwater Creek is full of Brown and Rainbow trout. They are sneaky little buggers that can actually hear your footsteps when you are fishing along the bank. Please make sure that you stay with us for some very restful mesmerizing sleep along our part of the creek at the Redwater Revival Campground.

Camp Barlow was perfect! Nice area with plenty of space at each camp spot. Not your ordinary porta potty! Stocked with TP and paper towels and water was a nice surprise. Several deer came around, we heard turkeys in the area and in the early morning hour we were serenaded by a what I assume were coyotes. Felt safe and the view was beautiful.

Directions were very easy to follow and set up of campsites was logical and well spaced apart. We were the only ones there that night. Stayed at site 4. The toilet was a portable unit. Very clean. We got surprised that the water was turned off for the season but our host brought us water from his place which was plentiful. We recommend!

Car is parked at end closest to incoming lane. This is the first, but most private, site.

Beautiful landscape, peaceful sounds of nature, clear instructions from a host with good communication—what more could you ask for? We loved our stay and appreciate Herb sharing their beautiful land with us.

Lovely hipcamp! The sites were mowed and well maintained, nice little trails up the hills with pretty views, clean port-a-potty, and great location close to Devil’s Tower. Would definitely stay here again!

The beauty of the land around camp is what the memory for us is. It was peaceful and quiet and everything we look for in a remote spot.

We spent three nights in this beautiful Hipcamp and absolutely loved it. It’s quiet and feels remote, but only a short distance to Devil’s Tower. Highly recommended!

We loved this location. It was very private and quiet. We were the only ones there the first night. The second night, there was one other group and they were respectful, kind, and quiet. The stars were GORGEOUS! We saw a lot of birds. There is not much shade at the sites themselves which we expected and were prepared for. It did not bother us. The bathroom was clean. They provided firewood for us. The owners were kind and helpful. They reached out to let us know they would be mowing the grass before we arrived. Highly recommend to those who love to be in the quiet, remote nature, and who love to stargaze.

Quiet, peaceful spot with a beautiful view. Very close to Devil's Tower. Gravel road, we drove slowly and had no problems in a 2WD.

We stayed here for just one night so we would be close to Devil's Tower. There was only one other site occupied and we barely knew they were there. The sites are nicely spaced apart. Site C is fairly level front to back, but we had to use blocks to get it level side to side. It's also a little short but we just parked at an angle. Our trailer is 20 ft. and so is our truck. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful little spot!!! The creek behind camp was awesome, very peaceful and the water was super clear. Lots of wildlife including rabbits, birds, and deer wandered through. Also fireflies! You can just barely hear the freeway from camp but I was able to ignore the sounds pretty easily. Besides that the spot was very quiet and a great location. Would stay here again!

Wow this site is such a hidden gem! Absolutely stunning scenery and a very well kept small campground. For how close this is to Devils Tower, we were surprised to be the only campers there during summer camping season. Not that I’ll complain because we enjoyed the solitude and peace, and the space for our reactive dog. There is a well maintained port-a-potty, trash bins, water pump, and picnic tables at the sites. There are also mowed trails leading up the hills which we really enjoyed. Directions from the host were accurate and the site was easy to find. We would love to stay here again when we are next in the area!
