    Excellent prime rib/salad and soup bar. Strong drinks and great staff. Great little resort, we stayed in one of the trailers. Very spacious with a full kitchen. Will be back again for some more fishing, prime rib, and the hospitality.

    Red Banks Resort - Criminal complaint in Winnebago County against the owner Bob

    if I could give it zero stars, I will currently there is a criminal complaint being investigated…read morethe owner and his son and another bar patron decided to assault my husband and put him in the hospital last Saturday night. Then another one of them came back and assaulted me and gave me a blackeye and took a fire ring and threw it at my husband's truck. Any person that wants to stay look up the owner before you do because there's another criminal complaint against him for battery in the past. If you want to keep yourself in your family safe don't go there. Don't stay there. Don't eat there don't do anything there. Look at other reviews they're trying to sell the place and at the rate they're going. They're probably gonna lose it from being sued by people getting assaulted.

    I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.The staff is extremely rude and completely…read moreunprofessional. Long story short: we arrived to launch our boat and were immediately greeted by an incredibly rude man who asked, "What do you need?" He then continued to speak to me like I was trash, as if I had no clue how to park a trailer. I remained respectful the entire time, but it almost seemed like he got angrier because I wouldn't argue back. he eventually told me to "get the f*** out." At first, I thought maybe he was just having a rough morning since we arrived around 6:30 a.m., but several other people nearby confirmed that he's always like that. Neither I nor any of my friends will ever spend a dime here again. I highly recommend finding another place -- one that actually values your business and treats you with basic respect.

The river entrance is just a short bus ride from the campsite and ends at the same spot! A little pricey BUT with unlimited floats (same day only) it more than makes up for that.

    This was my 4th time coming here to tube and my first time camping here. This was the most…read moreexpensive campsite I have ever stayed in and it was not worth the money. The campsites have no privacy and are on top of each other. The septic truck started servicing the area at 7am Saturday morning and was extremely loud. It sounded like a tornado warning alarm. They have a 2 night minimum for camping at about $60/night so our total trip cost was $137 after fees and such. It was so loud. The river tubing line got so backed up in went to the river and back around. They raised the price to tube down the river to $26/person + a cooler tube. I might come back for a day trip, but certainly wouldn't return to camp here, too expensive for the noise and lack of privacy. The campfire doesn't have a grate, our fire pit had batteries in it upon arrival, before starting a fire we thought we had taken all the batteries out, only to start our fire and experience one explode which was very scary.

    I came here for the first time with my extended family last weekend and have really mixed feelings…read moreabout our stay. The good: staff was friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive. Our campsite was nice and we had a nice view of Bear Lake. The main restrooms were cleaned constantly throughout the day and were well stocked. There's a nice big playground in the middle of the campground that my niece just loved. There were a lot of families there and I get the sense that this could be a place where people just love to come; it certainly seemed that way based off how many people had seasonal sites super decked out. The cons: The sites are all identified with their numbers, but I think they could be a little more clear. Both myself and my in-laws accidently set up in the wrong sites because of the way that we were instructed to drive in; the identification markers were after where our site was. So we had to be one spot over from where we were, but we actually both accidently set up in the sites just after where we should have been. It really wasn't a big deal and clearly it was our own fault, but it could have been more clear. We were excited to maybe play on the mini-golf course, but there was a lot of debris on the greens and the grass all around it really needed to be cut. The decorations around the grounds too look like they could use some TLC. We checked out the (tiny, super tiny) sandy beach area and thought it could have been cleaned up a bit. We went down right away one morning and found garbage on the ground & random dirty beach towels where towels don't belong. Later in the afternoon when we went back down there to see what was going on we saw the same pieces of garbage and towels in the same spots. We thought surely by then someone from the staff would have come cleaned it up. We were looking forward to getting in the water and possibly renting some of the water equipment they had at the campground (which would have been so nice), but we heard from several people there was swimmers itch in the water. What a letdown! Not the campgrounds fault at all, but our experience was less than what it could have been. I think this place has potential to be really fantastic, just needs a little more TLC.

    Overall it's a nice campground. However do not expect to bring your drinks and snacks to the beach…read morefor a beach day. Not only will you need to buy to stock your camper for your stay you are also EXPECTED to buy drinks/food from the bar/camp store/tiki bar. So whatever you plan on having for a budget double it or don't go swimming and enjoy your day. Coolers, drinks, food, ect not allowed unless purchased from the campground themselves. $8 for a cheeseburger and $65/night for camping.
