The campground was nice and maintained! We really enjoyed out experience and cannot wait to come again! The bathrooms were heated and had showers. We went and hiked at big south fork and had a ball and saw some bears!

Bandy Creek is the best campground I have stayed at. We love it there. Have been staying there for over 20 years. Had to leave early because of a sick pet. They sent me part of my $ back.

When I arrived at Bandy Creek I was amazed at how clean everything was. The campsites, the grounds, and especially the BATHROOMS! These are the cleanest, largest bathroom and shower houses I have seen in a very long time. It was quiet and the spots were large.

I love camping here! Every sight is fairly secluded and its such a big campground, there's plenty of room to spread out. The bath houses are always in pristine condition. I love how dark it gets as the lights are kept low at night. Perfect for star gazing.

Flies, Flies, Flies! We had to go home on the first day because we were swarmed by flies.

I was staying there as I was helping with the AERC Endurance ride that was taking place about a half mile down the road. I have camped at Bandy before, but had never camped in the tent area. I was very quiet and clean. Used the shower the next morning and as always the bathroom was extremely clean. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to camp and as a bonus it is right in the middle of one of the most beautiful places to explore.
