The campsites are great because there is plenty of room between each site. The bathrooms are clean and the endless hot water in the showers is key to survival. As always, Bandy Creek is awesome. Thanks for all of the heard work y'all do to keep it nice.

We were super impressed by the cleanliness of the shower/toilet facilities.
The ranger staff were very helpful.
The park was being well attended to while there. The whole experience was outstanding.
Yahoo falls is a must see.

The employees at the visitor center were very helpful with our request for maps for hiking trails. There were some excellent trails and were hoping to come back to get to the ones we missed. The restrooms/bathhouses were clean and well supplied. We had a cold visit, so they were warm, too.

Very clean, well kept in all regards. Fairly spacious sites, most are very level. Not intended for the biggest of rigs; beware that US297 coming in from Oneida involves several 10 mph switchback curves and big rigs get hung up often. Come in from the west if your rig is long. Beautiful area around the campground. We will return. Be aware that there is only 1 dump station.

Appreciate the level sites and no street lights. Definitely a place to go and see the stars.

We stayed at Bandy Creek with our horses. It appears there was a time when guests with horses may have had a bigger impact on the campground. The stables are separated from the campgrounds and require separate reservations. The camp store is located within the horse "area", but was not open on regular business hours. When open, the store staff was quite friendly. WiFi was available on the porch at the store. The maps in the store provided for horse trails should be updated/improved. We were 12 miles into a ride and hit our next trail shown on the map. This trail was no longer open to horses. We had few choices, but did not want to turn around and make this a 24 mile ride. After riding in numerous states and campgrounds, I am learning a rider needs to take responsibility for knowing where you are and how to respond on the trail. The camp site at Bandy Creek was very nice, a well maintained bathhouse was appreciated at the end of the day! Our truck and trailer measures 50'+ in length and this campground was not built for longer rigs. The septic dump was a tight radius and we had to go the entrance lane to exit the campground. We saw copperhead, coyote and bear. I would do it again! Thanks Bandy Creek

Campground was as expected. We camp here often. The Campground host was rarely at the campground. She did stop at our campsite just before dark and was not very hospitable. She lectured us on the rules on using a propane grill. We have known the rules for years and were not violating any.

The South Fork National Forest/Bandy Creek is an awesome place and appreciate everything about it. The camping is great. The people/rangers are very accommodating. The bath houses, camp sites, roads etc. are VERY well kept.
