Nice level sites, bathrooms could have been cleaner but not awful. Quiet and rangers were very friendly.

It had been a while since we had stayed here and we had forgot which site is our favorite. We were in C-1 but after arriving we remembered it was C-2 and C-3 that we liked the best.
Overall the only complaint is the 3 C sites do NOT have the stand alone charcoal grills, only the fire pit grills.

Pendleton Bend is a fantastic park. Wide level sites well spaced and very very clean. Three premium sites overlooking the Arkansas River are really outstanding but the rest of the sites are very nice. A little bit challenging to get to but well worth the effort.

Large and nicely spaced sites. Lack of signs for direction into campground and around the loops makes arriving in a large motorhome challenging.
