This place is AMAZING!

The front gate staff treated us like we were family. From the second we arrived, we felt welcomed.

The bathrooms and showers? They were so clean it didn't feel like we were at a campground. Ridiculously clean. Oddly enough it's been one of the things I've talked most about. Don't judge me.

The site we had was PERFECT! Very private, shaded where it mattered and sunny where it mattered. Level area for the tent. Fishing nearby. It was awesome!

My only warning is watch out for poison ivy. There was a LOT of it right at the edge of our site. But we watched our step, nobody made contact with it, and we loved every minute we were there!

We will definitely be back very soon.

Thank you to the volunteers who took that place. You guys are the best!

Stayed 4 nights in site 54. Nice site other than the debris left behind from the tree cutting. Why do they just pile it up by the site instead of hauling it away like they do for the non wooded sites. It looks terrible. Sites also should be cleaned between check out and check in. Why have to wait until 3 to check in if the sites aren't cleaned after the 11 check out? It's too bad campers leave behind their trash but it happens and should be cleaned up before new campers arrive.

Always a great stay at Bandits Roost. Very clean and well maintained property. Camp hosts were very friendly and attentive, however, the gate was only open limited days and hours. The gate is also broke at the entrance side allowing anyone to enter at anytime. We didn't notice the ranger as often as past visits. We were surprised at the number of kids riding bicycles without helmets and also golf carts riding around that are not allowed without a handicap placard. Tmobile cell service was great. One of our favorite campgrounds

Great wide roomy site. Showers are outdated in desperate need of updating. Simple task of cleaning out grills - mine was filled with ash and cigarette butts would be nice. I let them know and nothing was done so I had to clean myself. Light post was home to an active wasp nest. Quite area but close to shopping center
