We stayed at Bandits Roost on 09/11 & 12 and the hosts at check in were very friendly & helpful, they even had a highlighted map to get into the campground & to our site (#33). There were 4 or 5 site in our “cul de sac” off the main road through the campground, backing into our site was easy enough there was a 4-5 inch slope from front to back & had blocks under the rear duals to get us close to level. Our site backed right up to the lake, however, the tall weeds & brush kept us from going down to the shoreline from our site. Restrooms & shower area was just up the hill from our site and were clean. We had fairly good reception (3 bars) on cell phones (Verizon) but didn’t note the speed. Very quiet during overnights.

We loved this campground. Great for bike riding, quiet, huge lots. Basketball, disc golf, swimming, so much to do for everyone. Site 17 was a bit weird. Back in, then go downstairs to your camp spot, which was huge. But along our 40' motorhome was just like a 2' walk way to the stairs going down, which we had the bikes at the back, which backed up right to the site next to us so it was a little tight. That being said, the actual campsite with the fire ring area was huge, ig trees, right on the water. Really nice! We have Verizon and could text, without pics, but no actual internet service. Other reviews say Verizon is good, but maybe because we were in the trees?? We didn't get the Blackstone out because it's the 22" and too heavy for the hubs to carry down the stairs, so we used the Ninja Speedi all weekend. We liked it so much we booked another stay already!
