Bandits Roost

There’s no longer a gatehouse attendant on duty until 3:00 PM. The campground is much less secure now with the gate code so easily broadcasted. There was a late night attempt to steal our expensive bikes right from our campsite around 2:00 AM but a double lock cable spoiled their attempt. Drive thru traffic was very high volume compared to past seasons. And the dogs. My goodness we could have just camped next to our local humane society and listened to constant dogs barking.
The contract maintenance crews are still tearing up more than they fix with equipment and their quality of maintenance is very poor. Still using huge ABC stone on the campsites instead of 78M which is much more suitable and doesn’t splash rock screenings all over your rig in heavy rains.
There was a fallen tree blocking the path to the amphitheater the entire time we were there. Again a terrible lack of competent maintenance.

We’ve been camping at Bandits Roost for about 10 years, once or twice every year. We were disappointed on this trip with the following: there was trash on our campsite when we arrived, there was no liquid soup in the dispenser in the Ladies room on loop B until Sunday (although I complained about it to the staff at the kiosk on Friday afternoon) and the trash dumpster on Loop B was overflowing with trash stacked up on Friday morning ahead of a busy weekend. The trash dumpster was filled even higher on Sunday afternoon when we left.

I'm just not sure I agree on the new more laid-back processes at the gate. In the past I felt really secure while in the campground but now there was one time that the gate was staying open during the day. Not sure what is going on?

I like this place but the recent change of the gate house being closed for days at a time is not a good thing. I hope it's only temporary. There needs to be someone who attempts to enforce the campground rules there as the park rangers who sometimes drive through don't do anything.
