If you like hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding, this is your place! So many trails to choose from with fantastic views and scenery.
There is also fishing, swimming, kayaking and canoeing (for experienced paddlers!). The beautiful pool is open on weekends, if you are not into creeks. Enough wildlife to make a hunter drool. This bear country, so plan accordingly. Tent sites have food safe boxes on them.

Awesome place to stay. They provide a bear box to store food. The tent pad is moss/packed gravel. The picnic table could use a cleaning or replacement of the boards. Seems like all of them are like that, except for the handicapped sites which have very nice table tops. This site is right next to the bathhouse which is cleaned often. A water pump is on both ends of the bathhouse. There is a nice camp store, and pool.

The campground itself was nice and everyone was super friendly.

Watch out for snakes though! I got bitten by a Cotten mouth snake on my way to the showers walking at the street. I had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance which caused me to have to cancel the remainder of my planned trip which was about 8 other campgrounds. My biggest gripe with recreation.gov is that they charged me a cancellation fee for each campground even after I got bitten by a snake on their (Bandy Creek) campground and for some nights no refund at all.

We saw lots of warnings about bears but barely any for snakes. The night before a 5-year old got bit by a snake at the same campground as well.
