The Campground was busy but still peaceful, bathrooms were fine. Our site wasn't level, it took a bit to get the front end up enough.

I love this park! There is nothing better than going hiking from your camp site. The choices of outdoor fun is second to none.

Bandy Creek is a wonderful location for camping if you like hiking or horseback riding. The network of trails throughout the park is tremendous.

First of all, the campground at Bandy Creek was very clean. The bathrooms were cleaned and scrubbed every day, and the employees were very pleasant. The scenery was spectacular. The hikes are relatively short, but offer a lot of natural beauty. We hiked the Twin Arches Trail, Angel Falls Trail, Slave Falls Trail (and out to Needle Arch Overlook), and some trails at Pickett CCC Memorial State Park nearby. The trails and signage were well-maintained. I would recommend downloading the NPS app as you can access a trail map for any National Park property. It shows you where you are on the trail as you hike. It works when your phone is in airplane mode so you can preserve your phone battery out on the trail.
