Bandy Creek

Needs updating

What a fantastic place to tent camp. Plus , with the pool, bathhouses on site(with hot water) and always felt safe. The rangers were always driving by just to make sure that everything was good. It is a hop skip and a jump away from a Walmart just in the case of major needs, if not there is a camp store onsite by the visitor center that has pretty much what ever need a person might have, toiletries, food items, ice cream, and several choices of alcohol if you just wanted to have a cold one. There is firewood and ice available for purchase 24 hours a day. The firewood is in $10 and $20 bundles. The trails that are around the campground are very well maintained. Great for an overnighter to an all week long trip.

We've been here many times and it's always a great camping experience. Sites are clean and mostly wooded with power and water. Mobile phone service is weak.

Very kind and helpful staff. Super well maintained camping areas, and clean showers/bathrooms. Really nice walking trails with a variety of cool landscapes to check out.

Big South Fork NRRA in general, and Bandy Creek Campground, in particular is one of our favorite places to visit. Over the last 20 years we have spent more of our outdoor nights in Big South Fork than anywhere else. Big South Fork never disappoints, but this year it seems to be in absolutely spectacular condition. Trails, roads, and campground. Bandy Creek has the best showers in the entire Federal system. The bath houses are always clean and supplied with paper and hand soap. The water is hot and the shower heads are excellent. The leadership and team are to be commended for their hard work preserving this spectacular area!!!

Very nice! Great campground facilities were kept clean tables in a loop have been redone

Huge, magnificent park with great well-maintained trail system. Camp sites are good-sized, many with shade. 1-2 bars Verizon. One local network of OTA tv. Ranger programs and Visitor Center are informative.
It was disappointing that camp regulations were not monitored and enforced. Vehicles were parked on grass/ natural areas. Both sides of my site had deep ruts caused by vehicles that held rain water for my two week stay. Also many sites had more vehicles than allowed. Not enforcing regulations is degrading the natural habitat of this special area.

I switched my reservation to a separate date due to poor weather concerns in the area. There was an error in their system and apparently the modification was not confirmed on their end, so I was charged $140 for a campsite I did not visit & a trip I did not make. Request for a refund was denied. I had higher hopes.

This was our second time to Bandy creek we live in Oh. We come to see our grandson who lives in TN. Clean restrooms, clean park. The staff were always helpful. Ranger Russ remembered us from our last visit and welcomed us back.

Nice campground with random vegetation between sites, has one loop for just tent camping and 3 loops for Rv's and tents with electric and water. Restrooms and showers were kept very clean, you also have a camp store close by.
