Bandy Creek is always beautiful, clean, and well organized. We use the stables for our horses, which I love. The trails are right here, and you can ride or hike as far as you like. We come every year.

Bandy Creek was an excellent campground to stay at!! All of the campsites have level ground for tent camping and that's something my group really appreciated! The bathrooms were clean and the campground was peaceful and quiet. The pool was open anytime it could be even with the extreme rain memeorial day weekend. Everyone was also extremely kind and knowledgeable when we encountered staff anywhere around the park. The trails are clearly marker and everything is amazing from start to finish. Thank you Bandy Creek I will be staying again!

This group camp was really great. Plenty large enough for us and we loved the fire pit area and openess to having the kids ride the private circle constantly on their bikes. Having a big centralized covered/screened in cooking / eating / picnic table area with grills and fireplace as well as a central bathroom (both mens and womens), with multiple stalls and showers, etc. really highlighted that we should've brought a lot more folks with us to fully utilize it. Proximity to driving down to soak in the big south fork was great, and maybe next time we'll come after the pool has opened up for the season.
