Bandy Creek

This was a beautiful campground and park. We hit it during peak color so the winding roads were that much more remarkable. We hiked the twin arches which is difficult to find. I could find the trail on Alltrails, but google won't find it so I had to just view the map until we made it. It was my favorite hike despite the rain. We also hiked the John Litton trail found along the road where there is dispersed camping. The dogs were in heaven. Not a super crowded park so it was ideal.

We have been visiting Bandy Creek campground for over 20 years. It is our favorite place to bring our horses and camp. The campsites and the bath houses are always clean. The rangers are very polite and welcome suggestions or repair requests. We will continue to visit for a long time to come.

Bandy Creek is always a wonderful place to camp. The campground is clean, well maintained, and very quiet!

The employees at the visitor center were very helpful with our request for maps for hiking trails. There were some excellent trails and we’re hoping to come back to get to the ones we missed. The restrooms/bathhouses were clean and well supplied. We had a cold visit, so they were warm, too.

Excellent camping facility. Making the reservation was a bit tricky,... trying to reserve two sites... it took some doing. However, we later canceled one of the sites and the camp manager was helpful.

The day hikes are great. And the stars at night amazing.

We had a wonderful time with our hiking club group at the park. But using this park was new to us and we were very disappointed with the interaction we had with park employees. When we first arrived, we went to the visitor's center. Because we had not been able to complete online reservations for a campsite with electrical hookups (we knew there were vacancies available), we asked for assistance direction to find what we might need. My husband was told there were no campsites with electrical hook-ups and no attempt made to offer assistance. Someone from out group campsite helped us find and go to the entry office for sites close to our group site. The gentleman manning the booth told us we would have to stand there in the parking area and place our reservations with our phone in order to book one of their many empty sites. After being bumped off the registration process numerous times, we finally booked a site, but only for 3 nights, not the four we were attempting to reserve. Sooo, after realizing how unwelcoming and unhelpful campground personnel were, we decided to only stay the 3 nights we had managed to reserve. And, of course, determined not to stay or recommend the campground in the future. It is a beautiful area and losing our "business" will be no great loss, but thank you for an opportunity to share our experience .

I would like for someone to tell me why the park spent thousands of dollars repaving the campground and did not extent the pavement to include the side of the road where larger vehicles/campers obviously have to be off the pavement to go around a curve. Not only that, but because of the new asphalt over the old, the drop off from the pavement can cause the vehicle to drag, potentially causing damage.

The campground is old and does not accommodate large vehicles very well, but this would have been a simple improvement if it had been made at the time the repaving was done.

If anyone can provide feedback I would appreciate it, but as usual, I think surveys go into a black hole.

Great facilities, clean, nice spaces. Table was a bit aged and dirty but otherwise excellent

Bandy Creek Campground has been one of our favorite campgrounds for over 25 years. The bathrooms are clean, the staff are always friendly and helpful. There are almost always plenty of level camping spots to choose from, including a pull-through buddy spot. The hiking and horseback riding trails are awesomely beautiful.
