Our family had a great experience at Bandy Creek Campground. It's in a beautiful area with a lot of activities, the campground is very clean, the sites are large and well laid out, everyone was kind, the pool is in great condition, and the bathhouse is clean.
We stayed as a two site group with a mix of tents and an RV. The sites accommodated the tents and RV perfectly. Flat, paved, and food storage boxes.
There is so much to do in this area, we've been here twice and feel as though we haven't even begun to discover all it has to offer. We can't wait to come back!

Very clean campground and bathrooms. No cell service!
We enjoyed a beautiful sunset at sunset trail and saw a moma bear with her two cubs a mile from the campground. Overall nice campground.

The campground was fine. The 4 star rating is due to the dangers of poison ivy and ticks everywhere. There should be some signs around the camping areas for people who don't know.
