A very beautiful campground. Clean and very roomy restrooms, each rest room building also comes with a spacious dishwashing station. Sites are leveled and well shaded. Staff at visitor center are super helpful. Good WiFi at the visitor center. Phone signals are good enough to make calls and texts at campground. Great hiking trails nearby!

Campsites are spacious and have privacy between each one. The bathhouses are especially clean with LOADS of hot water and great water pressure! The camp store and visitor center are a BONUS and we enjoyed spending time learning about the area from the park ranger! The hike to the Twin Arches was a highlight -- absolutely gorgeous. We will go back!

Very nice campground.
Shower house is clean and well kept.
If hooking water to a camper you have to tie the handle down for it to work. I guess the hydrant’s are broken.

We love Bandy Creek for camping and for hiking. Be sure to hike Angel Falls Trail and Leatherwood Ford Overlook Trail. Both are pretty easy. If you want more of a challenge then go for Honey Creek Trail.

We had a wonderful time at Bandy Creek Campground! There are many sights to see within a short drive and lots of trails to explore. Three of our favorite sights in the nearby area were Blue Heron Mining Community, Yahoo Falls with it’s massive rock shelter, & the Twin Arches, which are an incredible sight. We had problems with our toilet in our trailer & had to keep our water shut off a good portion of the time, so I was very pleased to find the restroom/bath house was very clean and heated! (The morning temperatures were in the 40°s.) Seven other couples from our church camped with us and we all agreed we had a wonderful experience at Bandy and hope to come back again. (We live in southwest Tennessee, outside of Memphis.)
