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 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.

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.

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.

Stayed here with some girl friends at A34 and it was perfect. Campsites were nicely spaced out and spacious. We were just close enough to the bathroom for midnight bathroom runs but not too close because well, you know. Bathrooms were *heated*! With running water and showers. We ended up not having to actually check in but we had no problems with our campsites at all. Would definitely return and recommend!

Great campground and sites. Very clean bathrooms. The trails are stunningly beautiful. The camp store needs a more regular schedule, but I did see flyers that they have an RFP out for a new management concession there.
