Beautiful campground and park. Lots of different hiking options of varying lengths and ability. Definitely want to come back here again, so much to see and do in the area.

We love Bandy Creek and thoroughly enjoyed taking our boys there! The bathhouses are clean and the warm shower is very welcoming after a long day of hiking. The facility feels safe.

Beautiful place. Camping was perfect. The visitor center was staffed by cheerful people. The general store was well stocked for essential products or treats. The checking in station ranger obviously loved her job and meeting people. And Lastly but at the top of the list was the campground staff on duty. He and daughter was there welcoming people and checking in on them frequently as they themselves camped on site. I had mentioned that we had forgotten shampoo and a few minutes later, they brought several shampoo options. I had just ran to the onsite store to buy some, but the offer was kind and genuine! I would recommend this spot just for them if it came down to it but everything else was so well kept, it all was a great experience. Plus, you dont have to leave your camp ground to hike, shop, feel like a community, or be completely alone. Fantastic!!!

It’s a very quiet campground with spacious sites. The bathroom is very clean and they have showers. We stayed in the D Loop and I have my three dogs with me and they had a great time. Great place to camp. Not busy in August

Basically self serve campground. They do go around making sure you put your food up. The black bears are pretty active in the area. Great little campground with pretty nice bathrooms and areas for you to wash your dishes. They have a pool that closes at like 7. Check the website for more accurate time. That was disappointing. Bunch of hiking from the campground. Nice area and nice campground!

Great place to camp. Clean bath house and campsite. Campsite is very spacious and plenty of room between campsites as well. A little warning ⚠️ though; they will impound your coolers if left unattended because of bears. They didn't want them to be a problem and the park rangers patrol the camping area regularly, too.

My go to spot for exploring Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. Plenty of trails for hiking, biking and horseback adventures. The visitors center is great, along with the camp store. The restrooms are always nice and clean, with showers and are heated.

Very nice well kept campground. It was pretty empty when I stayed since it's off-season, but the bathrooms were clean, the showers were hot, and everything seemed very very well maintained. The sites are pretty well spread out, with nice parking pads, fire rings, tables...etc. No big roads close by, so it's a nice and quiet setting at night. There is also just enough cell service to make a reservation right on site, which makes things easy if you arrive without planning ahead.
