Always great!

@EdM4125655 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #E2

Very nice park with light traffic. Trails are good, some require a short drive. Be aware you are in Bear country and poisons snakes are around.

@JeramieS54CB18 · Camped on Sep 4, 2024 at Campsite #A21

Amazing place, AMAZING staff. Dark skies to view amazing stars and amazing meteor showers. Clean bathrooms and convenient ice & firewood.Please don't change anything. We will be back!

@ADRIANC96E95F7 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #D28

Friendly staff and everything was in great shape.

@JrC0D7B708C274 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #D35

We loved Bandy Creek! Very well maintenanced!The only issue we had was with our water hose kept popping off. Ours kids in the next site did as well. Not sure if it's pressure issue or what.And we loved the pool, just needed an umbrella for shade lol.Other than that, A+

@CliffordH86605 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #D43

The campsite at Bands Creek were lovely. We chose Bandy Creek because we ride bikes and they list many trails . There are many trails, but they are treacherous and impassable. Many trails had huge rocks on them and sections washed away. Walking on the trails was dangerous because of the rocks and tree stumps.

@CharlesF1B0FB5 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #A47

It is too expensive for tent camping. I have paid around the same for low end AIRBNB. Which had air conditioning and private shower and bath. Otherwise the place was phenomenal. Clean, inviting, well maintained, and just a good all around stay.

@CherylC6330808 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #C16

Without a doubt the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area is an outdoors persons heaven. Hiking, mtn biking, horseback trails, fishing & all around beauty makes this park a must see if visiting Tennessee.

@SteveB4787856 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #B8

Always ana enjoyable place to camp and hike. I don't think there is a bad hike in the Big South Fork Recreation Area.

@JasonFAE7A6F1A · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #D15

It is a great place for hiking and mountain biking trails are well maintained

@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #C31

Love Bandy Creek! Bathrooms are clean! The workers are so friendly and helpful! I really like that the most campsites are shaded and large enough to feel comfortable. (not sitting on top of your neighbor) I really like the programs they have. We will finish our camping year over Labor Day weekend. Looking forward to being back at Bandy Creek for 5 nights.

@SeanM2349912 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #A39

Great campground. Very clean with really nice facilities. Shower and restroom "houses" were large, clean and showers had hot water. Also liked the outside sink area to wash dishes. Well maintained with nice visitor's center. Park officials were knowledgeable and very helpful in giving insight into places to visit in the park. Trail system was in great condition for hiking or mountain bike riding. Plenty of gravel roads in the area to get you to spots to hike or ride. The Cumberland River overlook trail offers nice views. A visit to the twin arches is a must!

@RobertW9AA4CB2 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #D14

Sites were great. Lots of room. Well taking care of.

@ChicoOB27778C8 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #A37

Sites had enough space between that we had privacy. Clean restrooms and even showers with hot water. Rangers we interacted were kind and helpful. The swimming pool was nice too, but limited hours and we had to pay extra small fee to use the pool. We would camp here again.

@quentonl9A8C36 · Camped on Jul 6, 2024 at Campsite #D40

Beautiful, well maintained good atmosphere love camping here!

@kentc8950725 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #C6

Easy to find with spacious camp sites. Rangers were friendly and helpful

@VeronicaB6C670 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #A13

From the campsites, bathhouses, and excellent service at the kiosk, I have highly recommended BSF camping! Well be back for sure! The information on bears was helpful and I truly feel everyone abides because we saw no signs while here. The food storage lockers and cooking fire pit were great too! Im very impressed by your maintenance staff. They do an excellent job keeping the amenities clean and garbage cans empty.

@DavidC2858387 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #C30

I didn't get the campsite I was wanting, the website said there was only 3 campsites available for my dates. When we arrived and stayed our three days, we noticed that there were only about a dozen other campers. Only four campers in C loop. When we left, the campground was still not filling up. But I've been to Bandy Creek a lot, and only have been disappointed one time. Bandy Creek has always been excellent campground. Did see a momma bear and two cubs on the gravel part of Bandy Creek Rd., first time seeing bears in over 25 years of visiting.

@JeffreyM593003 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #C24

Loved it

@JaniceT11BF6C4 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #D47

Nice park to ride bikes

@JeffreyG774093 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #A27

Great campground and nice people!

@GregW2511215 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #C20

Enjoyed trip to Bandy Creek. Restrooms and bath houses were well kept. Park Rangers were very friendly and helpful.

@RangaRD867C511 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #D25

This is a great campground with excellent facilities, including bath houses with hot showers, a visitors center close by and a camp store for supplies. Most sites are at least partially wooded with good spacing between sites. We stayed in D25 and we loved it. We were tent-camping and the water/electric hookups were very useful. This is why we stayed on the RV-side and not on the tent-only loop A. We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this campground.

@LieslL45F11831 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #A37

This is a lovely campground. The views are standard forest views and the campsites aren't huge - at least the part that's level enough for a tent, but the spacing is good for privacy and the bathrooms are among the best I've seen in a campground. They are large and airy and well-lit with natural light, with two showers for women and another two for men. The location was quiet and peaceful.One odd note: the campground is across the road from the visitors' center, and the two are in different time zones. My phone kept changing time zones so I found myself leaning on my old-style analog watch to keep track of the time.

@ShannonP288F4C · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #C19

Great campground! Very clean and well kept. Staff extremely friendly.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
