| Campground : |
There are several campsites in and on the edge of The Big South Fork. You can read about several of them in their individual listings on this website. Three horsemens' campgrounds are on the property of Big South Fork - Bandy Creek (main); Station Camp; and Bell (in KY). Bandy Creek is a Class A campground used by both horse people and non-horse people. Horses are required to be kept in stalls that are located accross the road (about 200 yards) from the campground.

| Directions: |
Bandy Creek is a challenge to get to (the riding is worth it though). Accessing Bandy Creek from the east (off I-75) through Oneida on 297 requires climbing a 13 degree slope with switchbacks, etc. Big rigs could have a problem unless you have plenty of power. An option is to come in from US 127 through Jamestown. From Jamestown, go east (north) on 154 then east on 297 to the camp.
