Nice campgrounds, clean bathrooms. Rush Landing was a great place to just hang out and swim the day after our float trip. A 24/7 'Twice the Ice' was only a couple miles away and really made keeping coolers "ice cold" much easier and more convenient! We would definitely recommend Buffalo Point to others!

I lost my dog the first day there. She was tied up on her leash when I did a quick task and got spooked and bolted breaking the handle she was tied too and fled scared with her leash attached. I went to ask the campground host to help spread the word. The wife said “you know there’s predators out there that will get her” I thought this was a horrible comment to make to someone who just lost their pet family member. He rode by our site and the cooler had gotten knocked over and spilt all out food and drinks scattered around. We had not had time to pickup because we were out looking for her. Every minute counted. She had ran up through the woods and I was so worried her leash would get tangled up in the heavy woods. Later I was driving around and pulled off the ride going down to the river. Instead of leaving my Jeep at my site to save time. He put a warning on my Jeep about not parking there. I felt this was entirely in appropriate knowing that I was out desperately looking for my dog. I had words with him over it and he called the rangers on me and tried to act like I had trashed my campsite. I told him we had had NO time to clean up yet.! I have been camping at the Buffalo River for 55 years!!! Even before if was a National river. Never in that time have I ever encountered such a rude person. Especially someone who is suppose to be there to help the campers and be a good steward. It was a horrific upsetting situation that they made exponentially worse by there lack of compassion for our situation. My pup did not return that night. The next day a sweet ranger named Gidget I believe, spotted my dog Sydney and sat with her with water and treats until they could get a hold of me. THIS is how a true servant behaves. She was selfless in the heat to keep an watchful eye on her not approaching to make sure not to spook her again. I was reunited with Sydney because of her. We were suppose to be there a week, and left early

The park is nice as always, but needs some improvement, the fire rings are pretty worn out, also a ranger left a note saying to put our fires out before we leave and they poured water all over it. We hadn't had a fire since the night beforeand this was 2:30 the next afternoon when we left for the beach at 2. So wasn't sure what that was about. Also a holiday week/ weekend camping you think the grass between sites would have been cut. Otherwise we like the park and camp there yearly when we can get in.
