Beautiful, well-maintained campgrounds. I reserved a space but found a first-come, first-served space I liked better in loop E and used that. There is no cell service in the campground (there is 2-3 bars of 3G at the ranger station) or most of the park, so download or print trail maps before you arrive. Park literature on trails is limited. Bring your hiking poles; the trails are rocky, and steep in places. The Indian Rockhouse and trail is amazing. I’m 60 and out of shape. It took me 3.25 hours with several short rest stops, but was worth the effort. Don’t miss the Ponca area trails on the west end of the park, or the old mining camp at Tyler Bend on Panther Creek. The Buffalo Point Overlook trail from the upper parking lot was relatively easy with a beautiful place for a picnic lunch. The spring woodland wildflowers were stunning. I did not do anything on the river, so 4-5 days was enough to see the area.

This is the earliest in the spring we have ever camped here, great weather for hiking! We are always amazed at how quiet and relaxing it is, no matter how many campers there are. We have considered visiting other areas, but always return to Buffalo Point because we know we can count on a peaceful and beautiful experience! Side note: the bathrooms are always clean!

We were at the campground at the end of March. Amazing location fir hiking, lots of trees, beautiful streams along the way.
Don’t miss the Indian Rock House Trail where you’ll find a stunning cave that record human occupation for hundreds of years. Warning though, we encountered some senior citizens on the trail who were getting exhausted : there is significant elevation changes on that trail and it demands a sustained physical effort. Trail would also need better signage: sometimes, we were not sure exactly were to go and what the official trail was, since multiple trails were being visible.
On the campground, toilets were functional, but not the showers, due to COVID. The hand dryer was not working. The showers were looking old, rusty and dirty, definitely due for a renovation.
Overall excellent experience.

April was a perfect time to enjoy the river (redbuds, peace and quiet). The campground was a perfect place to relax post floating. Thanks for maintaining a perfect spot to camp!
