Had an awesome, relaxing time at Buffalo Point. Went there with a group of kayakers and paddled the Buffalo for four days. Beautiful water. Campground was very nice with wonderful campsites. Very clean and level. Facilities were in spotless condition. Local hikes were strenuos, but rewarding. My only complaints were the campsites were very close together and the proliferation throughout the campground of very bright LED boundary lights. My neighbor left theirs on ALL NIGHT and made it look like daylight. I did discuss this with the park ranger and he agreed it is getting much worse, but at this point there are no illumination regulations, only sound.

We have been to Buffalo Point for several years now for our church retreat our church is Searcy First Assembly ofGod in Searcy Ar. My only negative is there’s no sewer hook ups. We usually come early and/or stay late and we have a 45 ft motorhome.if you could have septic it would be perfect. Other than that we love our stay with you.

Lovely campground and activities. We stayed busy the entire time we were there. The trails are short and are not challenging in any way, making it a great stay for beginning hiker or beginning camper. I took my dog as well, and the trails were lovely for us both (on leash). The office allowed me to check in there before and after hikes so that someone knew where I was. Loved the stay!

Have stayed here many times but first time in C loop. The entire loop along with D loop were just about all full. A and E loop, the non-reservable areas, hardly had anyone in them. Think next time we'll take our chances and try to stay in one of those loops. Site was nice, right along the river and shaded. The Buffalo River area can't be beat for scenery and know we'll visit there many times to come. Would be nice if campground had sewer hookups but not a big issue. Although, if you're going to stay for an extended period, the dump station being about a mile away could be an issue. And it's a one at a time use so if leaving on Sunday, like we did, it's possible you'll be waiting in line for a while.
