Host Mr. Stephens and Ranger Gidget were very helpful and kind. we stayed 6 nights at loop D. It was very hot(August), the river was low but flotable. We floated the 4.6 trip using Wild Bills outfitters. Only had to drag the kayaks once for about 50 yards. Next day hiked the Indian Rock House trail loop. Lots of fun but was hot. The Natural Bathtub was a nice respite. Also went to Blanchard Springs Cavern. The only issue was that the shower house was not cleaned very well before we left. Met several campers in the area and all were friendly. Cant wait to go again next spring.

This is a great area to view the dark sky. The park is clean, shady and was quiet.

Great site with views of the river and good privacy. A little difficult to park trailer and I'm guessing 24 ft limit but shorter is better. Love this place.

The facilities are nice and well maintained. Staff was very friendly. The only negative I found was that there is not a hydrant to use to flush your black water tank at the dump station.

Lots of animals at night, make sure to close everything and if possible place them in the car.
Didn’t get to explore the river, got to the place late at night, so guys in an electric bikes where asking if we saw a white dodge ram that needed help, I hope they were able to find and help them. Hope when you get a reservation, that you get a nice neighbor, she offered me firewood, in return I gave her some bacon, I hope she liked it. The water valve, was cool, it reminded me of how it was back in the days.
If your coming to this campground make sure to download some TikToks, cuz there is no service on this campsite

I loved it so much the first time I visited (with a friend), I had to come back and bring my family. It will be at the top of our list of favorite campgrounds.
Our site, C48, was perfect. Shade, able to view the river between the trees, and a little trail down to the river. We loved it.

The views and being in nature was fantastic. The hosts were present but did not interact with them at all. The bathrooms at the campground could use some love. None of the sinks worked at the day use area. The lights didn't come on inside when we went into it right at dusk. I chose not to use the facilities after that and just use my camper for everything. I've been to way nicer and cleaner. The overall campground was clean, free of trash. North Toledo Bend State Park will spoil you. They have air conditioned bathroom facilities and they blow off your campsite area before your arrival. Not necessary but a noticeable nice gesture. July was so hot and the water was warm most of our trip until the end. We loved the view, the river, floating, and relaxing. It was a great get away from every day busy life. Would I return? Honestly, no. I would choose to go other places and see what else is out there.

We have been to Buffalo point campground twice now once in April, when the river was too high to float so we took a couple of hikes, which were excellent, the second time in late July and it was extremely hot. The river was also very warm So it hardly cooled you off from the heat. As far as the campground goes, it is an excellent place to camp for both tent and r v camping. We have a 25' travel trailer and our space d fifty nine was perfect. Pay attention to the size of the camping space. When booking your trip for there are several different sizes and Some camping spaces are not level or friendly to set up .
