This is a jewel of a park. Used it as our home base for floating the upper Buffalo River and fishing on the White River. We drove up to the restaurant, hoping to buy some ice. Seems like they’re renovating it, but while we were there, we discovered a gorgeous view of the buffalo river and our campground. I hope we get back sometime.

We came to Buffalo point right after the terrible floods in April 20 25. Our original reserve campsite had been partially washed away so they put us in the first come first serve a loop at a 17. Bathrooms were nothing special but adequate and clean. The Rangers were very helpful. There's a great bluff of rocks below the a loop that you can sit on and watch the sunrise and the sunset. Definitely no Verizon service in the campground, but the Ranger station has Wi-Fi and wild bills at the intersection of 14 and 268. Also has Wi-Fi if you need service. The overlook and forest and campground trails were easy to get around on and mostly well marked, except for some rocky areas we were there mid week and the a loop was mostly empty until Friday night. The gravel part was accessible anytime and never crowded. The a loop is mostly forested while the BNC loops are very exposed. We preferred the a loop to the others, but did not realize until after we got there. we had an extremely quiet visit and very relaxing. We hung hammocks at our campsite without incident.

It was very nice to be a few yards away from the restrooms and showers. Clean, well-kept tent only campground. We were able to hike down to the river and start our hike on the Indian Rockhouse Trail right from our campsite. A shame we had to leave a day early because of Tornado warnings, but that's just the time of year we picked.

Beautiful area! Camp sites spacious and well maintained. The bathrooms are overall clean, need updating but functional and generally well kept- the shower is a one temp:hot hot hot hot hot! While we loved having a hot shower there needs to be a way to adjust or just turn the one temp down a bit.
