I love Buckhorn in the Spring but I’ve noticed over the past five years of going here it is getting neglected and not kept up. The nice bathrooms and hot shower were awesome. Now the bathrooms are closed, locked up, porta potties to replace them. It used to have a camp host at the gate. Now nobody and I think I saw the Ranger once in three days come by. And for the last few years they’ve had the generator running at the boat dock. When are you going to get that fixed? The asphalt roads are nice to have but they are getting cracked, potholes, and weeds. Please do what is necessary to fix Buckhorn up. I love this place and hate seeing it neglected.

Very sad to see the bathroom locked and out houses in place??? Miss the park host, not the same atmosphere as in the past.

I stayed the night in campsite 14 and I woke up to sound of a person driving a 4 wheel ATV around the campground spraying herbicide on the grass in the road cracks and along the sides of the road right where I was parked for the night. I departed promptly.

We really enjoyed our stay in site 50 with our trailer. It was very easy to back in and, even though I was concerned about the steepness of the driveway, our trailer is short enough that it was flat and level. The site and campground were clean and well-maintained. We loved the "private deck" aspect of our site and the easy access to the lake for kayaking. We went Sunday through Tuesday, and at times on Sunday and in the evening on Monday, some visitors had loud music, but for the most part, we had no neighbors and a quiet, private experience. If towing, be aware that the drive to the campground is a bit long and curvy, but doable. We loved our experience, and I would recommend this campground. PS - there was no employee on site to take money (we reserved online) or buy firewood from. We had to drive back to Corning to buy firewood. Also, the showers were not working during our stay, but the vault toilets were clean (and surprisingly didn't stink!) and well-stocked.

We had campsite 54. Beautiful weekend at the lake. We had a quiet channel on the water. Plenty of trees for shade. Gorgeous watching the sunrise and sunset across the water. Definitely returning.
