What Guests Are Saying
Buckhorn Campground offers beautiful views and spacious sites, making it a great location for rustic camping. Many guests appreciated the cleanliness of the porta-potties and the peaceful environment, especially during off-peak times. However, the lack of functional restrooms, noise from nearby generators, and occasional pest issues detracted from the overall experience, leading to mixed reviews about maintenance and amenities.

We had a great time. Was nice early day hot but wind. So canapies are good idea especially for down by water. Later in afternoon and night was hot and miserable so if you have a battery fan for tent it's advised. But the water is warm and nice. Really liked our camp spot. Kids loved it.

We picked up the trash from both our campsites left behind by other campers. Toilets and showers were disgusting and never cleaned. Rusting, pests, clumps of hair everywhere. Both men and women's areas need a lot of cleaning. Rangers are nice enough to announce why they are in your site. They just check to make sure that you are not parking your rv or trailer incorrectly. The amount of bugs were excessive, that's because of the heat and how close the sites are to the water. Still worth a visit on site 30 & 40. These are the best sites but a lot of bugs.

Pros: Nice, spacious site with a beautiful view. Cons: Poor campground etiquette of other guests (loud music, loud guests talking late into the night and early morning, bright lights from bikes at night, and the fire rings needs to be cleaned regularly).

Awesome campsite close to the lake. Well maintained facilities and clean bathrooms. I'll go back for sure.

I decided to give this new camp spot a shot as a first time place to bring my daughter camping. The location is wonderful and our spot was on the water. My friends and our kids had a blast. Only thing I’ll say is the lake has a lot of debris in it. Naturally occurring but it causes it to be one of the dirtier lakes I’ve gone in. Other than that it was a blast and we would return.
