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.

I was unhappy that I had to reserve on line only because I had to drive back to town to reserve not even knowing it was available. Thankfully it hadn’t been reserved. I’m a senior and not very savvy with the internet. Also we like to just pick up and travel and don’t usually make reservations ahead of time. Depending on the weather is when we like to travel. Making a reservation ahead of time we are stuck in the rain or bad weather. We’re seniors and retired and can go at any time.

Loved our stay here, right on the water and for some reason the campground was nearly empty!

One of the quietest campgrounds with amazing sunrises we’ve ever been. Great place for stargazing. Close to lake and it makes it convenient for water activities. Only downside was the bugs, it was still a nice stay however.

Nice, well kept campground with easy access to Black Butte Resevoir and only 20 minutes from shopping in Ordland. Cell service is a nice bonus as well.

Great location. Difficult for tent camping as many of the spots have a bit of slope. The flatter spots have less shade/trees. May be better for RV camping.

Directions to specific campsites was confusing. Driving in at dusk was hard to find campsite #. Seemed odd that the higher numbered sites were towards the entrance and the lower numbers at the end. Never found our campsite, so since there were only 3 other campers in the park, just pulled into one for the night.
