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.

Loved the leveled areas around the firepit/picnic table overlooking the lake. However, the pull through parking pad provided a challenge in leveling the trailer.

I have a 32 ft trailer and the pull-thru site took a bit of work to get us set up in a decent spot since the site is curved.
The driveway edge was also higher than the rest of the campsite so our steps had quite a large drop at the bottom step which was difficult to manage. The water was just a short walk down the hill from the campsite and there was a mown pathway that led down there which was appreciated. It was a bit steep though and my sun took a tumble headfirst and wound up with a scraped up face so be careful walking down to the water.
The weekend we were these was RIDICULOUSLY windy! All the other campers surrounding us left after 1 night of heavy winds and I don't blame them.
The view was absolutely gorgeous and the campground was nice and quiet since it was pretty empty. I would come back again and hope for calmer weather next time.
We have AT&T cell service and the service was very spotty. We didn't have service most of the time we were there. Out on the boat launch parking area cell service was great though, so go there if you need to.

Spacious site for a large tent, clean bathrooms, and very quiet when we went (off-season in early March).

we would never come back again, camp place was too small, too dusty, it says on the site that you can buy some fire woods there , we even called and they confirmed but when we were there there's none available.

Often full and they won’t open other campgrounds in the park - why can’t they make leveled campsites and picnic tables, they always put those sites on the edge of a cliff, all campgrounds seem to have the worst locations and views, like hem everybody in like a herd of cows or something. Always with the locked gates, can’t go here can’t go there can’t go anywhere like the visitors are prisoners or something, why don’t you put machine gun towers and spotlights out everywhere? All government properties, that are owned by the public by the way, are treated as territorial turf and no trespassing And if begrudgingly they do offer recreation areas it is with Appalling rules and regulations that stifle, suffocate and ruin the whole experience. The government is totally deaf dumb and blind and not answerable to the public whatsoever. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Not if the government can help it—-

We had a wonderful time but the water was so low. Our slide did not work and the wonderful camp host researched and came back to assist. We got on the road and home. The camp host and his wife are so nice and helpful. They were our rv angels.
