Buckhorn camp grounds at Black Butte lake is a pleasant place to camp, picnic, swim and water ski among other activities like fishing and hunting. And it's a short 15 min. drive back to town for gas. food, groceries and supplies.

Clean and well maintained camps. Great stop off I5 north or south bound. Black butte lake is great. The buttes surround the lake and are beautiful.
