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 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.

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.

Miss very much the check-in procedure that appears abandoned by the Bureau. Now we have to do the job of the check-in host to prevent getting a ticket for camping without a window notice. Also, seeing the new tajmahal temple (the new office) on the way to the campsite can be easily viewed as why there is no longer money to keep the restrooms functional and keep the host process open.
Overall the camping site and the lake were in good shape and fun was had by all, but the administration of the existing rules and lack of enforcement causes some concern.

We lucked out with perfect weather, no bugs and no people. Enjoyed a hike to the top of the butte. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would have given it the highest rating except they are having a water issue and so the toilets were closed.
