Clean, quiet, always worth the visit in the "off season"
Generator noise is minimal.

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.

Very clean nice sized spot for trailer bath rooms were also very good. For us that don’t walk well anymore little to no access to lake for fishing. When checking in site wouldn’t allow me to enter my senior life time pass for discount

Enjoyable trails with nice camping area. Clean washrooms and well maintained grounds. They had some power and water issues but setup a big generator to provide power while they worked through the issues. They have a big wind generator and solar panels but the wind generator appeared to be halted. Crazy windstorm overnight with wind so strong that I had trouble walking around. I look forward to returning on the summer with better weather.

site was closed. we had even verified a few times, i think the web site linked 2 locations to Buckhorn. they sold us a reservation for one and set us up for another that was not open. i don't even know how to dispute, it was not a good experience and i have low trust in this system.

This campground is in a beautiful setting with a huge area of native oak savannah, great birdwatching, and trails. HOWEVER, there is a loud generator running 24/7, right adjacent to the campground, which totally ruined our experience. There is no warning about this on their website, or we would not have come here. In a normal campground, generators are required to be turned off during quiet hours, and this one is significantly louder than any RV generator. We were told it is to run the bathroom. Really? Install a vault toilet and let people use a flashlight. The bathroom is run down anyway (plumbing issues) and needs an overhaul.

We love visiting Buckhorn as the facilities are always well maintained. The exception is the ongoing use of a large, noisy generator. This has been an issue for several YEARS now. I understand it's use as a temporary stop gap for the water situation, but it electrical issue should be fixed. It really distracts from the point of camping with peace and quiet as this generator runs 24/7.

The Army Corps of Engineers is a noteworthy organisation, but Buckhorn Lake park does not reflect this. The bathrooms are foul, the showers are more or less unusable, the water pressure is low, and many of the bathrooms have only emergency lighting. The tables are effaced and could use a good cleaning. The railings and steps are decayed. Yes, it is cheap, 20 dollars, and formerly 18 dollars a night, but one does not want to stay since it is so dismal.
