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.

It was very quiet and peaceful the Fall night we were there, between rains. Jim, the Host made sure we were settled in for the evening and was most helpful.

Buckhorn is a beautiful park. It is very well laid out and maintained. The came host met us on arrival, and came by several times during our three day stay. Dump station was clean and easy to access. Verizon cell and data very strong. Only negative is that many of the site will require more than average effort to get level. We did not use the restrooms.

We took a trip the weekend of Nov 12th. The view of the lake and Black Butte is amazing from most campsites. Try to get a site right on the shore for the best lake views, or high on the hill for great views of Lassen Peak and Mt. Shasta. The only negative about our trip was that the nearby bathroom was closed and had a porta-potty that was almost completely overflowing with waste, rendering it unusable; we had to drive or walk 10 minutes to use a decent restroom.

Nice C.O.E. Campground on Black Butte Lake. Some pads a fairly small and not very level. We ended up switching sites to BH04 to accommodate or 30 ft trailer and truck. Camp host came by that evening and made the switch for us. Very helpful in getting us switched. One of the few COE campgrounds that Ive found open year round. Several hiking trails start out from the CG. We didnt us the dump facility but we did get fresh water. There is a tap near the dump station and also scattered throughout the CG. We camped at Buckhorn Campground / Black Butte Lake in a Travel Trailer.

Camp host was great, helped us through the process when we didn't have a reservation after our 200 mi drive! Camp site was great and enjoyed our mountain bike rides on the trail system!

I love Buckhorn! We live close by and have camped there a lot over the last 14 yrs. It’s clean, restrooms are clean, showers are hot. We used to love to boat and jet ski at Black Butte with our kids. We have a lot of great memories of our time spent at Buckhorn over the years.
