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.

After parking in space 13 at Buckhorn as we had several times over the last 17 years, we were told that that we had to reposition in the opposite direction. This put our door on the street side instead of the 'picnic' side with a view of the dump site instead of the lake. VERY DISAPPOINTING! Or we could search for another site online. So we will not be using 13 again.

Beautiful surprise of a campground. Almost empty of people. Good stargazing . Water level low in October. Clean bathrooms. Many of the sites are not level at all, but we moved to am empty level site after talking to the host.

It would have been really nice to know that the water and electric were shut off before we arrived. It was especially disappointing to find out it had been off for TWO MONTHS before our reservation.

Everything was good as expected. I enjoyed the stay.
Only suggestion is to trim up a few low limbs at the entry to the hill to avoid rv damage.
thanks
