I hope the direction of parking will be reviewed. Opening your door into the "flow of traffic" as the park director called it makes no sense when you have children going in and out of the camper. We truly enjoy Black Butte, and for years we have parked against the traffic flow in the center section (wrong of us we know) but the door opening into the street does not make any logical sense.

It was peaceful and the fellow campers were polite. Park Rangers drove through frequently and were friendly.

Great campground with nice hiking trails.
But generators ruin it.
Every morning and every evening are ruined by the roaring sound of generators.

Buckhorn recreation area camp spot is a wonderful place. It feels like you traveled for days to get to the peacefulness and tranquility that exists. The dark skies full of stars, the bird watching are magnificent. I love stopping at Buckhorn every year. Only 8 miles from I-5 - yet no traffic, no airplanes, no trains, just quiet.

Only problem was that the restrooms were closed and there was not water service. Camp sites were clean.

The showers are only cold! No hot water like in the past! The tv dump station is closed down. They have changed the direction of parking your tv, now the door opens up to the street. Very dangerous for small children going in and out of trailers.

Beautiful time of year to be at Black Butte. The park hosts were friendly and the trails and grounds are well maintained. Unfortunately the showers nearest us had no hot water and there was no dump station available. These should be maintained and available even during the fall and winter.
