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.

while I LOVED being Water side, the small things kinda ruined it.. big HUGE Recluses and RED ants in the tree. Dead fish along the bank from the Lamprey...so the smell was horrible, I asked a park ranger if I could move it to the reeds..they said no...and the kosquitos....horrible evem with repellwnt candle spray and fire going....so this site not my favorites

The toilets were completely filthy and a human hazard, with feces all over.

Spent a beautiful long weekend here. The kids had a ball wake and knee boarding and the adults enjoyed a relaxed great weekend. The park was nice and we enjoyed all the respectful campers. The skeeters, however, were out in full force and they seem to love insect repellant.

AS always our camping at Buckhorn camp site at BlackButte Lake has been a lot of fun. Lots of swimming other water sports, bbqing laughter story telling. We have camped at Buckhorn campground many times over the years and always had a wonderful time.

Even though the generator behind the restroom was constantly going , the noise level was very doable and became part of the background sounds. Nice to have a shower and flush toilets! Lake is very full so some of our Hobie Fleet weed whacked to create a clearer beaching area. All was well.

Love the view of our site. The wind blows off the lake and keeps you cool all night long. The trees have grown so much they provide great shading. This is our 2nd time going for 3 nights and 4 days. Definitely doing it again next year. We had 4 boats, a wave runner and 2 kayaks. Our group was around 50 people. Lots of fishing, tubing, swimming.

Very well-maintained facility overall. Bathrooms and showers were clean although no TP in the bathroom one day. Lots of areas along the lakeshore to enjoy. We had the misfortune of being there when a local boat club was there with their super loud speedboats. They felt compelled to show off how loud and it spoiled the day for everyone else.
