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.

We just spent one night in sight 6 with our 24’ camper and we had a good experience. Didn’t really have neighbors too close and had a great view of the lake. It only took a couple minutes to get down to the water, however, there aren’t a lot of places to sit and relax for the day (i.e. not many beach spots) close by. The site itself was mostly level side to side but our back stabilizers were nearly fully extended (with blocks) and the front ones we barely had to put out. The water spigot is close-by but in an awkward spot where other folks were skirting the boundary of our campsite to get to. It’s close to the bathrooms/showers which we didn’t use much, they were mostly clean but were inundated with insects. Note: there were LOTS of bugs everywhere when in late May and early June.

Water level was very high so we launched out paddle boards from the campsite and it was quiet with few guests mid week! Great first visit!

The Lake was full, the hills were green, the fish were bitin' and the water was warm. The trails are perfect... the restroom clean - what more can I say? I love this place in the springtime!

Had a great time. All three rangers we had contact with were really nice. The gal even came back the next day with a trail map that she took the time to print. Sites are clean. Mosquitoes had their way with us, but we are in their world. Second time to camp here. Will be back again….
