I enjoyed my stay at Buffalo campground. Bruce was very nice. My complaint is that there was not any sanitizer for most of the visit in the bathrooms. They were out of order. How long can it take to fix or replace. Eventually they were.
One recommendation is to put electricity into other loops. This would reduce the stress on C loop. It is hard to get into and is always very busy.

The bathrooms are very clean and well maintained ~ stocked. The camp hosts are friendly and pay attention to what is going on so that one group of campers isn't making things miserable for others. I look forward to staying at Buffalo
again.
