Great place to stay. I wish they hadn't taken out the flush toilets and replaced them with pit toilets. But they keep them clean and they don't stink too bad. Camp host have always been friendly and easy to work with.

The Host was fantastic! We were going to have to move for a few extra nights to another loop and the host was very sweet and managed to help us find one in the same loop for the extra nights. B Loop was extremely clean, the restrooms were always cleaned and I noticed the host constantly cutting down weeds and maintaing the area. I love Island Park but I espically love to stay in the Buffalo campground. We floated down the Buffalo River every day and it was so relaxing!

Safe and secluded. We felt comfortable leaving our property unattended during the day. The sights and nature were beautiful.
