Great area. Plan to float the buffalo right from your campsite. Slow shallow river. SUP works great., as do tubes, kayaks it’s not crowded like Big Springs river.

Very clean campground with nice paved roads. Bathrooms are clean and well taken care of. I do wish there was loops other than C-loop that had electricity.
