Hardly ever saw the hosts but the bathrooms were spotless as was the campground. Nice to have a little mowing where needed.

Buffalo Campground is my favorite in Island Park and has been for years. The hosts are always helpful and the camps
are cleaned and ready to go when the season opens. It is a yearly tradition for us.

Wonderful campground
Clean
Friendly hosts
Well kept
Only problem was when the camp host was blowing off the paved areas and blew all the dust and pollen right onto our trailer, vehicle, stove, and everything.
