Campground was easy to find. No problem setting up camp. Campground was very clean. I was there in mid September and fewer than half the camp spots were occupied. I never went to the other loops maybe they were fuller. As a result of this it was vary quiet. Excellent location for fishing the Henry's Fork of the Snake River which was my purpose for being there. Close to Yellowstone National Park. If I take another trip to the Henry's Fork I will stay there again.

I just completed my stay at Buffalo. I have nothing but praise for this place. Starting with Loren the area manager, what a great guy, thank you for helping me out. Janet is great she really cares about the campground and the guests. Helen was a bright spot of our day when she came buy to say hi and check up on us. If I could give you all 100 star's that would not be enough.
THANK YOU

Only there for one night but would have lived to stay longer. Will definitely come back. Many sites are situated such the you don’t see other campers when sitting outside.
