Buffalo Campground in Idaho offers a beautiful, clean, and peaceful environment, with spacious sites and friendly hosts who provide exceptional service. Many reviewers appreciated the campground's well-maintained facilities, including spotless bathrooms and ample space for maneuvering RVs. While some noted noise from nearby highways and the need for better river access, the overall experience was positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

The only negative is my neighbors next door had 5 large dogs in a kennel that barked the whole time they were outside. There should be a reasonable limit on animals just like there is with cars ,people, rvs etc.

Love the campground. Host was not good! No sanitizer in bathrooms, sites were not clean, cars parked all over the place even under trailer canopy. Barking dogs which not sure they were cleaned up after. There should be an extra charge for dogs like for extras cars. Or a delegate loop for dogs. Some of us come camping to get away from dogs in the neighbor hood.
I will say though we saw Tommy more than the host. He is great and quick to resolve issues. Even took care of Barking dogs. Love Tommy and hope to see him next year. With this said we did enjoy our stay and will be back.

Very nice campground. Very clean and well taken care of. Even with all the trees I was still able to use my Starlink. I would definitely consider camping here again.

Buffalo is one of our favorite campgrounds. We go almost every year. It is a very well kept campground with lots of trees and shade. The bathrooms are the cleanes I've ever seen. Being within walking distance of the Buffalo River is great for recreation. Floating, swimming, fishing and the river is shallow and slow enough for kids. The campground host was very nice and helpful.

The camp hosts are very present and keep the bathrooms nice and clean. The campsites are clean and well spaced so you are not on top of your neighbors.

We really enjoy going to this campground. The restrooms were very clean. The main road can be heard in loops A and B. Campers would be better than a tent in these loops.

We enjoyed our two nights at Buffalo. Everyone was respectful and it was quiet. The Buffalo River is calm enough for kiddos to float and play.
