Buffalo is a beautiful, well kept campground. I enjoyed how clean the restrooms were, the friendliness and knowledge of the campground hosts, and the fact that each camping spot was very clean. I am a woman who pulls my own trailer and camps alone. I found the spots easy to access, level and I felt very safe. I will definitely camp there again.

I made reservation about 2 months before. The day i was leaving i checked my reservation and it said it was canceled do to repaving. I was not notified by email or phone call at all. I reserved a spot with electricity and wasn't setup with generator . My reservation that showed cancelled said do not do anything that you was working on it. I took a picture of email and give it to camp hostess and he said he was going to let his boss know. i never heard anything from anyone after that . So i booked one with out and had to get generator to be able to come on vacation. I was not real happy because i was not contacted.
Sincerely

I found the site a little difficult to use as the availability calendar does not always show prior to trying to reserve what is actually open but overall it worked out.

The campsite was beautiful. You could easily walk down to the river. I will definitely return to this campground.
