The campsite was very organized and clean. The site was marked and ready for use when we arrived. The only thing that might have improved the site is if it sat back further from the road since the road noise is audible at night. Otherwise, a great location. Also, compared to other campsites I've visited the sites lack privacy. You have neighbors quite close by. Still, our stay was very enjoyable.

This has been a yearly trip for us. We enjoy staying in Buffalo Campground and have stayed there for many years each spring.
The campground is always clean and well kept and the staff/campground hosts are very helpful and friendly.
It's our favorite!
