The camp host and maintenance people were very friendly and accommodating. For having pit toilets they were extremely clean and well kept up.

CG was very clean. The best part was how quiet the entire place is all day and night. About a 40yd walk to the river. It would have been nice to be closer to the water.

We recently stayed at Buffalo Campground and had a wonderful experience. The campground was exceptionally clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The electric hookups worked perfectly, and the campsites were some of the most spacious we’ve encountered, providing plenty of room to relax without feeling crowded by neighboring campers.
The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind and enjoy the outdoors. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable campground with generous camping spots and reliable electric service, Buffalo Campground is an excellent choice. We would definitely stay here again.
