My husband and I were looking for a getaway for our anniversary and since air travel is difficult we opted for the trailer adventure. Love Buffalo campground. It was awesome. The bathrooms were clean. The weather was a bit chilly at night but days were fabulous. We saw a lot of wildlife in the park and that was great. It was a fantastic adventure.

The camp ground was kept very clean, and was nice and peaceful. We stayed at the end of September and the weather was amazing. I was a little worried about the stay because of the poor reviews about the camp host, but they never once bothered use. I am planning on making this a yearly stay.
