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 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.

We used Buffalo as a base camp for visiting Yellowstone. It was the nearest available place we could find with electric hookups. It was excellent for us. Its quiet, beautiful, and the hosts were very nice. I would recommend it to anyone. The drive to yellowstone takes about an hour but it was worth it.

Sites were well maintained, spaced out so you weren't on top of other campers, lots of trees, and friendly hosts!

We love this campground right along the river. Missed the Smokey the Bear presentation this year, but otherwise we had an excellent stay.
