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.

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.

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

There were no spigots at individual sites and at the last minute we realized our site also had no power. Luckily we had a little solar. Pretty basic sites but not bad. The campground was close to the water but there’s very little access and no view. We enjoyed our time I just felt the river description was misleading. Camp host was wonderful.

The campground was incredibly clean, the bathrooms were spotless, and the area was quiet and peaceful. We floated the Buffalo River, which was absolutely heavenly. Our camp host, Ilene, was so kind and on top of everything. Definitely stay here if you get the chance!
The only downside? We still had cell service. 😉📱

The camp host was pleasant and helpful, the camp ground was nice and woodsie, the camp site was okay. The camp site had plenty of grassy hidden holes that nearly left me with twisted ankles several times. Just had to be more observant of where I stepped. Overall I would highly recommend this campground to anyone.
