Buffalo (Idaho)

I'll give it three stars since I have camped here twice. The first time was in Aug 2016 and it was great.
This time July 4 2020; it was terrible. Not the mosquitoes, I can live with them, it was the fact that the host and/or the forest service did nothing about the high number of people in the campground setting off fireworks basically through the night. (Fireworks started July 3 turning into an all night crescendo of constant fireworks till well past midnight. July 5 was nice and quiet and could hear the moose bellowing in the distance. (Have to wonder what those poor animals did the nights of the fireworks?)

Fireworks are ILLEGAL in FS campgrounds, but I guess those in authority did not care. I wonder if their opinion would have changed if they had caused a wildfire?

So, outside of a holiday, with the campground full of inconsiderate people setting off fireworks, it is a nice place to camp. And easy to get to from Hwy 20.

Went in early June and it was quite fun. Only downsides were the that the pine trees were pollenating heavily and the mosquitoes were thick.

The campsite was beautiful. You could easily walk down to the river. I will definitely return to this campground.

It was quiet and beautiful. Loved it!!

I found the site a little difficult to use as the availability calendar does not always show prior to trying to reserve what is actually open but overall it worked out.

I made reservation about 2 months before. The day i was leaving i checked my reservation and it said it was canceled do to repaving. I was not notified by email or phone call at all. I reserved a spot with electricity and wasn't setup with generator . My reservation that showed cancelled said do not do anything that you was working on it. I took a picture of email and give it to camp hostess and he said he was going to let his boss know. i never heard anything from anyone after that . So i booked one with out and had to get generator to be able to come on vacation. I was not real happy because i was not contacted.

Sincerely
