We love staying at the Buffalo Campground! It's nice and quiet in the fall. Spring and Summer aren't as quiet because school is out. It's a central location that allows you to see all the sites. Not far from Yellowstone. You can float the Buffalo River, walk, or bike around the campground. The campground is clean, and the hosts are always nice and helpful.

Near enough to the highway to have road noise. Clean campground. Reservable. No rodent issue seen.
