I love my family time spent at Buckhorn campground. There’s no greater sound than that of children aloud to be children; friendships, games of hide n seek after dark, bike races, volleyball, baseball, bike rides in the rain and laughter singing in the air. All of which are precious memories.

Nice camping sights . Quite . Not many things to do. Kids have a nice playground. Wish they had kayaks to rent so you could ride the creek or lake this would be nice and some live music or something for adults. This would make it a super nice camping experience.

Buckhorn is a very clean campground, friendly staff and guests. Most sites are along the creek with great fishing opportunities. Will definitely come back here for a longer stay.

We have always loved to camp here, but they have become very strict with parking. We always bring 2 vehicles, and you cant have your vehicle in the grass what-so-ever! 2 trucks wont fit in the campsite with our trailer and my family who always camp with is, are disabled and on oxygen, were ask to move their vehicle from the campsite because 2 of the tires were in the grass! Total CRAP! And then this trip, the grass was just a mess where the kids usually play and fish.. un-cut, and grass clippings left over from the last cut.

Well maintained. Really nice laundry. Go hosts.
Make sure you have everything you need because campground is remote.
Nearest diesel fuel is 30 mins away.
