This is a nice little campground. Our site was level, only issue were the bees. The bathroom and showers were clean. As for laundry, there are 3 washers and dryers in a little building with AC. (bring your quarters) We have Verizon cell service and were able to stream videos. No antenna TV signal. When picking your site notice that some of the sites have concrete patio while others are fine gravel.

We had a very good time at Buckhorn campground. Don’t know her name, but the camp host there was very friendly & informative. The campgrounds were well taken care of and other camp/COE employees or volunteers were around most every day working on something or cleaning the restrooms & showers. We used the laundry facilities one day and washers/dryers were clean and worked well. Only downside was the fish weren’t biting. Very quiet at this campground.

One of the best campgrounds we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. We have visited twice and both times we have been be pleased with the campground. The park attendants are super nice. Park is clean, well maintained and kid friendly. Bath houses were clean. This is a hidden gem. There is not a lot of stores, gas stations, etc.. close, so pack what you need. But the campground is peaceful and quiet. Perfection. We drive 2.5 hours to camp at this location, well worth the drive.

Had a great few days' getaway with family. My son loves to fish at Buckhorn Lake. Host at the campground is so nice and very helpful. Very quiet and peaceful place to enjoy some down time from work. Everything is clean and well taken care of. If you love being on the Lake and fishing, this is the place to be.
