Most sites in Buffalo Grove are quite unlevel, and our site was not cleaned before our arrival with debris left from previous RVers. We stayed 5 nights total in 2 separate campsites, both terribly unlevel, throughout stay never witnessed anyone cleaning sites whatsoever. We live in ABQ area less than an hour away, we come a few times a year. Lately, campground has dropped a couple of notches overall. We prefer now to stay at NM State parks where they thoroughly clean and rake your site, sites are more level, better spaced, and a bit more economical at $14 nightly.

Bathroom was clean and well lit. Beautiful view of the lake. One thing I would be aware of are ant mounds near the campsite.

Very nice campground....very well kept. Good spacing in-between sites. And it was great to have nice showers. I didn't have a site with electric hook up, but they are available. My site, number 71 in the Ringtail Cat loop, had fabulous views of the lake! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this campground and will not hesitate to stay here again.

One important detail that should have been accessible online. While leashed pets are allowed at the campground, they are not allowed at the swimming beach. This should be noted in the description.

It was nice however these electric sites are on "mounds" and are a little strange to have to walk down to your picnic table. Not such a bad thing but definitely different! There are some better electric sites that were taken by folks in tents. Overall great weekend get away and the lake just minutes away.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
