Pavilion was very clean and ready for our gathering. Ranger Ron came early and gave us instructions and was very pleasant about it. We had a nice gathering in spite of the wind.

I was pleasantly surprised with the well kept appearance of the areas we visited in the entire park. The restrooms were very clean, the pavilion was very clean and the Park Ranger on duty was extremely helpful. You could tell the employees took pride in their park. Tax payers dollars well spent.

As people began to show up for our event, the ranger came over and introduced himself and gave us several contact numbers to call if we needed anything. The ranger also said they had cleaned up the area in anticipation of our arrival. As we were leaving, he came back by and checked in again. He asked if everything had been good, and we jokingly said that the bathroom could have been a little closer to the Pavillion. He jokingly replied that he would move it. He was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Beautiful location, only downside is lack of power. Ranger stopped by and was super friendly and accommodating.

Buckhorn was great! the area is well kept and beautiful. It is a quiet area with occasional boats or such passing but all around a great place for events, the tables under the pavilion were larger than we thought and clean for outdoor tables. plenty of space for any event.
