Buffalo Springs Lake Campground

Horrible experience!! None of the campsites were available unless you stayed two nights $57. Then charged gate entry fees for the two days $120. Then told us we could only have two tents per campsite! $157 for campsites that have no electricity. 10pm was the quiet time for the lake and was not enforced. The lake was loud with people partying till 2 I the morning.

It had an awesome view. But the pay per person was another thing. The water had a awful smell. The water was deep green like to much allergy in it . I actually give it three and a half stars.

A hidden gem in Lubbock! 🌿 I’ve spent so much time exploring these trails, and it never gets old. Whether you're here for a peaceful walk bird watching or just to enjoy the beautiful gardens this place is a sanctuary The scenery changes beautifully with the seasons, making every visit unique Perfect spot for photography and connecting with nature A must-visit if you are in the area ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They raised the gate fee from $12 in 2025 to $20 in 2026. That’s a 67% price increase year over year. The worst part is, it’s DEFINITELY not worth that!!! By comparison, Palo Duro Canyon State Park is $8…. Palo Duro is 10xs the experience and 100xs more beautiful. Whoever is making these decisions should truly be ashamed of themselves. Poor Lubbock.

I really wanted to like this place. We were staying for 3 nights. The day rate is really high, almost doubled the cost for our camp site. I noticed a literal knife left on the table at our campground, and a fishing lure. We had to clean up instantly to make it safe for kids.

My son noticed many things at the playground broken, wheels missing so the screws are just exposed, there was trash everywhere.

A lot that is wanting some TLC, but reason for review is Friday night, a group of campers were partying way past quiet hours till like 2 am with talking and loud music. My husband said he saw someone came and talked to them but nothing changed. All the rules they send out I really don’t get it. We came here for my son’s birthday weekend and don’t plan on coming back to this campground.

Update: What’s worse is we found out the camp host was supposedly right next to them. We came camping with my son and 2 month old and have never had campers so rude, ppl even asking them to keep it quiet. It only improved the second night, the host would drive away and they would turn the music up again. When we got back that evening it was finally quiet.
