Buckboard Campground offers a beautiful, quiet setting with spacious, shaded sites and excellent access to nearby trails and attractions like Canyonlands National Park. Families have enjoyed activities like fishing and playing games, and wildlife sightings, including deer, have added to the charm. However, some guests noted the lack of water availability and occasional noise from nearby groups or local visitors.

The reservation website stated that there is water available from spigots at this campground. This is not true. There was no water available at all. The spigots were covered with plastic and the water was shut off. How does USFS/Recreation.gov expect people to make choices about campgrounds when the info they give us is WRONG?!?!? They should at least give us a full refund.

I loved this campground and was sad to be only staying one night on my way home from a long trip!

Our family Back-To-School camp was outstanding. The weather was perfect. Our children had a wonderful weekend. They enjoyed the outdoors, they went fishing, played corn hold, flag football, horseshoe, hide and seek, and the most part was where we had a deer come into our camp and just hung around. No, we did not feed deer.
We had some local visitors late at night making their round with loud music. Other than that we had fun!

Great weather, perfect summer temperatures, quiet and secluded. Group sites can be loud if present and echoes quite a bit.

The website should tell you this site is difficult for larger units to get into even though there is plenty of room if you can make the corners into the site. It isn't very level either but it is secluded. The camp host recognized we would have an issue and called us the day before arrival and helped us to relocate to a site that better suited our needs, so that was fantastic. Pit toilets were well maintained and buckets were provided for water to put out your campfire. Will be back but will stay at a different site in Dalton Springs Campground (Maybe a mile down the road).
