About Buffalo Park

Buffalo Park is a small day use and campground park, located on John H. Kerr Reservoir. The campground is open May 1 - September 30. The Day Use Park is open year-around. Kerr, also known as Buggs Island Lake, is a 50,000-acre lake that extends 39 miles up the wooded, cove-studded shoreline of the Roanoke River in Virginia and North Carolina. Kerr Reservoir was created with the construction of the John H. Kerr Dam in 1952. Its 800 miles of wooded shoreline stretch across six counties in two states and offer countless recreation opportunities for visitors.

Campsites are very spacious with tons of room in between sites. Site 1 has a severe slope of 46” front to back on our 30’ TT. Bring block and mortar if you want to have your RV level and wobble free. The rest of the sites looked level.

Great spot for boaters and fishermen.
Lots of room between sites, ours had great shade. Need to trim overhead tree branches at turn around areas.

We have been coming here for a few years now, and I can say it's the best camping we have done. The views are awesome, the people are great, the staff is helpful. You can't ask for a better experience. I will DEFINITELY be back.
