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.

We always love our stay! Love that you have access to the water throughout the park and you don’t HAVE to go to the beach area. Bathrooms are private and very clean!

We have been camping here for over 30 years. While having the electrical sites is very nice, it is such a shame they don't have more of them. I would like to see electricity carried farther down.

Buffalo Park is a nice small campground. It needs some larger sites to accommodate larger rv's and need more electric/water hookup sites. It is very nice campground and has some real nice camp host!
