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.

Oh my goodness!! We LOVE camping at Buffalo. It’s a small campground but absolutely perfect for us. The hosts are fantastic and remember us! Great sites, most are quite spacious and the cleanest bath houses out of any campgrounds we have stayed in!!!! Definitely our favorite, can hardly wait for them to open!!
