About Buffalo Park

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.

Its 800 miles of wooded shoreline stretch across six counties in two states and offer countless recreation opportunities for visitors.

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!
