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

A very friendly place to stay. The camp host went out of his way to help us when we locked ourselves out of our motor home. Everything is always clean and nice. We just wished it stayed open later in the year to enjoy it more.

It was very relaxing and the view was perfect. Really recommend this location because it was very clean, the shower and toilet were private. Well maintained.

Wonderful place close to the water always meet friendly people and lots of fur babies. Nothing compares to the camp host Ross and Barbara are the BEST. We have camped in the area for years and always try to get in at Buffalo 2 or 3 times a summer if possible,
