Very well maintained park, bathrooms were well kept. This campground gets a bit of road noise during the day due to it's proximity to a trucking company, but was quiet at night. Sites were isolated enough that you're not looking into each others windows. We have ATT wireless, and while we didn't have more than a bar or two, reception was great every day. Located right on the Allegheny River, so bring your boat.

Out house were over full. No toilet paper for 4 days. No soap in the bath house to wash hands. Ice is not avaible past 5:00 pm. Have been coming to the Bucaloons for 20 years this was the worst trip ever.

Buckaloons is a fantastic little campground along the Allegheny River. I spend at least 12 - 24 days camping in the Buckaloons per year. One Negative comment I have is that the Campground host's are not addressing the dog owners who's dog's bark at times continuously. I find this very frustrating, when the barking dog's owners do not have enough sense or common curiously to stop dog's from over barking the campground hoists should! this is not being done and need to be addressed. The Warren / Kinzua area is full on family friendly opportunities to be hade on the cheap $$$. The Wilder Museum two minutes from Buckaloons is a must. The Pa. Lumber Museum is just a couple hours away. Then there is the great Allegheny River to be enjoyed. Don't forget to take in Rimrock / Jake's overlooks after a stop into The Dockside by the lake while your visiting the greater Kinzua area.

One of my favorite places to go!
@RichardS712869 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #13
Excellent time while visiting! A tree came down and the camp host was quick to take care of it so we wouldnt be impacted on our last day!
@MattK8197071 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #2
Nice facilities. Big sites. It was packed with people, but everyone was very respectful, especially during quiet hours. The launch has no dock, but is ideal for canoes and kayaks.
@KarenRen5A1CBA · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #36
Our first time here with our 2 dogs. Beautiful camping area and well maintained. The restroom/shower area was cleaned daily. The roads are also well maintained and nice for walking. We were with a few others and next time we will explore more. Looking forward to returning.
@KevinK9789719 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #41
I put some hay down around the site to help control the mud and wetness, and was rudely ordered to remove it by the camp host (immediatley)
@danh834BE357D6 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #1
Two times we had to drive miles out of the way to get ice because the ice machine was always locked. The view looking over to the allegheny was much blocked because everything was over grown.
@LORIG5494827 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #27
Nice park. Grass sites. Main bathrooms were clean. Center bath being repaired. Camp hosts exceptional. Not much of a day use area. Many hiking and biking trails within 30 minutes.
@MichelleS9CF34 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #18
We love this place so peaceful, quite and beautiful.
@KarinC9D308F24 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #41
Very nice small campground but well taken care of. There is a nice 1.1 trail around the campground. The Seneca natives lived in the area. Historical sign depicts the history and the Seneca flag flies at the entrance.

Very nice weekend, eagles, hawks and lots of chipmunks

@johnc3063297 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #15
Very spacious size sites, park was clean except the bathrooms . They were very dirty , I never saw anyone cleaning them
@JulieF078463D7 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #57
My husband and I have found Buckaloons campground delightful, the sites are always clean and ready. Very helpful staff and facilities very clean. We will continue to enjoy our visits there in the coming future trips.
@AmberW7269041 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #54
Other than the insane amount of mosquitoes, everything was great. The bathrooms were kept exceptionally clean by the camp hosts and the rest of the facilities were well maintained. We will definitely be back!
@ConnieL794FC3D · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #14
Beautiful camp ground as well as having the facilities located in convenient spots around the grounds. Trail is nice to walk on a beautiful day. We have a great time every time we stay at Buckaloons!
@MichelleP94407 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #33
This is the most peaceful large site and clean facility with great kayaking hiking and bike trail. Gas and grocery near by ..a hidden gem
@MichaelW725874 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #30
We had a very private site. A green heron landed in a tree above us. First time we ever seen one of them.
@RANDALLH8C1FAA · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #29
Host was helpful and accommodating. Facilities were clean and well stocked.
@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #40
Our 3rd annual visit to Buckaloons and once again, excellent. Ron, Karen, and Phoenix (camp hosts) did a phenomenal job of maintaining the facilities. Facilities infrastructure needs investment, but the big woods are spectacular.
@KevinK9789719 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #27
Our campsite and the rest of the grounds was well maintained. The grass was cut and there wasnt any trash lying about. The bathrooms were clean every day we were there and the showers worked well and never ran out of hot water. The campground hosts were friendly and worked hard to provide a great experience while we were there. We would definitely back. Especially if we knew the same hosts were taking care of the campground.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
