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.

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.

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.

We love this place so peaceful, quite and beautiful.

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.

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.

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.
@Stephanni56DF2 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #4
love the campground & campsites,,,however, the bathrooms/ showers were really gross. showerhead was broken & "fixed" with duct tape. which did NOT fix the problem & was not able to adjust water temp. we have been camping here for several years and have noticed a gradual decline in the overall condition of campground. unfortunately, we will not be back next year. Allegheny site management needs to do better

Nothing to comment on
@HeatherF320C54 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #1
We stay at the group site every year for our annual kayak trip. We go in May because the creeks are usually high and this is a central location. Its also right off the Allegheny River so you can launch upstream and take out at camp. The facilities all well maintained but could definitely use an upgrade. I like that the group site has easy access to water and an outhouse. The only thing we dont like is there is no access to electricity at the group site. So make sure you pack plenty of power banks. Lots of wildlife, and beautiful scenery.
@BrianO3978027 · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #11
good place to camp
@StephJ0EBF65FA · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #26
Really enjoyed the campground! Easy to navigate, small trails, beautiful scenery, quiet, and the host, Ron, and his wife, were amazing! There is a pit toilet, and 2 restrooms located within an easy walk. The Allegheny River is steps away and provides a beautiful backdrop for an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

We have been to Buckaloons before. We do enjoy the campground. The weather was terrible. Raining every day. Didnt spend much time outside at all. Our campsite 42 was so muddy we had to park our truck in an other site. We did watch the kids ride bikes and scooters. We went to the Chicken BarBQ at Clarendon Firehall. We went into Warren to the YMCAs book sale and Sugar Groves Boy Scout Yard Sale. We played cards and read good books. It really was a weekend for relaxing.
@WilliamH371990 · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #26
Fun as always.
@richarda847269 · Camped on Oct 20, 2023 at Campsite #37
nice sites, clean bathrooms
@AndrewO7F3A6E7 · Camped on Oct 20, 2023 at Campsite #10
Very much enjoyed our stay and the facilities. A note of improvement: there were no regular checks on the bath houses or restocking of toilet paper during our 5 day stay.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
