Love camping at the Buffalo National River. Clean park. Outstanding scenery.

Best site of this trip. Fishing was promising.Floaters Beware!An entire family group lost many of their boats and required a swift water rescue for one. Check conditions before you take yourself or your KIDS down river.

I wasn't able to go to the reunion with my family. I was recovering from an attack of Covid. According to my children, nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members the pavilion was clean and was a very good time for them all.

Renting a kayak or bringing your own is a must. A few good hiking trails. Not much else to do. Buggy. The Rangers and camp hosts were GREAT.

@DeniseOF345297 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #D74

Facilities were decent-warm,rivate shower. Wefound that other campers were friendly>

@JANICEH6981474 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #D73

Nice campground. Well cared for. Could use an outside water spigot at the restroom for washing sand off when coming up from the beach.

@KevinM8804744 · Camped on May 11, 2025 at Campsite #D64

Nice campground with great host. Would camp again!

@PaulW1379819 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #B31

Buffalo Point is a well run, beautiful campground with stunning views of the Buffalo River. The rangers and camp hosts are very helpful and friendly.

@JamesB7853748 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #D58

Campsites are close together. The best sites are on the end of each loop. We did the 3 1/2 mile hike out and back to Indian rock house. Very good hike. Lots of interesting things to see but more strenuous than you might think. Lots of up and down. Would not recommend it for warm weather because of ticks.

@WilliamC221307 · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #C49

This campground was very nice. Beautiful area right on the Buffalo river. Easy access for rv rigs and site's were fairly level for easy set up.Site length is a thing here though, so check that when booking a camp site. Nice bathroom and shower facilities for campers to use, especially on a river campground probably the best I've ever seen. There is no cell phone coverage in the campground, but you can drive back up to the ranger station and get signal. Lot's of outdoor activities in this beautiful area. Would definitely go back again, however plan ahead and book early because this campground is very busy and difficult to get a reservation during the summer river floating season.

@TinaS5EFEA16F9 · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #D68

Buffalo Point never disappoints us. The new fire rings aren't as user friendly as the old ones, but better than the ones that are a foot tall.

@kevinj6487226 · Camped on Apr 30, 2025 at Campsite #D63

This is a beautiful campground along the Buffalo River. We took several long hikes from the trails right at the campground. The view from the river access is stunning.

@AnthonyJ385127 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #C48

Was very nice, clean, quiet. The camp host were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend it I will be back

@JewellR94AF032 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #C40

I wish we could have seen the river from our campsite. And there was no cell service at the campsite but other than that just perfect!

@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #C51

The park is very nice. Bathrooms are dated and could use some tlc. Camp host was nice. Lots of roads to ride bikes on. No cell service or wifi.

@MartyB9040174 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #C39

With some services understandably unavailable, remaining staff were doing their best to keep things running. This is still a lovely park and I hope it remains so.

@CynthiaED92A1D · Camped on Apr 13, 2025 at Campsite #C53

This is a jewel of a park. Used it as our home base for floating the upper Buffalo River and fishing on the White River. We drove up to the restaurant, hoping to buy some ice. Seems like theyre renovating it, but while we were there, we discovered a gorgeous view of the buffalo river and our campground. I hope we get back sometime.

@MatthewD639755 · Camped on Apr 11, 2025 at Campsite #C39

This is a great campground. The sites are nice, the bathrooms are nice, and the views are great.

@Stephanie22978 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #B31

We came to Buffalo point right after the terrible floods in April 20 25. Our original reserve campsite had been partially washed away so they put us in the first come first serve a loop at a 17. Bathrooms were nothing special but adequate and clean. The Rangers were very helpful. There's a great bluff of rocks below the a loop that you can sit on and watch the sunrise and the sunset. Definitely no Verizon service in the campground, but the Ranger station has Wi-Fi and wild bills at the intersection of 14 and 268. Also has Wi-Fi if you need service. The overlook and forest and campground trails were easy to get around on and mostly well marked, except for some rocky areas we were there mid week and the a loop was mostly empty until Friday night. The gravel part was accessible anytime and never crowded. The a loop is mostly forested while the BNC loops are very exposed. We preferred the a loop to the others, but did not realize until after we got there. we had an extremely quiet visit and very relaxing. We hung hammocks at our campsite without incident.

@KelseyFF184A78 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #A

It was very nice to be a few yards away from the restrooms and showers. Clean, well-kept tent only campground. We were able to hike down to the river and start our hike on the Indian Rockhouse Trail right from our campsite. A shame we had to leave a day early because of Tornado warnings, but that's just the time of year we picked.

@JimW6270918 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #C45

Nice campgrounds, sites were a little close to each other, but good water, no cell service.

@AshleyS5221344 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #C40

Beautiful area! Camp sites spacious and well maintained. The bathrooms are overall clean, need updating but functional and generally well kept- the shower is a one temp:hot hot hot hot hot! While we loved having a hot shower there needs to be a way to adjust or just turn the one temp down a bit.

@Christoph37654 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #C46

Great place to camp! Easy access to the river, clean sites, however do NOT follow the directions to the waypoint this app gives you! Google the location first and follow that address! Otherwise, a great choice whether you choose to take a tent or bring a camper

@ScottG2628513 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #C45

Campground was awesome. This spot is a little hard to back into. I have a 41' trailer. There is a huge tree in the way when backing in, but other than that, great spot. You can see the river from this campsite. Would definitely stay here again.

@DrewS6132191 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #B34

Great spot. Park was clean, quiet, and river was beautiful.

@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
