Very nice campground. Clean and quiet. Only suggestion is that some of the spots are difficult to get into because the trees are so close to the pad. Would help if a few of them were taken out. The back-in spots are much easier for bigger trailers. We will be coming back!

It was quiet and woody. May back someday!

Nice campground for RVs in loop C. Could hear a bit of road noise but not too bad. Nice and dark at night.

We love staying at the Buffalo Campground! It's nice and quiet in the fall. Spring and Summer aren't as quiet because school is out. It's a central location that allows you to see all the sites. Not far from Yellowstone. You can float the Buffalo River, walk, or bike around the campground. The campground is clean, and the hosts are always nice and helpful.

We love Buffalo campground. Quiet enough to relax and close enough to all the things we love about Island Park.
@KeithJ4436314 · Camped on Sep 8, 2025 at Campsite #C2
Beautiful campground on the River! We enjoyed the scenery and the ease of kayaking the river. Great cellular coverage too.
@BradA8465530 · Camped on Sep 8, 2025 at Campsite #B10
Near enough to the highway to have road noise. Clean campground. Reservable. No rodent issue seen.

Absolutely wonderful!!
@EdwardC8595351 · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #C12
Very clean, beautiful river right behind our campsite. The West entrance to Yellowstone is only 20 minutes away,
@Stephanie24021 · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #C9
Quiet and just a nice clean area. Back in is a bit tough for 34 fifth wheels but once in it was great.

@PatF7965986 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #C12
We LOVE this park right on or close to the Buffalo River. For those who love to paddle in the river or fish perfect! Thank you for finally paving the entry road to all sections!!

@HannahE4280169 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #B3
Nice camp sites, easy to get to, clean restrooms and a great camp host! Rick was super personable and nice! We are planning on returning next year for a longer stay!
@AngelaK95A327E · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #F12
Quiet. Sweet little float right from the campground. Tidy, well organized.
@ShyloS16FC389A · Camped on Aug 21, 2025 at Campsite #F1
The camp host was great! Very helpful, kept the bathrooms very clean, and was always available to answer any questions or pass on important information!
@CrestaF1CDB273 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #C6
The campers across the road were incredibly rude, appointing themselves as the campground cops. Their yappy little mutt was also very annoying. The campground itself was very nice. Problem is, you can't control the morons around you.
@KeithJ4436314 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #C5
Great clean campsite! We loved it and the river!
@WendyA1441D690 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #F13

@ArthurP5590055 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #F10
Great campground along the river. Clean vault toilets, and water was nearby.

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.
