Safe and secluded. We felt comfortable leaving our property unattended during the day. The sights and nature were beautiful.

Had site 9. Level site side to side. Paved pull through with gravel patio area. No hookups but water fill is next to site but would need a long hose if trying to fill from site. 32 foot fifth wheel and full size crew cab truck fit no problem. Verizon service good.

The campground is well laid out with nice spacing between sites. For us tent campers; however the B loop is too close to the many trucks on the highway. We ended up requesting a change of site from the host. The host was so helpful and kind. We moved to loop G which is deeper in and much quieter for tent campers

Exceptionally clean. The camp hosts are on the job every day making sure that things are how they should be. It's a very convenient very well put together camp all in all a great experience.

Buffalo campground is a great place to stay. The weekends are busy but the weekdays are quiet and relaxing. Hosts are friendly and courteous but hold campers to accountability to rules. The restrooms are clean and water is easily available. There is much to do in close proximity. There are 7 paved roads through the campgrounds that are good for biking. There is a road to the river for enjoyment. Have stayed there several times. Highly recommended. Stay wild, get out and enjoy .

We loved it there! So beautiful and there was great space between campsites. Definitely going back!
@CarolM9915509 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #F8
Great area. Plan to float the buffalo right from your campsite. Slow shallow river. SUP works great., as do tubes, kayaks its not crowded like Big Springs river.

@JohnP1604489 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #C2
Very clean campground with nice paved roads. Bathrooms are clean and well taken care of. I do wish there was loops other than C-loop that had electricity.
@Elmerf8D04EE54 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #B4
The camp host needs to make sure everything was clean ( camp sites restrooms ) .
@ColleenF187708 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #C16
This was a fantastic location outside of Yellowstone's West entrance. The park is spacious, and the the tent site had a nice sand pad for my tent. It also had a table, fire pit, and bbq. The restrooms were clean and located throughout. This campground is also located on a river with a small wooden "dock" with stairs on each side so you can go swimming or floating. It was about 25 minutes away from the West Entrance of Yellowstone, allowing me to get an early start into the park. I also drove south into The Grand Tetons while staying here, it was a full day but very do-able. There were mosquitos so bring your repellant. The camp host and other guests were friendly without being intrusive, which was appreciated. Water was located throughout the park also. I would definitely stay here again.
@JohnR2194126 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #F10
Nice campground with sites separated from each other.
@BrittanyT233BB · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #F6
The grounds were well kept and it was easy to access. Great place to spend the weekend. The mosquitos werent fun but they went away when the nighttime temps dropped. We visited in mid-June so bring bug spray. We met great people there!
@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #C16
Stayed in C loop because it has power-we have been going for 10 years - best camp ground in Island Park- stayed in site 16 - room for 28 5th wheel - truck - suv and ATV trailer in the site - hosts are great - rest rooms are spotless
@JaniceW2514803 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #C17

@KeithJ4436314 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #C10
Beautiful campground on the river. Everything is very well maintained!
@LarryL7664136 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #C11
Quiet, beautiful and peaceful.... great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of work, school or whatever else you need a break from. Clean campground. Good services, great camp hosts... only wish the fish were biting!
@FrancescaAA781 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #B12
We camped here to be close to the west entrance of Yellowstone NP. This is the nicest and best cared for campground I have ever camped in! The camp host was attentive, kind and very helpful. The bathrooms were clean and the spaces were clean and well maintained! Would definitely camp here again
@LarryN3972868 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #C11
The experience was good
@TrinketteCF631 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #F16
We originally made reservations in F loop which has no electricity. Upon arriving, we looked into C loop which has electricity. We found one site in C that was available and we were able to move into it instead. The site, C07 was a pull through and shaded. The campsite was very quiet and clean.We did hear some traffic noise from the main road but it wasn't bad. The restrooms were pretty clean as well. The camp host, Janet was a nice lady and very accommodating. We are picky with which campgrounds we will stay at and this one was great. Will likely stay there again.
@GeorgeM2930002 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #C8
Nice camp ground, very clean. Nice host, all good there.
@DonZ4434509 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #C5
Only wish the water bibs were closer to spaces some are just to far to fill water tanks.
@BlakeC3534886 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #F14
We were next to the outhouse, and the smell was bad at certain times, but still had a great time
@StevenA2029523 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #C16
Janet was extremely helpful during the stay. Will miss her.

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.
