I am sure the site is wonderful, but we needed to change dates tried 4, 3, and 2 days before with errors in the app and on website. Called, and after spending about 30 min waiting on phone, the person couldnt help me. Lost our money. Frustrating the sites error costs me money and representative couldnt help.

very clean campgrounds, the park attendants are always very nice and helpful if needed. There is enough room between campgrounds you have quit and peacefulness. We will always stay at Bucksaw.

Campsite was clean and close to the water. Bucksaw is one of our favorite campgrounds.

We love camping here the park attendants are so nice. Always explain what to expect if there is a weather emergency. So helpful the park is clean the facilities are clean. It is a great place to camp and enjoy nature and the lake. We are return campers for the last 2years and plan to keep returning until we cant drive or pull the camper anymore.

Bucksaw is a great place to stay but wish there were more full hookups and wish the check in/out times were different. Maybe 3pm instead of 6pm!!!!!!
Excellent
@DennisM8587674 · Camped on Sep 15, 2025 at Campsite #B38
We enjoy camping at Bucksaw. The bathrooms are kept clean and the grounds themselves are well maintained. There are usually pleanty of sites to choose from. We like the C-loop because it has full hookups, but if we are only staying a few days we will go to B-Loop because of the view of the lake and the bluffs. They are beautiful at sunset. The only drawback is there is only water and electricity there. We go there 3 or 4 times a year and I would recommend it. My only complaint is no full hookups in B- or A-loops. Please put in sewer hook-ups.

We love visiting this area. We had 2 11 year old grandchildren with us and they had a blast. The area was clean the neighboring campers were very respectful and friendly. We always look forward to visiting this resort.

Definitely the best park on Truman lake. It's very clean and has the best lake view of all the state campgrounds.

Bucksaw is a great place to spend 1 night or a whole week. The camp hosts are great to help if any problems arise. grounds are kept clean and mowed. Seems like visiting family when you go.

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.
@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!!!
