We had a wonderful time at Buck Creek. Our favorite part was discovering that the pit toilets smelled so nice! Never had that experience before and it was due to the efforts of our Camp Host, Rob. We met him the day we were leaving as he was emptying the trash for the second time while we were there. He works so hard to keep this camp looking good. There was no trash around or broken bottles. We hope he gets to continue keeping this campground the best. We were fooled by the lovely paved road to get to the campground as it eventually ended and we had a potholed 15 mile ride towing our tiny trailer. We broke one coffee cup, but next time we know to secure everything. The campsite itself was just above the creek and so incredibly beautiful. We hiked, we fished, we collected rocks and had so much fun. It was so peaceful and very few people there. Loved it and will be back. Just slow down on the dirt road. Shout out to Rob for working so hard!

Normally I would rate this a 5 star. I love this rustic campsite because it's quiet, serene and secluded off the beaten path. When I booked my site, I picked the last site in a dead end loop so I'd have some privacy. But 5 different families decided to break the rules and camp on sites that are officially closed and not reservable!!! Some even camped at site that has been closed in YEARS. Another family took a site that has the best view in the campsite even though it has been closed for a few years. Just doesn't seem fair to the folks that follow the rules and reserved it ahead of time. There was a new sign up as you drive in stating that ALL SITES ARE RESERVABLE. In previous years, there was a camp host to regulate these things but no camp host in site all weekend. Not even a ranger to check on things.

My family has been camping at Buck Creek for over 40 years. I understand that with the devastation of the early 2000's that the campground suffered much - and there are a lot of sites no longer available, but every year there is less and less sites available. We come with a big group and had stayed at sites 6, 7 and 8 for years - then when they were damaged and not repaired, we went with #5 & 4 and then this past year, 2019, #5 was closed down - leaving only 3 sites on this side of the campground. There was no camp host on site and over the course over 6 days, only saw him once. Outhouses needed attention and especially toilet paper, fortunately we always travel with our own. So sad that there are no funds/programs to keep this great part of the Baker National Forest up and running.

We had a lot of fun camping at Buck Creek. The grounds were nice and our spot had a nice and secluded feel about it. The roads getting to the camp area is really bad and saw a couple of people who got flat tires due to the horrible road conditions (huge pot holes). It would be nice if the other spots that were damaged by flooding a couple of years ago would get fixed to open up spots.
