One of the best state parks I have used. Great lake views, paved streets, really nice paved parking pads, not crowded, treed lots. I wish I had more days to stay.

not enough amps on electric to run electric grill. 15 amps way to small

Site was very clean. Bathrooms were clean as well. Would definitely recommend.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Cut trip short due to a burn ban imposed (by county) the first morning there - but we'll be back.

We had a great time, pretty view!

The park was not well maintenanced. Grass around RV needed mowing/weedeating badly.

Great spot for larger RV pull through. Great breezes and shade. Easy access to walk and take in the surroundings. We even saw a bald eagle dive into the lake for his fish dinner.. that was exciting!!

Buckhorn is our favorite place to camp. We live on the Spring Hill area of Longview and only a 45 minute drive. We have several sites that are our favorites. The Sunset's here are always so beautiful. The park is well kept and clean restrooms and showers. Great [place to meet people and everyone is always so friendly. We camp here on average 6 times a year. Thank you for such a wonderful campground.

Buckhorn Creek Campground is a beautiful, clean and peaceful park. The sites are mostly level, long and generously spaced apart. Some sites are shaded and the row that borders the lake are really special. If you want full service sites, however, you are limited to the "E" ring that doesn't offer quite the views or shade of the sites closest to the lake. Overall, a great experience and one I will gladly do again!

The campsites need to be mowed more often I always bring a mower and had to mow my own site grass was almost as tall as the electric box

Need to mow around campsites more often as some of the grass is tall
@KrissyJ5295C9E · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #E124
Nice quiet campground. Only complaint is they do NOT believe in weedeating! The weeds were as tall as our table so we could not use it. It was this way at most of the sites.
@MikeD2668364 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #E140
Campsites with a beautiful view of the lake. Deck boards need to be replaced sometime soon though. Great stay

Nice quiet park
@DwightT1C0BD9C · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #E139
We spent 3 days at Buckhorn, it was very peaceful. Very nice campsites, not crowded together. The grounds were clean and well taken care of. My only complaint would be that i wish the ground keepers would spend more time clearing the weeds & brush closer to the lake. But it is a very nice park and will most definitely come back.
@carrolt19E889C · Camped on Sep 10, 2025 at Campsite #E118
We have been visiting this park for 10 years at least 3 or 4 times a year. The restrooms and showers are in need of an upgrade. Or at least a thorough cleaning and de-bugging. The only time it was worse when the buzzards were roosting on top of one of the facilities. Thanks
@Elisabeth99269 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #E124
The site was mostly level, good water pressure and the couple at check in were very nice. The grass was pretty grown up all around the campground, and ours actually had "goathead" stickers right where we would walk, sit and around the firepit, but I pulled what I could so that we didn't get them in the dogs paws. They did come around to spray for weeds, but it would have been nice if it had been mowed before hand. We were there right at a holiday, so that might have been the issue. Overall, we plan on going back again.

We enjoyed our stay and the sunsets. When booking online I went by descriptions and pictures. We rented E111. It said full shade and it was full sun. The 3 shade trees had been cut down.
@ToddR1327438 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #E140
Awesome place to stay with great sunsets over the lake.
@HarryL8058546 · Camped on Jul 22, 2025 at Campsite #E124
We have always enjoyed our stays at Buckhorn campground but this last visit we found our campsite and the entire area was overgrown with tall grass and weeds. The area had not been mowed in some time and was not maintained at the high standards we have know for Corps of Engineer Campgrounds. The grounds were finally mowed on our last day but it was very spotty and many areas were skipped completely. We were saddened to see the deterioration of the campground and hope they get it resolved for our next visit.
@GreggM4231733 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #E116
Weve stayed at this campground before and enjoyed our stay. However, it has been neglected this year. It had been mowed prior to our arrival, but no one has used a weedeater on this property in quite some time.
@SherryD2C826EA · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #E139
Had a great time
@LouisePFDA8ACE · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #E206
Mowing in this park was terrible. Although the Park Rangers came the second day and started mowing, Stacy was great and mow were we had a large coming in which help a lot. She did a great job.Thanks so Much
@BrandonT360455 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #E125
If you plan on visiting, bring your weed-eater and lawn mower. The grass was high and unkept.

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.

@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!!!
