It was a clean campsite, it had good bathrooms with showers. It was very gorgeous.

The sites were awesome! However, the toilet facilities were not! The bathrooms ran out of toilet paper on the second day of our trip and we had to go into town to buy some for the next two days. One of the toilets in the main bathrooms was clogged in the men's bathroom and unusable. No one came around to check them or clean during the period we were there. On the bright side we didn't allow that to affect our time there and had an amazing time! The sites were clean and the camp was awesome!! We will be back again!! One of our favorite places to visit!! Thank You!!

There was a large generator being used by the campground operators at Buckhorn. It was terribly noisy and forced us to move to escape the noise. Greatly impacted our experience in a negative way.

The Buckhorn Recreation Area is a quiet and convenient place for an overnight stay, especially for those visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park. Although there is no electricity at the campsite, this doesnt pose a significant issue for most visitors. The facilities include a clean restroom with water and lighting, as well as a shower room, which adds convenience to the stay.Its worth noting that only one area within the campground allows for car camping, so be mindful of this when making reservations. The lack of generator noise contributes to a peaceful atmosphere, making it easy to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.Overall, Buckhorn Recreation Area is a great option for a tranquil overnight experience close to nature, with easy access to essential amenities.

After parking in space 13 at Buckhorn as we had several times over the last 17 years, we were told that that we had to reposition in the opposite direction. This put our door on the street side instead of the 'picnic' side with a view of the dump site instead of the lake. VERY DISAPPOINTING! Or we could search for another site online. So we will not be using 13 again.

This time bathrooms were clean. Park ranger very nice

@CindyS1337188 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #53

Beautiful surprise of a campground. Almost empty of people. Good stargazing . Water level low in October. Clean bathrooms. Many of the sites are not level at all, but we moved to am empty level site after talking to the host.

@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #49

It would have been really nice to know that the water and electric were shut off before we arrived. It was especially disappointing to find out it had been off for TWO MONTHS before our reservation.

@JackB3458296 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #21

Everything was good as expected. I enjoyed the stay.Only suggestion is to trim up a few low limbs at the entry to the hill to avoid rv damage.thanksJack

@TammyR4052021 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #33

Great place to relax. Love seeing deer grazing.

@vanessaB521F87 · Camped on Sep 21, 2024 at Campsite #7

Perfect for a weekend getaway. We stayed right on top of the hill by the boat ramp and it was Perfect.

@HannahWF7A56BD · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #50

Great views. Easy to book. Well maintained facilities.

@ST5822387C2C11 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #21

Was great. Felt safe, facilities were clean

@DebraS6269368 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #16

Good location for dark sky star gazing as long as nearby campers dont have bright lights on. Plenty of sites.

@AbramBD3A45117 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #48

Amazing Campsite, clean, and beautiful. We will be coming back soon!

@DavidE92CAD2F5 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #35

Bathrooms need some attention.

@MichaelaB8EF11 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #34

The toilets were completely filthy and a human hazard, with feces all over.

@DavidO4885909 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #34

Many wonderful waterfront camp sites. Look at the camp maps to assist in selection.

@TannerP3A20219 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #6

We just spent one night in sight 6 with our 24 camper and we had a good experience. Didnt really have neighbors too close and had a great view of the lake. It only took a couple minutes to get down to the water, however, there arent a lot of places to sit and relax for the day (i.e. not many beach spots) close by. The site itself was mostly level side to side but our back stabilizers were nearly fully extended (with blocks) and the front ones we barely had to put out. The water spigot is close-by but in an awkward spot where other folks were skirting the boundary of our campsite to get to. Its close to the bathrooms/showers which we didnt use much, they were mostly clean but were inundated with insects. Note: there were LOTS of bugs everywhere when in late May and early June.

@LieseF3418892B · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #1

Love the view of our site. The wind blows off the lake and keeps you cool all night long. The trees have grown so much they provide great shading. This is our 2nd time going for 3 nights and 4 days. Definitely doing it again next year. We had 4 boats, a wave runner and 2 kayaks. Our group was around 50 people. Lots of fishing, tubing, swimming.

@KeithK1584248 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #30

Very well-maintained facility overall. Bathrooms and showers were clean although no TP in the bathroom one day. Lots of areas along the lakeshore to enjoy. We had the misfortune of being there when a local boat club was there with their super loud speedboats. They felt compelled to show off how loud and it spoiled the day for everyone else.

@MarthaK4151336 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #8

Even though the generator behind the restroom was constantly going , the noise level was very doable and became part of the background sounds. Nice to have a shower and flush toilets! Lake is very full so some of our Hobie Fleet weed whacked to create a clearer beaching area. All was well.

@marjoriet0FE5C · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #55

Spent a beautiful long weekend here. The kids had a ball wake and knee boarding and the adults enjoyed a relaxed great weekend. The park was nice and we enjoyed all the respectful campers. The skeeters, however, were out in full force and they seem to love insect repellant.

@AlanA34C954352 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #57

AS always our camping at Buckhorn camp site at BlackButte Lake has been a lot of fun. Lots of swimming other water sports, bbqing laughter story telling. We have camped at Buckhorn campground many times over the years and always had a wonderful time.

@RyanC6963071 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #38

Water level was very high so we launched out paddle boards from the campsite and it was quiet with few guests mid week! Great first visit!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@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!!!
