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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
@DorianneP65DCF · Camped on May 13, 2024 at Campsite #49
while I LOVED being Water side, the small things kinda ruined it.. big HUGE Recluses and RED ants in the tree. Dead fish along the bank from the Lamprey...so the smell was horrible, I asked a park ranger if I could move it to the reeds..they said no...and the kosquitos....horrible evem with repellwnt candle spray and fire going....so this site not my favorites
@KatieH5575086 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #18
We come here every month. This time we brought our bikes and road 39 miles around the campgrounds and roads.
@ShaneC91DAE3B5 · Camped on May 4, 2024 at Campsite #54
The Lake was full, the hills were green, the fish were bitin' and the water was warm. The trails are perfect... the restroom clean - what more can I say? I love this place in the springtime!
@GingerFBEE5EED · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #57
Loved it!!! A perfect spot for a trailer, tent a no go, fishing was amazing!!!
@JanaL4FC627574 · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #51

@CharlesB214095 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #30
nice campground toilet needs to be fixed in mens john/ still plugged up since last year
@ShawnK3077B6D4 · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #42
Had a great time. All three rangers we had contact with were really nice. The gal even came back the next day with a trail map that she took the time to print. Sites are clean. Mosquitoes had their way with us, but we are in their world. Second time to camp here. Will be back again.
@RhondaM2764057 · Camped on Apr 17, 2024 at Campsite #31
Great camping spots, well maintained.
@KennethA818800 · Camped on Apr 5, 2024 at Campsite #57
Was a very nice campground
@MarkT6244236 · Camped on Apr 1, 2024 at Campsite #12
Beautiful campground with trails and plenty of places to ride bikes. Difficulty leveling the RVs due to the hilly terrain. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.
@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Mar 24, 2024 at Campsite #11
Beautiful campground. The generator for water was near the restrooms but we were in site 11 and couldnt hear it. Very peaceful.
@ErikJ285432213 · Camped on Mar 16, 2024 at Campsite #14
This is a nice campground but its not great to be charged full price when theres no running water or bathrooms available. Plus listening to the on-site generator running all night - doing what?

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
