Buckhorn Campground

The first night we arrived someone blasted music all night long. We were camped near the camp host but they ignored the noise. The second night a man & woman went into the women's shower around 11:30 and started blasting music in the bathroom while taking their showers, yelling to each other and making other noise. Once again the camp host did nothing (their camper is across from the bathrooms in Loop D so they had to hear it). I finally stuck my head in the bathroom and told them to turn the music off and quiet down or I was going to call a park ranger. I didn't like leaving my little sister (9) alone in the tent, but I didn't want her to wake up and hear their vulgar language and noise. Thankfully they believed my bluff--the park doesn't provide any contact numbers (besides 911 for an emergency). When I spoke to a ranger the day we left, she blew it off blaming off season reduced staffing and said I should have woke the camp host up to deal with it. I told her all of this happened near the camp host and they ignored it. We'll probably camp somewhere else the next time we visit the area.

This is just a review of the Buckhorn campground. There’s loops A-D. I personally have only ever stayed at loop C and loop D. Last year we stayed in loop D. It is mostly tent sites with only a handful of RV sites. To my knowledge none of the RV sites in D have sewer hookups. Just water and electric. The bathrooms/bathhouse is super nice, and CLEAN. Loop D has a great swim beach as well.
This last weekend we took our new RV and stayed in loop C. Site 81. It is the first part of January so it wasn’t full by any means but there were more folks there than I expected to see. Our site was good, but there are better views at other ones. If you look at my photos I labeled what I thought were the best sites for a water view.
The only RV slip that I saw with sewer hook up in loop C was the camp host site, for obvious reasons.
I was really impressed with how well thought out the handicap accessible sites were. I give the designer major kudos for that.
AT&T cell service sucks, but when you go camping you’re supposed to relax and not spend all your time on your phone anyway.
This is one of my top 5 campgrounds in Oklahoma.

We stayed 2 nights at Buckhorn Campground loop D. Loop D was available as first come first serve for all sites. According to the website loop C also should've been first come but all the sites said reservation required. We had good neighbors who weren't too loud and the park was fairly empty this time of year. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. The showers have solar heated water which produced a perfect temperature water. They are on a timed cycle.

We weren't able to find a ton of stuff to do this time of year (march). The streams had high levels of bacteria and recommended not swimming. The mineral springs were basically dry. The lake had mean looking geese surrounding the swim area. The nature center at the north side of the park was very nice and a good place to spend an hour or two. The sunsets were beautiful, and being under the trees was nice. The camp host was very friendly and supplied free fire wood to everyone. Some spots were tight for us to back into with our 16ft trailer and many were not very level but nothing we couldn't handle. It wasn't a big deal for us to level the trailer.

We've camped at a few places so it wasn't our first experience but definitely worst so far. Beautiful grounds but the campers here are very inconsiderate, disrespectful and rude making alot of noise non stop including a barking dog crying baby, drunk partying college kids, teens and other unsupervised kids as well as adults walking almost into our site to access their boat to go fishing at 8pm, amidst at least 3 loud radios playing rap, tejano and hip hop all day and night. We drove over 3 hrs to get there, setup camp, ate some hotdogs and tried to enjoy peace and quiet and a little privacy only to be subjected to childish, inconsiderate, loud idiots who caused us and another family to pack up and leave before 9pm. The woman in the golf cart whose job is to enforce rules, if they have any, failed to try to keep anyone quiet and there are no signs either. There also is no cell service there so if there's an emergency you're screwed. We wont return and recommend saving your money and camping elsewhere.

Picking a spot took some time as most of the sites are not level. It rained the entire time we were here which was a let down because of the beautiful view out to the water. We spent most of our time inside our rig.
Sadly, when we went to the restrooms early in the morning (it was still dark) they were locked and had a sign saying to use the family restroom. When we got to the family restroom there was no light inside. Yikes. Thankfully we had flashlights.
Maybe our stay here would have been better if it were a different season.
