Buckhorn Hunt Camp

We stayed here middle of March and it was a wonderful stay. We were concerned about access as it had rained just prior but no problem even with our 31 foot Winnebago. I would suggest taking Forest Road 360 from 267 in vs. Forest Road 367/366 from 267, as this route is longer and at the time had some standing water to navigate. For some reason Google does not show 360 as a route to take.

This spot was wonderful. We parked it here for two weeks and it was so quiet and peaceful. There was one other guy here the entire time. He kept to himself. A few other overnight campers stopped in but were gone within a night or two. Plenty of space to spread out.

We had great solar as our panels are moveable. It's about 30-45 minutes into town for supplies depending on which town you venture into.

No issues getting in or out and there was plenty of rain during our stay.

Not a lot to do nearby but a great place to park it, enjoy the national forest sunsets, listen to the birds, and have peace.

Also we had cell/internet service here, no problem. We have AT&T through Cricket. Also enjoyed exploring around the forest roads via Jeep and on foot.

While we were here there was a large dumpster, it was full - as a word of caution. Otherwise no facilities, no water, or bathrooms. Perfect for boondocking.

The road coming in is HORRIBLE. I had to turn on my 4wheel drive and I was legit worried my 14ft camper was going to flip or be damaged. The road I took in was 360 from 267. 1 to 2 foot deep ditches filled with water and they span the entire road in most areas. nowhere to turn around!! the 2 mile road took me about an hour to get down carefully. Know your abilities before coming in. I work remotely so wifi is the hardest thing for me to find sometimes. This forest is really a dead zone. This camp has 2 bars verizon consistently but I did find two spots with 3 bars if you walk around...but that's come and go. At&t is crap here haha. The site is great for solar with minimal trees. It's quiet and beautiful. Really great for bird watching! The thing is it's not by anything. No lakes or hiking trails just sandy roads you can walk on. I just needed a free place to stay on my travels for a week while working and the birds kept me entertained with a variety of really cool species. There are coopers hawks nesting here! If I were looking to do more recreational things I would have paid the cheap price for a campsite closer to the lake or something.
dumpster and a fire ring (no bathroom and no dump station. call prior because maybe it's different during hunting season). The 3 bars of verizon is by those two landmarks btw if you can find it.

We was alone here and we had a veeeery good time with campfire and our dogs.

There is a dumping station and a dixie restroom. We had no problems with AT&T allways connection.

I don’t know where the other person was driving with the other Review but there was just 2 miles of bumping roads and mostly it was good to drive, just 3-4 huge holes.

There is a lot wood for a campfire and there are allready 3-4 fireplaces.

The only minus point... there are SWAAAAARM of mosquitoes.. don’t come without spray, candle and campfire. Also if one of this 3 things isn’t there you will have lot of mosquitoes.

One of my favorite dirt camping places of our 4’000 miles journey.

There were about 6 other groups when I got here. It is a hunt camp so mostly hunters. They brought dog trailers packed with hound dogs that were barking and baying at all hours - par for the course but bear in mind. Couldn’t hear road noise. Obviously when the hunters went out, you’d hear gunfire and whatnot.

There is room for almost any size setup to get situated.

No water. No electric. Dry camp.

Actual campground is fairly flat. The road to get to there is AWFUL. Roughly 30 minutes of bumpy dirt road full of HUGE holes. Your suspension will take a beating unless your vehicle is meant for that.

There was one porta potty that is serviced weekly. No trash cans so pack in/out. I did see one group having nightly fires so there is at least one fire pit. Was fairly clean (no garbage seen).

AT&T service was spotty on a lot of the road in/out but decent at campsite.
Would stay again were it not for the road in/out being such a liability.
