“Older USACOE Park Needing TLC”

Well laid out (typical COE) with spacious sites. FHU and big rig capabilities but roads are narrow and turns somewhat sharp but doable.
Grass cutting is ignored with resultant bugs everywhere.
Trash bins only located at park entrance which is remote from campsites.
Sites can be dirty if it rains.

AT&T cell service is marginal, 0-2 bars of 5G; 0-3 bars of 4G. Cell service was intermittent, sometimes OK sometimes non-existent.

Labor Day weekend and place was packed! We were going to be late staff called to confirm we were coming and made sure no one tried to slide into our spot. Great spot to go with family. Lost of fishing, kayaking and swimming. Not very noisy for a holiday weekend. Definitely will return!!

We stayed at Bucksaw from October 8 to October 16, 2020. We had a full hookup site and we were very happy with it. Our site was close to another site, which we wanted as we were camping with family. I noticed that sites that were not "buddy sites" were quite spacious on both sides. The campground is well maintained, safe and quiet. Even when it filled up on the weekend everyone was quiet and respectful of their neighbors. All of the staff that we interacted with were friendly and helpful.

We spent one mid-September weeknight here as part of a 7-day road trip through the midwest. Being a weekday, there were plenty of open spaces and they seemed moderately well spaced.
Our site, B29 was very close to the lakefront beach and featured a moderately level gravel pad with 30-amp electrical hookup. There are sites available at Bucksaw with water and electric. Also, we noted some of the sites had nicely done concrete pads, but those were labeled as ADA accessible sites.
There were water spigots throughout the park in common areas where RV'ers could fill up their tanks. These were well spaced throughout the campground along roadways and near the restrooms / showers and also at the dump station.
We used the dump station, which is located near the campground entrance station, and it was clean and in good condition.
We did not see any shower facilities, but we may have just missed them if there are any. The bathrooms were clean and in good repair.
The only downside from our perspective was the lack of Verizon coverage .... but this is hardly the Army Corps' fault. We had 3 bars of unboosted ATT LTE service and all we could muster from Verizon was "NO SERVICE".
All-in-all, we would be happy to make a brief stay here again, but since I quite often have to work while on the road, chances are the lack of solid Verizon signal would keep us from staying more nights.
It seemed they were accepting guests on a first come first served basis for vacant and unreserved sites, but guests who want to ensure they have a spot waiting for them should use www.recreation.gov to make reservations up to 6 months prior to their arrival date.
