Buffalo KOA

We stayed at the Buffalo Wyoming KOA in August 2021. This is a very nice KOA park and in fact was our favorite KOA that we have visited. This is a family run KOA that has done some pretty incredible upgrades to this resort. Upon arrival, we were placed in a private site along a babbling brook. It was fantastic sitting outside at any time of day or night and listen to the water running by just outside our door. This park offers FHU sites that are very spacious. A number of sites that even run right beside the river. There is river beach access for everyone. The best park WiFi we have ever used, a nice pool and awesome gated dog run. It was lovely walking around the park in the evening talking to our fellow campers. Wonderful family run park which we highly recommend.

Very nice KOA. Nice layout. Easy access. Gravel pads level. Took our reservation two days out. Only had a 30amp left. Okay by us.

Combat Vet Motorcycle Association in town. No more space. Did not feel cramped. Family run RV Park. Very nice folks. Quiet.

Great laundry, pool, showers, restrooms, cabins, trout stream on site, volleyball, group picnic areas, gift shop, and streaming WIFI.

Buffalo is a very nice place with lots to do and a gateway to the Bighorn Mountains.

Nothing real to speak of. Expensive for what you get. $56 for 30A service, gravel site and backin site. Only stayed because was here with friends. I would have stayed down the road for half the price and 50A service.
But, that said, the staff was very nice and I was able to pick up a package I had shipped there.
Power went out for over an hour at my friend's site. It was warm when we arrived so not sure if that was a factor. They were also full as a wind storm was pushing all RVs to get off the road.
ATT internet was good

Cons: Sites need gravel. Grass should be graveled if not irrigated. A little noisy. Pool closed? Water pressure low.
Pros: Wifi worked good. Good for overnight stay before heading over mountain.
Hwy 16 is well paved. Grades not that scary at all. Beautiful drive to Ten Sleep.
Other: If doing the Crazy Woman Canyon rent an ATV. The road in the canyon is almost one lane. Museum in Buffalo and Big Horn were great. Take the Briton home tour at the museum.
Nice dry camping areas just up Hwy 16 from Buffalo.

As with most KOA campgrounds, the nightly price is too high. The driveways are spaced about 25 feet apart which provides for a very small campsite. I have stayed at much nicer campgrounds with similar amenities for 40% less. You are within earshot of your neighbors. The water was good; electricity ample. The WiFi was excellent; 25 MBPS download speed. I was close to the office and and it was during the late afternoon; a slow time for web use.
The highway is close by and heavily traveled. There are a lot of lights that are on all night too so blackout shades are a good idea. Bathrooms and showers were modern and clean. The office was closed the entire time I was there.
I only stayed one night. Next time I will try to find a campground that is quieter, darker and a more reasonable price.

The KOA is in a good location and the nearby town is nice. It was too windy to use our big WeBoost, but the cell service on ATT and Verizon was good enough to work from.

Unfortunately there was loud construction with multiple dump trucks and other loud vehicles, complete with the loud back up beeping, all week, all day long. It was nearly impossible to work, even with all our windows shut. It also took away from any potential peaceful atmosphere. It was disappointing that management did not do anything to try to compensate for the loud noise. We even paid to upgrad to a better spot (before we know about the extent of the construction). Probably wouldn’t have bothered if we knew it would be so loud.
