Buffalo Outdoor Center RV Park

We had a great experience here. Stayed for three nights in spot #13. Park is one of a kind with the level concrete pull thru sites. Obviously makes setup a breeze. They have trash pickup which is very nice to not have to worry about finding the dumpster etc.. view was amazing, though we would say the upper sites 1-6 have the edge on the view. Bath house was also unbelievable, with tiled showers with plenty of room and very clean. Great hiking all around. We would point out that if you are looking to canoe on the buffalo river, they only go until around mid to end of June in this area. You have to go down to St Joe AK in July (around an hour away) to canoe. We only got one bar on Verizon (though we saw some others say they got a couple), but internet at the park was solid and allowed any streaming and work we needed to do. We would recommend to anyone that’s looking to be in the area as a great place to stay.

We initially booked site 7 - closest to the barn.. as we thought this would offer the best views. However, we only booked 2 nights. When we decided (site unseen) that we should stay 3 nights - we called because the online reservation wouldn't let us make changes. They graciously offered to switch our site to 3 - which was closer to the laundry/bath house. We were disappointed but decided to make the best of it. OH HOW WE LOVED SITE 3!! It sat a little higher up than the latter sites.. and it offered (we felt) a most spectacular view over looking the Ozark Mtns! Their bathhouse was AMAZINGINGLY clean and SPA like and we took advantage of it a couple of nights, even though we had full hookups. The sites were spacious enough - where we could pull in and position ourselves enough away from others to take advantage of the privacy and the views. MOST DEFINITELY will make it a routine visit.

Plenty of hiking trails that were offered on check-in. We also drove over to the buffalo bison camp and rented a ATV 4 wheel vehicle and rode the trails - and THAT was worth any thrill seeking riders dream!! A MUST DO. Plenty of fishing and kayaking opportunities and even rafting/swimming or whatever water activity you seek.

We stayed at Buffalo outdoor center from sun-thu (6/13 to 6/17). All sites are full hookup and our spot worked flawlessly (water, power, sewage), no issues. It was really hot (90’s) and there was no shade at all. However since the park is on a hill we did get a nice breeze constantly. we didn’t use restrooms or showers. Their wifi worked great. I was able to use it for emails, browsing and some light video watching). Internet speed varies from 3 to 20 mpbs so good enough for average internet use.

Cell reception for Verizon was good (2-3 bars)

I stayed here in November, 2020.

Don't put your awning out but pull out a chair and check out the world around you. The drive in and out if a bit steep and as a new RVer, it was a bit intimidating but today I'd probably be just fine. Close to lots of hiking spots. Didn't use bathhouse but spots were well maintained.

Was able to work here using my phone's hotspot.

This campground is super nice. The showers are nice, but we did not use them because we had a full hookup site.

This place is like a sun island. You will just bake all day long in the summer. This place desperately needs some fast growing trees (silver maple, sycamore, tulip poplar....).

The price is the main factor that prevents us from coming back here often. This is double what we pay at other area campgrounds for a water/electric site.

We stay here to use the new downhill trail.
