This campground (CG) was easy to find. Because it was a Tuesday during the off-season, the check-in gate was not open, so we proceeded back to site 24, which was electric only (50/30/20 AMP) for our two-night stay. This small state park has many trees, but with the road being wide enough, the trees weren't in the way, and with no ditch this was an easy back-in. The sites here are also nicely spaced. A park ranger came by later and gave us our post and vehicle tags. There was highway and train noise. There are mature trees in the CG, but we were able to get enough north sky for Starlink. On Verizon, we got 3 bars. There is potable water at the dump station, which is at the park entrance. The shower/restroom facility was in good shape and clean. We enjoyed the trails, some interpretative, around this state park. As the nights were cooler, we opened our bedroom windows and noticed that trains ran almost continuously through the night. Overall, we had a good visit and would consider staying here again.

Decent little state park. Electric worked. Some large trees on edge of RV circle. Path to river (which is very low due to drought) near tent sites. Showers and Restrooms clean. Do make sure you know your site number as the staff isn’t there past 4?

Overall Rating
This is a small campground with small sites. Our 34’ rig just fit into the site. Not to mention that we had to change sites due to low hanging trees.
Campsite parking area mostly dirt, grass and a little gravel.
At one time this was probably a nice campground but really needs some TLC and updating.

Quiet campsite, great trails with excellent signage, beautiful prairie. It was unfortunate that the pool was closed but like a lot of places there are not enough lifeguards. Very nice bathhouse!

Buffalo River State Park and campground is our first Minnesota State Park. Nicely maintained by the State of Minnesota, The Nature Conservancy and Minnesota State University, the park features hiking trails, swimming, picnic area and the Minnesota State University Moorhead Regional Science Center.
The bathhouse is relatively new and very well maintained. Our Verizon service was very good.
We're here just after Labor Day and there are very few people in the campground.

We camped here on Sept 4, 2018. Camping fee is $25 and then you have to buy a $7 car sticker. After spending 20 minutes trying to contact the phone in reservation service we gave up got a site. The host finally got in contact with the reservation people after 30 more minutes then brought his phone to our site so we could reserve the site for the night. Great camp host, lousy reservation service. You can hear the railroad in the night and the highway. The camping is very open but there are trees overhead. They did have electric and water.
