Buffalo Valley Camping

As with all of our arrivals, I pulled up next to the office and walked inside to register. Before I could get out a good natured "hello", the staff called me by name and welcomed me to the park. I knew immediately that they knew what they were doing and were good at it.

We were led to our site which was at the top of a hill and under a group of large pine trees and there was plenty of space between sites so, it didn't feel crowded. The campground has a few sections which were built so far from each other that they appeared to be completely separate campgrounds. Each one seemed to accommodate different camping requirements. For example, there seemed to be one section reserved for seasonal campers and another section for full-hookup.

Our section had more of the transient and longer-stay guests, but not seasonal. Our section also had water/electric, but no sewer. That wasn't a problem because the campground operates a vacuum truck to empty tanks on site. Our section was also within a couple hundred yards to a group of buildings which included an event space, a restaurant with a view, and a shower facility.

The showers were clean, and provided ample hot water and pressure at 50 cents for 4 minutes.

We work from the road and use a GTEN router with unlimited Verizon service and a Cudy-6660 router with ATT. Both services worked well from our site.

We stayed here so that a long lost relative could visit. It's a really nice area, plenty of trees, a small lake, and access to a major paved trail for bikes and walking. The dogs were very happy. The campground staff were nice. Shopping within 10 miles.

The site was nice backing in, with trees behind. 50A/water, dropped a star because they do have FHU, but not in the section we stayed in. There is a single dump on the exit near the restaurant, which means there was a small line when leaving. i-35 is a short drive away, but we can't hear it from the campground.

Overall a pleasant stay.

WiFi was pretty much non-existent for me.

We enjoyed our stay at Buffalo Valley Campground. It was pretty quiet and peaceful, even though the I-35 freeway is just a short distance away. Campground is well kept and offers many amenities including a restaurant and bar (Buffalo House). Sites are level and not too close together. Campground wifi worked perfectly with a strong signal.
