Buffalo Campground is a large Forest Service campground with 127 sites situated directly on the Buffalo River, offering excellent access for fishing and paddling with an accessible fishing dock, parking area, and river views from many campsites.

The campground features paved roads, water spigots throughout, vault toilets, and some sites with electric hookups; it operates late May through early September with reservations, plus first-come, first-served camping after the season ends.
