The campground is nice and spacious with most sites having a mix of sun and shade. The campground has options for very long campers, and several sites have views of the beautiful lake. I found the park to be clean and safe. The 4 star review could be 5 stars if the campground restrooms were upgraded to the level of the entrance restrooms/shower house. Buffalo Trace is a nice park with many options for activities. The fireworks show at Pal-Wow this year was incredible!

Very nice clean park. We stayed over the labor day weekend and the place was packed. 50 & 30 amp service as well as water hookups. Some of the sites were a little on the small size but we were in site 73 along the wood line and it was a decent size and shaded. We didnt take advantage of the rest of the parks amenities but there was paddle boat rental, a beach, and a petting zoo. Very nice for small children.

The family had a pitch in meal here and I have never been to this park but lemme tell you, there's a good amount of stuff to do here with your family.There's swimming, fishing, and my favorite, the quaintest little petting zoo. Most of the animals look taken care of, my concern was the cow with how thin it looked but I'm not knowledgeable on cows so I didn't ask much.For your next spring or summer family gathering or whatever event, this park is great. Most of the shelters even have electric hookups.

What a gem. This park is well known to the locals because of it's pristine parks, beautiful lake, and clean camping grounds. There are several playgrounds situated around the park. Bug spray needed mid summer if your using the playground or shelter house near the lake. Mosquitos are heavy in that area. In the summer the lake has a sand beach swimming area open to the public with a lifeguard on duty. You can rent canoes and paddle boats by the hour with life preservers if you have some adventurous kids with lots of energy.

This is a very nice park . They have two cabins that are able to be rented very reasonable rates. Very clean inside. There is a nice kitchen with full set of dishes and cook where. Microwave, toaster oven countertop stove 4 burner handicap accessible as well as kitchen sink. Both are electric powered and can be lowered and elevated. They have both primitive sites and setup for campers their entire camp facility is very clean and kept up. You can see wildlife pass through the campground day and night. Rabbits squirrels ,Deer , raccoons, native. There is a really nice Beach area and a playground is well on the property. It is also very close to other amenities a Dollar general within less than a mile. There are also a couple of gas stations. Campsites have nice steel burn pits with heavy grills. You can buy bundles of wood from them or bring your own. Firewood is not to be removed from grounds or wooded area. Campground workers and other patrons were all very polite. This site is highly recommended.

I've been going to Buffalo Trace Park for years. We usually camp 4 to 6 times a year there. It used to be such a great, clean and relaxing place. Not any more! You would think since they are charging more fees they could afford a mower or at least a weed eater! Camp sites have not been mowed in weeks, the weeds are knee high, growing up around the fire pits and electrical hook ups. There was trash on our site when we arrived. The recently re worked some of the water lines and didn't bother to do any dirty work when finished. There are ditches and ankle twisting ruts at the camp sites.What a shame.Edit:After writing this review I went to the parks web site, I see that there are several positions open at Buffalo Trace. One of them being maintenance/ grounds keeper among other key positions. If improvements are made once positions are filled, i will gladly change my rating.

14 Primitive sites, 51 Modern sites and two cabins that are handicapped accessible. Paved campsites, pets welcome. Enjoy over 18 differernt activities including trails, disc golf, playgrounds, boating, tennis courts and a petting zoo (in season).
