We stayed in Site 64 for 2 nights while waiting out a storm. The site is good for a larger vehicle - we have a 27 foot travel trailer. Camper door opens to the road. This site and others have a slope as the area is hilly. We initially planned to stay hooked up, but unhitched as we needed to get more level. Sites in the small loop near 1-10 may be a bit more level. 2-3 bars of Verizon allowed for remote work and video streaming. Having easy access to a water fill and dump station right in the campground was great, especially because restrooms were portable only. Rangers were friendly and it was quiet mid week. There are hiking trails right from the campground. We also drove around to the dam side and hiked up Black Butte. It's an interesting area geologically. Good stay overall!

I love Buckhorn. It was quiet this weekend. I love riding my bike around the roads and campgrounds. I got 25 miles in. Cheyanne the park ranger was so friendly. It was a great windy day to fly kites on Saturday.
