What guests say

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (82 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“The campsite manager was very helpful. There was access to well water. Pretty views. ”

Kelly M 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“It rained, not your fault. But, all of the sites are muddy if it rains. The camp host didn't clean and freshen the toilets. There was still paper on the floor from the first day we arrived. And, the toilets stunk badly. We moved to a different campground.”

Brian R 1 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

About

Buffalo Springs Campground sits on a rolling hillside in the San Isabel National Forest at about 9,000 feet, shaded by stands of aspen, spruce and mixed conifers and opening onto clear mountain views. The campground's 17 sites are spread out for privacy 16 are configured to serve both RVs and tents and one is tent-only each with a picnic table and a campfire ring. Parking aprons are dirt and rocky (they'll accommodate trailers up to 30 feet) and each site has room for up to two vehicles; vault toilets and a drinking water source are provided. On-site amenities lean toward active outdoor fun: there are volleyball courts and horseshoe pits, and nearby terrain supports biking, hiking and horseback riding, as well as rock-climbing opportunities and good spots for wildlife watching expect to see mule deer, bald eagles and the occasional chipmunk. For anglers and boaters, Antero Reservoir is the closest large lake and is known for trophy trout (rainbow, brook and cutthroat), while the historic mining town of Fairplay, with its open-air museum, lies within easy driving distance. Plan ahead for reservations and refunds through Recreation.gov and for the facility's cancellation rules: cancellations made up to two days before arrival incur a $10 cancellation fee; cancelling the day before or on the day of arrival results in a $10 service fee and forfeiture of the first night's use fee (including tax and add-ons); one-night reservations are nonrefundable. No-shows are charged a $20 service fee and forfeit the first night's rate, taxes and applicable add-ons. Refund requests must be submitted through your Recreation.gov profile within seven days after the reservation end date; card refunds are returned to the original payment method, while check or cash refunds are issued by U.S. Treasury check (which can take 6 8 weeks). In the event of an emergency closure all fees will be refunded. Also be aware that unmanned aircraft systems (drones) are regulated on National Forest lands check the Forest Service UAS policy and the Recreational Drone Tips guidance before flying and call the facility for site-specific questions at (661) 702-1420.
