Buffalo Springs
Overview
Buffalo Springs is a campground that offers sites capable of accommodating trailers and truck-and-trailer combinations at a limited number of locations, based on visitor reports. The campground is described in reviews as having managed sites with a camp host present.
Reported onsite features include a camp host and vault toilets; reviewers note the vault toilets were clean. Reviewers also report that most sites are relatively small, with only a few sites large enough for a truck and trailer together. One reviewer noted the reservation-site map was inaccurate and that an evacuation map and posted site photos provided a more accurate depiction of individual sites. Reviewers describe rules restricting loud parties, ATVs, and shooting.
Site notes from reviews indicate the camp sites are spaced out, and one reviewer reported an accommodating host who allowed a space change to fit their vehicle and trailer. Multiple reviewers mentioned many aspens within the campground. Review comments also describe dirt roads immediately outside the campground that are typically behind a closed gate for most of the year and are usually open July–September; a reviewer noted those roads are suitable for biking when the gate is open. Reviewers also reported that there are often a few first-come, first-served openings but availability can be limited on holiday weekends.
In summary, visitor reports describe Buffalo Springs as a campground with a camp host, clean vault toilets, sites of varying sizes (few large enough for truck-and-trailer combinations), rules limiting high-noise activities, and nearby gated dirt roads that are seasonally open. Photographs and an evacuation map were reported to be more accurate than the reservation-site map for assessing individual sites.
