Camping at Buffalo Point near Yelville

Public campground · Yelville · 101 campsites · 5 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Days at Buffalo Point are geared to water and trail recreation: paddling ranges from quick rapids to slow pools, anglers find plenty of stretches for casting, and nearby trailheads such as the Indian Rockhouse Trail offer compact hikes among bluffs and springs. The campground's loop layout gives options for quieter family sites or larger group gatherings at the dedicated sites and pavilions, while evenings are often spent around campfires preparing for another day on the river.

How far ahead to book Buffalo Point

For June weekends, book about 170 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 125 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (26,990 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
