TravelerI am not a high maintenance kind of chick ….i used pit toilets and sun showers and that doesn’t bother me but this weekend was horrible. The staff was nice but the overflowing dumpster led to a plethora of flies and issues trying to keep them out of our foods The air quality was horrible due to the stench of the dumpster was a true health concern every time the breeze came from that direction The following are photos of the concerns overflowing dumpster 150 feet from our site
ScoutPeaceful and wooded. Paved parking. Enjoying our stay. Bathrooms and showers nice enough.
ScoutThis was our 2nd time to stay there. Place is kept up very well and Michael is always helpful the facilities are clean and it’s a great place for a relaxing get away
TravelerThis location was our maiden voyage with our new fifth wheel RV. White buffalo resort is a beautiful place to stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Met some friendly, long-term RV’ers. The only drawback is they don’t have a bike trail except for around the campground (4stars). They offer free Wi-Fi, has a nice clean pool, adequate playground and pavilion. Scenery is fantastic.
TravelerNightly rate & monthly rate available. Have your own solar? Spot 50 is cheaper because it has no working electricity. Water and sewer hookup are available at this site. Dogs welcome.
Scout8th trip here in 2 years! Our fav place.

River activities: The Buffalo and White Rivers provide excellent fishing opportunities within easy access of many cabins.

Many outfitters operate from spring through fall, with rental costs around $40-60 per canoe.
Cave exploration: Several cabin rental areas provide access to natural cave formations. Susan R. mentions discovering "a cool cave at the far right end of the rock beach" at Buffalo Point. Many caves require flashlights and sturdy footwear, with some accessible via short hikes from cabin areas.
Hiking trails: Cabin campers have access to numerous maintained trails. The Bull Shoals-White River State Park offers the "Over Look trail and it was pretty well maintained," according to Susan R., who also visited "the Rush Ghost Town and did the short loop to check it out." Most trails range from 0.5 to 3 miles and can be accessed year-round, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable hiking temperatures.
River views: Cabins positioned along the water are particularly popular. Heath L. enjoyed staying at Buffalo Point: "During the week was super quiet and more my speed. Deer were everywhere and the Indian Rockhouse hike was really great." Many riverside cabins include decks or patios specifically designed for river viewing.

Blue Heron Campground received praise from Wanda S., who noted, "Step out of your rv and you will see some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the United States." Some campers reported watching eagles from their cabins, particularly during early morning hours.
Off-grid experience: Many visitors appreciate the lack of connectivity. Kaylee W. enjoyed Buffalo Point for "a peaceful night with out cell service! Highly recommended for those who are looking to get away from reality!" Most cabins in the region operate without WiFi, though some offer satellite television. Cell service varies significantly by provider and location.
Seasonal water levels: River conditions change dramatically with rainfall. Susan R. noted at Buffalo Point, "The water was absolutely beautiful Thursday-Saturday, but the area got a lot of rain Saturday... By 8 pm Saturday, the water at the beach area was completely brown and we could tell the water was up a LOT." Water levels can rise 10+ feet overnight during heavy rainfall.
Limited supplies: While some cabin areas offer basic stores, selection is minimal. At Gilbert RV Park, Kala V. noted "The store contains everything you may need plus some!" However, most visitors should bring groceries and supplies from larger towns before arrival.

Firewood and ice for sale." Most cabin areas that also accommodate RVs offer 30-amp service, with 50-amp available at select locations.
