Buffalo Shores County Park

We just stayed a quick night on the way driving across country. We pulled up in the dark, and were awakened the next day by an amazing view of the Mississippi River. Some camping spots have water, They all have electricity, and there is one bathroom with showers. Portapotties and dumpsters are situated throughout. There is a slightly confusing registration process of a QR code on you camping spot. Overall, a great place to stop.

Clean campground clean bathrooms but there are planes and trains payed $30 for the night there is electric and water has pull thru lots right on the Mississippi river

Very clean sites and restrooms. Showers available as well. Most are pull through sites but each one has a view of the Mississippi River. Nice Boat Launch that is very busy on weekends.

CG has views all ng Mississippi River including sites on shore. Sites have tables, fire rings, electric. Dump station, play area, showers/RR, office with ice, wood, registration. Park has play area, boat ramp, beach, volleyball pit, horseshoes, parking. Sites has good shade and hard pads.

Nice CG with river access. Railroad runs beside CG. Well maintained with CG host, wood available, soda machine, restrooms/showers, playset, boat ramp. There are good shoreline sites for boats. New septic system installed. Town of Buffalo nearby for supplies. Manager lives onsite. Overflow parking too.

Beautiful beach, clean campsites, has flush toilets and clean showers. My only issue with this camp is that not everyone is treated the same by the rangers, rules are not enforced with all campers. I have been a long time camper at the park but have resided to camp elsewhere. I go camping to relax, it’s hard to relax when see the unfair treatment of some.

Nice beach walk and next to a small town. Came in December to find they close the campground for the season but there’s lots of small lots to park overnight.

No sewer dump, can’t be hooked up to water. No bathrooms or shower houses. Not at all thrilled. Not enough room for 2 full size vehicles to park on pad. Have to park in a parking lot.

Amazing campground. Short walk to the beach. All sites are 50 and 30 you just show up pick a spot and go to the office. Camp host stays on site. Nice sized playground for kids. Plenty of room around campers. No dump station or bath house. Have to vehicles so one can’t be parked at camp parking lot near by. Very quiet at night lots of boaters.

Has clean facilities including showers, restrooms, small camp office with host. Some sites right on river with beach shore for fishing. Near town of Buffalo for any needs. Boat ramp, lots of parking.

UPDATE: sewer system now upgraded and open
