Little Buffalo State Park Campground



The campground has approximately 35 sites, most with water and electric, which is rare for many PA state parks. The sites are mostly level, gravel, and good sized for averaged sized RV’s. Larger rigs may have some issues with site length on a few sites, so check ahead of time, but there are a couple pull through sites. Fire rings and picnic tables are at each site, but no wifi in the campground area. We did have cell phone service at our campsite.  

The sites along the outer side of the look are more wooded than the inner sites.  The bathhouse is modern, very clean and well maintained. A playground is near bathhouse in the campground, along with several hiking trails. The dump station is easily accessible. Firewood is also available for purchase at the campground.

The campground is located across the road from the actual state park, which is beautiful and well maintained. A large lake is the centerpiece surrounded by multiple hiking trails, picnic areas, and a large swimming pool/aquatics area (in season). The road going to the park and campground is well maintained, with very wide shoulders for easy access, biking, and running. Fishing and boat rental are available on the lake.

  

We had a wonderful weekend at LBSP and plan to include it on our “Go-To” places to visit and camp.

A Hidden Gem In Central PA

Little buffalo has a lot to offer!  The campsites are spacious.  There are standard tent sites available and there are water/electric site available.  There is a dump station available for the end. You can book your site on line and go straight to your site!  no check in required.  If you are passing through and there are sites you can sign in by the honor envelops!  The bathrooms are clean.  It is nice and dark at night!  Little buffalo does offer a variety of activities. The down side is they are across the street.  I recommend you drive across because the road is a high speed limit and might not be safe to cross.  They offer nice trails to hike.  There is a large lake for fishing!  You can rent boats there!  There is a pool!  The pool is very nice!  They offer a large area that is only 1 foot deep, great for little ones!  There is also a splash pad!  There are 2 slides for fun!  No food allowed in the pool but you can bring picnic lunch for outside the pool.  Tons of picnic tables!   There is a snack bar!  2nd downfall, you have to pay to get in the pool, yes even if you are camping!!!  3rd downfall, I am pretty sure it's the most expensive state park in PA!  Even with the downfalls it's still a great place to visit!  Kids love it there!  Happy Camping!

beautiful

Campground was small, clean and quiet. The showers kinda sucked since you it had water limits on them that only last 20 seconds before you had to hit the button again. But they were extremely clean. Not much luck fishing but all the turtles were cool and just paddling around in the kayak is always a good time. The hiking was good as well. There are trails with some neat little obstacles to work out on and the historical mill was well worth the trip. By the far the highlight of ours as well. Especially since they engaged the wheel and actually ground corn! It rained every day during our 3 night stay but no one can beat the weather our campsite did flood however.

Beautiful lake, great hiking and interesting historical sites.

We camped here over Columbus Day weekend. We wanted a quiet escape. We had one of the few full hook up sites. Very quiet and peaceful. Lots to do at the lake if you want or quiet enough to just kick back. Bath houses were very clean. Staff was pleasant.

Very nice! 

Nice for a smaller campground. Only downfall is we have smaller children and we could not bike from the campground to the pool, it was too far and the hill to get back was too big for them to ride up.
Pool was great once you got there.
Bathrooms are clean


Great smaller campground 

The pool here is top notch and it's good for fishing but the hiking isn't super great. We did have a nice bat spotting walk with a Ranger when we were there and there's an interesting historic mill you can tour. The camping area was pretty hilly and not super large but it gets the job done. I'd recommend visiting the nearby huckleberry natural area to see one of the oldest living plants in the world and Hall's Dairy for excellent ice cream. 

Really great pool

Its an amazing little quite camping ground. Super clean. Lots of easy hiking trails and tons of fishing. 

Great spot

We went to Little Buffalo State Park for Labor Day weekend and had a blast! Great neighbors, lots of kids to play with, good playground and very clean facilities (cleaned daily). The driving path is gravel with a steep hill at the end so if you can help it I would avoid sites 32,34,36 as they are VERY difficult to back into with larger rigs. People’s trucks kept sliding down the gravel hill as they tried to back in. Overall, lots to see and do, beautiful hikes and views of the lake, will revisit!

Great people!

We liked it so much we stayed another night. Quiet, wooded spots, with a very nice bathhouse, and good trails nearby. We would stay again.

Beautiful state park

We just love this little park! Easy to access, big rig friendly although there is a hill to get up to campground. They have water and electricity at most sites and some are dry. They have a very clean bathhouse with a dump station. We love the fishing access, boat rentals, great playgrounds and fun activities for the kids! 

Love it here!!

We arrived when it was dark out and had site #2. The camp hosts were fantastic and helped us back into a spot. The spot was hard to maneuver for a 41 ft 5th wheel because of the turning radius. There was also a drop off on the other side of the road which limited the turning radius as well.  We only slept here but it looked like a nice place. The grounds are hilly.the well was dry so there wasn’t any water.
