Buffalo Creek Recreation Area

My son and I wanted to get away for a night close to home, this was only about an hour away for us.  I have ridden bikes at buffalo creek many times, but didn't know it had so many dispersed camping sites.  I forgot to bring the camping stove, so the firepit with grill top saved the trip!  Most of the sites are quite spread apart, so even the neighboring campsite is a good distance away to feel like you're out there alone.  Instantly this area has become my go to camping location this coming spring.  Being close by to awesome singletrack to mountain bike is an added benefit, but I'd be just as happy to go out to enjoy nature and hiking.  I feel guilty even writing this review because I feel like I'm giving out a secret spot.  Luckily, there seems to be plenty of sites for everyone.  At on March 1st.

Fantastic views and a wide variety of trails for all levels. This area has both isolated & community-style campsites with facilities.

Came here around 3pm on a saturday after failing to find a spot at kirby gulch and was able to snag a great spot! Couldn’t pull our car in all the way to site but it worked out. Was able to climb some boulders and got a great view of the sunset! Easy road to drive on too!
