Set within the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest, Buffalo Lake Campground operates seasonally from late April through mid-October. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources manages this established campground, which provides both electric hookups and primitive camping options accessible by drive-in, walk-in, boat, or hiking trail.
Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with firewood available near the dock by the group camping area. The campground features drinking water, restrooms, and shower facilities. Site 2020 overlooks the lake directly, offering water access for campers. Reviewers note the campground maintains clean facilities and tends to stay relatively quiet even during busy weekends. Pets are welcome throughout the grounds, and Cunard Lake — Northern Highland - American Legion State Forest sits just over two miles southwest for those exploring multiple forest campgrounds.
