Awesome Northwoods campground!

Buffalo Lake Campground in the Norther Highlands-American Legion State Forest is spectacular - the sites are large and beautiful - we had campsite 2020 which overlooked the lake, a perfect spot to hang our hammock and relax. Firewood conveniently located by the dock next to group sites. Very clean and quiet area.
