Beautiful rustic campground. Sites are paved w/picnic table & fire ring. Water available from spigots. Dumpsite expected to be open in 2025. Sites mostly level. Some are sloped. Some highway noise as i94 is a short distance away.

Really nice campground in national grasslands. Access to potable water, flush toilets and warm showers. All for just 20 dollars a night. Well maintained and we were greeted by a friendly and helpful camp host. Easy to access by short drive off of interstate. There was some highway noise but not too bad. Beautiful views and sunset. Very close to Theodoore Roosevelt National Park.

Great little campground. Isolated sites for the most part. Dump station was out of service for RV. We use a macerator to the pit toilet. Camp host was amazing.. Mr Garth gets five stars. No phone receptions at the campsite. Walk to "phone Hill" for reception and sunsets. No power hook ups plenty of sun for solar usage. Most camp.siyes are short check Google Earth for dubble pads for larger RVs ...same price.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Paula Ricketts · Jul 2025

Campground is really nice. Well laid out amongst the rolling hills. Definitely would recommend the location as the surrounding area has much to offer. My only reason for the low rating is an admin issue and how the (I assume) host dealt with it. We pulled in late at night last night (on the 3rd of July) and used the "pay post" with cash in the envelope system. We found the site we wanted, entered the info on the envelope (as we've done many times at other locations, all the same) and wrote down the site, #2. We did think it was a little odd that there was a shed behind the site, but we've stayed at much stranger sites in campgrounds 😂. When we woke up this morning I was packing up to leave while my son was walking the dogs and the (again I assume) host approaches. From a distance he says,

Stayed here for two nights, July 3rd & 4th, 2025. Had originally wanted to stay in or near the nearby Theodore Roosevelt National Park. So glad I found Buffalo Gap Campground!! It’s quiet, very well maintained, clean bathrooms and hot showers, and big sites for RV’ers. I highly recommend!
