Buena Vista Aquatic Rec Area

Great campground right on the lake. Good fishing, nice and quiet, clean restrooms highly recommend.

great area to combine camping with water activities. lake is very shallow and the water is murky and dirty, but you can wakeboard/paddle-board/swim in it. just don’t get any of it in your sinuses. the campgrounds are large and the grass is nicely cut. some of the bathrooms are okay, while others are prison-style and offer zero privacy. i’m gland that this area exists, but improvements can be made.

This was our first and last time here. We had hoped for a great experience of camping and fishing. First night was ok. Then the weekend started. The camp behind us had the music playing very loud all the way past 1 am. After calling the sheriff office and getting the camp host. Which was parked right by these people. They turned it down a little. The sites are really in need of resurfacing. They are pull in round. You can’t tell where the edge of pavement is to the grass. We did have our boat parked in the so called grass/ dirt. The ranger came by very rudely and said it had to be on pavement. Hubby moved boat and truck to what we thought was on the pavement. But oh no. The ranger came back and our driver wheel was 6 inches into this so called grass. He wrote us a ticket for being on the grass. The bathrooms and showers were all closed. You had to walk to a porta potty. Luckily we have our own bathroom. We left 3 days early and are going to fight the 40 ticket. Plus. We couldn’t sit outside because the flies are sooo bad.

Sewer hookup on site 15 does not work, causes your sewage to back up and spill out at connection. 15 is listed as water front, should be listed as weird buzzing utilities front, you can see the water off to the side I front of the next site, but you are NOT parked in front of it. So that is not your view. Ground rodents that look like small prairie dogs scratched at the camper at night and the holes were everywhere. At 10:30am the showers were still not unlocked by the host who we never saw. The bathrooms were backed up and wouldn't flush also they were filthy! Also this is a campground but google thinks it's a hotel. 🤷‍♀️

The rest rooms are limited, the doors doesn't lock, there's bugs all over the lights, and the showers are not open. The playground looks nice but missing swings, and the black top near the slides are mutated and kids were tripping over them. Not what I expected. Wish the showers are available. The sink is a button and bugs all over the place. Hard to do night time routine. NO SWIMMING allowed in the lake! Music is was played well past midnight.
