Easy in, out. Great level sites with plenty of room. This is one a few campgrounds that, in our 15 years of full-time RV travel, called me before our arrival to let us know what to expect when we arrived. I really appreciate their extra effort. The campground is very well kept. The laundry room is clean and modestly priced. We arrived after the season so water was off, but they have fill station in front. We would definitely stay again

Excellent campground. Close to I-25 with easy access to gas and restaurants. Sites are level and well maintained. Nice clean bathroom and showers and plenty of areas for dogs to walk and play. We’ve stayed here multiple times and have always found this KOA to be one of the best in our cross country travels.

We drove up to Buffalo, Wyoming kind of on a whim because we wanted to get out of Denver for Labor Day weekend. I’m so glad we made the trip. We specifically chose Buffalo because it has a KOA campground, it’s close to Denver, and we can easily tow our large travel trailer there. No mountain passes to go over, plenty of places to refuel along the way. We love KOA because they are typically very clean, safe, and have good amenities. There are always good places for kids to run and play. This campground was no exception. It was very easy to get to, the place is laid out really well, it’s close to town, and it’s just a really pretty property. There is a pretty little creek running alongside the campground, a pool, a playground, and it was a nice property to just walk around. Something to be aware of is that The campground is kind of tucked into a hotel area. There are a lot of mature trees on the property, so it makes the place feel like you’re not in the middle of everything, but it’s something to make note of in case you’re looking for something super rustic, or out of the way. We weren’t bothered by the hotels, and despite the fact that the property is close to I 25, we really didn’t notice any traffic sounds either. We would definitely go out of our way to make the trip to Buffalo, and we would absolutely stay at this KOA again.

Best KOA I have ever visited! I have visited many KOAs all over the US and I can honestly say "They are not all created equal". This one is by far the expectation to the rule. It is well kept. Family is very nice and friendly. The staff is always out working on keeping the resort clean and manicured. Laundry and baths/showers where very neat and clean. I will definitely recommend.

We stayed here for a week in July 2025. We enjoyed our stay here. This is a well run KOA with good amenities. A little on the expensive side though, given that the pool should really be heated, and a hot tub would be a great addition. There are some turns within the park that are tight when the somewhat small sites are occupied and RVs are overhanging. We ended up leaving a different way to avoid problems trying to make some of the turns within the campground. There are two dog parks, access to Clear Creek in the back, a nice playground, chess set, laundry, and more. Some of the deluxe sites are really nice in terms of enclosed patios with grills, etc. if you're into that sort of thing. We arrived early (because we were only coming from the Sheridan KOA which had a check out of 11am) and the Buffalo KOA was very friendly and accommodating - great staff. Disappointed to see a no parking on grass policy though - sometimes the sites are so small that people don't have a choice.

This is a very nice, clean, quiet campground located in Buffalo WY. This is very clean and well kept. We have stayed here a few times to include RV, 40 ft rig that had great accommodations. The cabins, but wasn't prepared to have no offerings of bedding so be prepared. And, tent camping. The facilities for showering, bathrooms is very clean. We didn't use the pool or playground but theses areas were very clean. The staff at check in were awesome. Only complaint this trip,we were told no fires in the campground. Pretty bummed about this. Top Notch, highly recommended

Stayed for one night on our way back from our destination. Very accommodating in making reservation. The site was level and clean. The bathroom and shower facilities clean, water pressure great. Pool was closed but looked great! Probably the best KOA we've stayed at to date.

Best KOA I've ever stayed in. Wife and I stayed here in the spring and now in late summer. Since spring, they have opened up a new section that is absolutely fabulous. Spaces are wide with new GREEN grass and trees. Concrete patios with chairs and grills in the higher end spots. These guys have worked their butts off to make a great KOA.

Wow! What a great experience! All of the staff from the top down were very warm and personable. We felt like we had arrived home. The facilities and grounds were impeccably kept! We rank this as one of the best sites we’ve ever visited. And you should see the new expansion sites. They have beautiful patios at each site.

Our stay was wonderful, check in was very smooth. We got into our spacious site with no issues. The campground was clean and well maintained despite the expansion construction. The pool was clean. There was also a nice creek that our dogs enjoyed playing in along with the dog park. The front desk staff made sure we had plans while we were in Buffalo and gave us great hiking recommendations. His recommendations definitely made this one of our favorite spots on our three week trip. Unfortunately, there was not much to do in town with so many places being closed so it was nice having a beautiful campsite to spend our time.
