Buffalo Lake Campground

About

Buffalo Lake Campground sits on the southeast corner of its namesake 104-acre lake in the southern portion of Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest. The lake is well-regarded for panfishing and features an excellent swimming beach. A boat launch within the campground provides direct water access. The 52 sites (numbered 2001-2052) include several configurations: standard sites, double campsites (2014-2015, 2021-2022, 2023-2024) that accommodate up to 12 people and two wheeled camping units, and walk-to tent-only sites (2042-2045) requiring a short hike from parking. Site 2050 is also designated tent-only. Three vault toilet buildings and three hand pumps provide basic facilities, with trash and recycling dumpsters available. The campground operates seasonally from April 30 through Columbus Day. Firewood is sold on-site, and registered campers may gather dead wood from the forest floor for campfires. Highway J offers bike lanes connecting to St. Germain and Woodruff for cyclists seeking day trips beyond the forest.
