About
Buffalo Lake Campground is a 52-site rustic campground located in the southern portion of the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest on the southeast corner of Buffalo Lake. This traditional campground embodies the quieter, more spacious character typical of the forest's rustic facilities, offering minimal amenities including three vault toilet buildings, three hand pumps for drinking water, and separate trash and recycling dumpsters. The 104-acre Buffalo Lake is particularly known for excellent panfishing and features a sandy beach that is popular with swimmers. A boat launch is conveniently located within the campground. The campground offers various site types including several double campsites that accommodate up to 12 people and two camping units, as well as walk-to tent-only sites where campers hike a short distance from their vehicles. Buffalo Lake Campground is situated on Highway J, which features bike lanes connecting to St Germain and Woodruff, making it accessible for cyclists exploring the region's extensive trail network.
