Buffalo Park

About

Buffalo Park occupies a scenic point on John H. Kerr Reservoir (locally known as Buggs Island Lake), where the Roanoke and Dan rivers converge. This small Army Corps of Engineers campground offers 21 sites split between 11 shaded electric sites along the tree line and 10 primitive sites in an open field. The electric loop includes one double site and two paved ADA-accessible sites. Primitive sites are smaller with limited shade. The campground provides family-style individual restrooms with hot showers, sinks, and flush toilets. A dump station serves RV campers. The day-use area includes a swim beach, picnic shelter with lake views, playground, and a public boat ramp with trailer parking. Day use is free for registered campers; otherwise a $7 fee applies. Kerr Reservoir spans 50,000 acres across Virginia and North Carolina with 800 miles of wooded shoreline. The lake offers excellent fishing for largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, and catfish. Hunting is permitted on surrounding public lands with appropriate Virginia licenses. Buffalo Springs Park, a historic mineral spring site, lies about 7 miles away. Clarksville, the only town on the lake, is 15 minutes away for gas and groceries.
