About
Buffalo Park Picnic Shelter is a day-use group facility located at Buffalo Park on John H. Kerr Reservoir (also known as Buggs Island Lake) in Virginia. The shelter offers a scenic setting where the Roanoke (Staunton) River meets the Dan River, with views of the 50,000-acre reservoir. It accommodates gatherings of up to 50 people with parking for up to 20 vehicles. The shelter includes picnic tables and grills but does not have electricity or water. Adjacent park amenities include a swim beach, boat ramp, playground, and life jacket loaner station, though these areas remain open to the public even during private shelter reservations. A $7 day-use fee per vehicle applies. Overnight camping is explicitly prohibited at the shelter and day-use areas. Campers seeking overnight accommodations should reserve sites at the separate Buffalo Park Campground, which operates May 1 through September 30.
