Campground details
Setting
Buffalo Point Campground sits along the dam-free Buffalo National River among Ozark hardwoods and open meadows. Developed originally by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the campground features sites with water and electrical hookups, along with an on-site seasonal restaurant. The river serves as a central hub for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. On-site land attractions include access to the Indian Rockhouse Trail and the nearby Rush Historic District, a former zinc mining community, with Blanchard Springs Caverns located an hour's drive from the site.
