Buckhorn State Park review for: hike-in campsite #17, South picnic, restroom, and shower area, main office, pull-in sites, hike-in campsite #7 area, and camp host.

The pros: beautiful , spacious lake-side, hike-in campsites, very clean rest and shower areas, super camp host, main office staff were very helpful at check in, wood and ice are available at the main office as well and bike, kayak, and canoe rentals.

The cons: Mosquitoes and black flies! I'm m going to be honest here - I did not see one soul outside of their campers during the evening and I would guess it is because of the insects. I have never encountered the severity of mosquitos and black flies in my time camping on this earth - and coming from someone who camps quite a bit, I think that means something. Deep Woods off does not even help much, the mosquitoes bite during the day, at night, and there was not a time that the bugs were not intense.

The ticks were bad as well.

The walk-in/hike-in sites were all very nice 6 - 8 and 17 - 19...plan on quite a long pack in for these sites and be aware that #7 is not water accessible directly because there is 150' of reeds.
