I camped at Buckaloons on 23 July to 4 August 2025. The campground host family are some of the best people I have met in my travels. They are genuinely nice and friendly and do a fantastic job managing the campground! The bath house / restroom facilities were always clean and the campground was well maintained making my stay there very enjoyable! Thank you!
Showers and bathrooms were decent. Kids liked the basketball and volleyball courts. Gave it only 3 stars due to the amount of road noise from nearby freeway though. Swing-in grates around Fire pit are nice.
Beautiful out of the way camp grounds. The sites are close but distanced from each other by vegetation. Very nice setup. The bathrooms are centralized for the campers and the bath house is near the front. I like the trail around the camp showing off the river and the side streams.
Buckaloons is a wonderful place to visit. I found it to be a quiet clean campgroumd. The restrooms and showers were clean. The boat ramp is paved and will accommodate any craft that would be safe for that portion of the Allegheny River. Sean
This campground is nicely situated near the Allegheny National Forest. I love to bring my kids to this campground when it is not busy. You can bicycle ride, some canoeing on the river and there is a nice walking trail around the campground. The camp sites are somewhat private. I have been going here for 20 years and it seems to change with each host. In the past large amounts of alcohol consumption, noise and other unwelcome things would ruin a camping trip. Latest host, covid and other changes have made it nicer. Still have these old issues, recently campers running generators which must be permitted since the host allowed it (should not be permitted as it's rude and Buckaloons offers electric). My kids love coming back here and it's become a tradition as they get older. Despite attempts at camping elsewhere, this is still the favorite. Convenient access, tons of activities, clean showers and nestled in a fantastic area make this campground great.
