We enjoyed staying 2 nights at Buckboard Campground in June 2021. It was nice, peaceful, and quiet. Large campsites, plenty of firewood, pit toilets, water, stream and pond near by, and not many people around. We heard turkeys, but never saw any. We did have a few deer stop by and check us out, though.
It is a very nice, well-maintained campsite with enough space for a camper. Included are a fire pit and a table. Apart from the soothing babble of the stream nearby, it is very quiet. The campground is in the woods, which gives you shade on a hot day. There are toilets, drinking water stations and a garbage station. The price of $20 was not too high for this great campground.
Water from the spring tasted delicious and the campground was just as beautiful as ever
A quiet and beautiful campground with huge aspen trees! We went to Arches National Park & Canyonlands NP needles entrance from here and it was an easy drive to both
A really quiet and beautiful place! I wish we had been able to stay more than one night! Rolled through on our road trip, my only tip is to check the dates on the Reserved signs because it's a low maintenance place and we had a choice of more sites than we'd 1st realized.
