Buffalo Point Access

Buffalo Point is a major river access area on the Buffalo National River featuring a full-service campground with over 80 drive-in sites (water and electric hookups) and 21 walk-in tent sites, plus day-use facilities including picnic areas and pavilions.

Note: The road to the boat launch is closed; visitors must carry boats and gear up a steep gravel bar to the parking lot, or consider taking out at Dillards Ferry (1. 5 miles upstream) instead.

The facility offers amenities including a seasonal restaurant (Memorial Day-Labor Day), ranger station, and access to hiking trails and river recreation.
