Buck Landing Campground

Buck Landing is a free, first-come, first-served canoe-in campsite on the Lumber River featuring picnic benches and a fire pit on high ground with good seclusion.

The site offers true backcountry camping for paddlers, though amenities are basic (the original grill has been replaced with a cinder block and wire grate). Access is via paddling from the Hwy 72 boat launch upstream, with GPS coordinates 34. 484407, -78.
