The campground was clean, they harassed us about our UTV. Even though it was licensed, insured and complied to Corp of engineers guidelines.
But they thought it ok for them to have an atv gator at the marina, and golfcarts running around. They like to make up their own rules. We had a family reunion and rented many spaces for almost a week. We will look for another campground next time.
I’ve been camping at Bucksaw for over 35 years. The campground is always clean and the fishing is great! Occasionally, you’ll encounter a rude camper with loud music or running a generator all night long, but that’s not Bucksaw’s fault. Just enjoy the many times you’ll go and have a wonderful time!
Is the pool also for the campers to use
Hi Donna,
There is not a swimming book at Bucksaw Campground, but Bucksaw Resort & Marina has one. Not sure if ‘Bucksaw’ campers are allowed to use it though. You can call the resort and marina to check: 660 477-3900
