The people at Buffalo Lookout have been amazing. The owners have been accommodating and looked out for my well-being during my stay. The park itself is a nice place. There is a bit of road noise at times, but it is very acceptable for its location. The biggest downside is that it's a bit hard to access from the east. It doesn't help there's construction on some of the roads from the eastern side. I like the park and it is much nicer than the parks in the area. It will be better when the construction is done. I will return.

Bathrooms were very clean but could use some updating. Sites very close together no privacy. Right by the highway so you do hear cars at night. They say they have wifi but untrue, wasn't working at our site nor the bathrooms. Not even slow wifi, it just didnt reach at all. Disapointing when companies advertise a service they don't actually offer.

We travel from Red Deer area to Nova Scotia every few years, and this is our first night's stop. We have stayed here twice. Great prices, has full hookups. Only downside is not many trees for privacy, but it's the prairies so, yeah. In the off season they seem to always have a spot available. Would def stay again.

Level, well spaced campsites. Clean restrooms and showers. Friendly staff. Convenient location to the highway and town services. Some road noise but not horrible.
