Buffalo Springs Lake

"No percent. I rented a camp spot #17 but when it became dark they left on a very bright light making unable to sleep. I tried calling multiple times to change spots but no one was available to authorize this. I left the area after being there only 2 hours. I called af least 10 times over a two week period to inquire on a refund. They said they would get back to me but never did. I have no other choice but to call my credit card company to decline the charges. I do not recommend camping here unless you don't mind bright lights at night interfering with your ability to sleep. I do not recommend camping here AT ALL."

"We left the campground before we even set up because we felt unsafe and the facilities were a mess. Neighborhoods with houses border the campground and anyone can just walk up to where you are camping. The bathrooms were a mess and trash was everywhere. It was very dark and there was little signage. We camp all the time and this is one of the first times we’ve left a campground because I didn’t feel comfortable. I have asked for a full refund. Do not come here, not a good campground."

"Giving this 5, but really should be a 4.5 for the little things: It's a private community and residents are coming and going through the private gate along with guests. This should be explained. It has a late check out, so don't arrive too early. Campers take advantage of the 3pm check out. Dump station should be on the park map too. The good stuff: On the lake camping, great sunsets, fishing/swimming/boating from your campsite. Great bike rides and off road trails if you have quads or side by sides. The city is just a few miles away. Downtown is a 15 min drive. Definitely THE place to camp if you're visiting Lubbock, and you can score a reservation. We came in late Oct for great weather and no crowds."

"It is a bit expensive to get in. But that is where the bad ends. It is the only good swimming and boating water for at least an hour around Lubbock. It also has camp grounds, picnic areas, beautiful views and lake houses that are fun to gawk at. I am very happy that we got the annual pass (340 for a family of five) as a gift and we are considering renewing it because this is a great place to get away quick to (10-30 min from anywhere in Lubbock) after work or school. And because the cost is high it is not over run with people, very relaxing and fun. We love it"

"Research and plan your trip before you go!! My family decided to stay & camp here. We payed $75 for 5 people only to find out it was only till midnight. The person upfront didn't give alot of information about options staying there. We figured out due to covid they are limited to 20 tent sights and you have to pay for that too. I noticed there is spots for rvs/campers with electricity however there wasn't many camping spots either. Don't get me wrong it is such a beautiful place, its within a canyon and so many caves around it. I understand it costs to get in cause it is a gated community but it is WAY too much money. You can rent boats their and I think jet skies too. You can fling your best friend off an entertube or sit back and relax fishing while sipping a cold one. If your wanting to swim they have 2 or 3 beaches where it's surrounded by netting however you can't go out very far cause the net is pretty close to the bank. I had fun but I'd rather camp or go fishing somewhere else."
