Buffalo KOA Journey, KOA's 2026 Rising Star, is a premier campground located along the banks of Clear and French Creeks, with Bighorn Mountain views, offering guests a perfect historic mountain-town escape. This family-owned RV park has spotless facilities, a peaceful setting, and warm, friendly staff that deliver a true Western welcome, prompting guests to extend their stay or to return. Relax in creek-side Deluxe Patio sites, spacious pull-through RV sites under cottonwoods, quiet tent spots on Clear Creek, or let your furry friends roam safely in our new KOA Paw Pen Sites. Prefer a roof? Get back to nature in our clean, cozy Cabin rentals as a rustic upgrade from hotels. Whether passing through or staying awhile, this is where your adventure begins. Perfectly located midway between Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore, Buffalo KOA Journey is a gateway to adventure. Just 10 minutes from the Bighorn National Forest, explore Crazy Woman Canyon, Hiking and ORV trails, scenic drives to Ten Sleep, or follow the Slip Road to Outlaw Canyon, famous for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Historic downtown Buffalo—once known as "The USA's Most Lawless Town"—is only five minutes away. As featured on Guy Fieri's All American Road Trip, it offers attractions like the Occidental Hotel with weekly Bluegrass Jams, an excellent Golf Course, and unique local spots like WWII-themed Bombshells, who also invite you to bring your dog along for the fun! Better yet, create the best memories with a covered wagon ride and historical tour with Buffalo's newest attraction, Moon Hitch Wagon Co - it will be the highlight of your Western experience!
Prefer to stay on-site? Enjoy fishing in Clear Creek or French Creek, take a dip in the pool (open Memorial Day–Labor Day), or challenge friends and family to volleyball, corn hole, giant chess, or Connect 4. Additional amenities include a 24/7 laundromat and bathhouse, playground, and a well-stocked store. Whether your journey lasts a few days, a week, or even months, our staff is ready to welcome you.
Hurry in, set up, and stay a while—your adventure (or relaxation) starts here!
We currently offer the following activities:
Starts: 09/05/2026 - Ends: 09/08/2025
Although there are bigger, more prestigious celebrations out west, few can rival Don King Days. This event truly recaptures the spirit and traditions of the west, and the open-air, unconfined and unhurried atmosphere of rodeos past.
POLO -- The largest polo tournament of the Big Horn Polo Club's season is played over this weekend, culminating with the Don King Days Cup on Monday.
STEER ROPING -- Steer roping is a sport that developed out of necessity on the open range in the late 1800s and continues to be a common method of doctoring cattle.
BRONC RIDING -- The invitational matched bronc riding at Don King Days is truly unique. The bronc is saddled and blindfolded, then snubbed up to a pick-up man's horse. The cowboy, riding double behind the other pick-up man, eases himself onto the waiting bronc. As soon as the cowboy is “set”, the blindfold is taken off the bronc and the excitement begins! Since there are no fences, the action can get real close, putting the crowd right in the action!
MUSIC -- Sunday and Monday after the field action winds down, head on over to the Club House to listen to Nashville recording artist Paul Bogart and his band. Paul makes Don King Days a regular stop on his late summer tour each year. An avid horseman himself, Paul writes his own songs about the cowboy lifestyle. Bring the whole family for old-time western excitement that you won't forget. Round up your lawn chairs and be ready to spend your weekend watching the action and visiting with old friends out on the grass. Some folks pack a picnic and load a cooler on their tailgate, while others visit the food vendors and stop by the Club House for spirits of the liquid kind. All events are Sunday and Monday, except for the blacksmith competition which runs Saturday-Monday.
Starts: 01/01/2025 - Ends: 12/31/2026
