The campground is located just south of Duluth off of I–35, feeding off of tourist making their way into the city.

“Duluth is kind of our main attraction to get everybody to come here,” says Eckenberg.

Management at the campground feels they are in the perfect location for those who want to come and stay.

They say that times are changing more and more people want to experience the backroads of the country these days.

“It’s gotten to the point where more people are camping and getting out camping because what it costs to stay in a camper and travel around and see different areas instead of being stuck in a motel,” says Eckenberg.

Once you’re done with your stay. The Buffalo Campground staff will point you in the right direction.

“Just trying to be friendly with them and get to talk to them and find out where they’re from, where they’re going or how I can help them get to different places.” says Eckenberg.
