Spring Camping Trip, Buffalo Point Campground, Arkansas

Outdoor Afro Kansas City will be joining Outdoor Afro St. Louis for their annual camping event.

If you'd like to caravan to the location, you may join us on May 24th at 8:00 a.m. at Koinonia Bible Church which is located at 7020 Richmond Avenue Kansas City, MO 64133.

Buffalo Point is a convenient, fun-filled destination for families and adventurists of all types. It's perched along the Buffalo National River, providing exciting river sports and hiking opportunities. In peak season, a restaurant is open at the facility, serving up meals for those who want a break from preparing them.

The campground is set along Buffalo National River, one of the few free-flowing rivers remaining in the contiguous United States. The river runs 135 miles without dams and cuts through the Arkansas Ozarks and into the White River. The region is surrounded by droves of lush hardwood trees and grassy open meadows.
