What Guests Are Saying

Burchfield Branch Park is praised for its beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained environment, making it a great spot for family gatherings and camping. Many reviewers enjoyed the spacious campsites, friendly staff, and serene views of the river. However, visitors noted the lack of nearby activities, limited access to firewood, and issues with restroom facilities, emphasizing the need for preparation before arrival due to the park's remote location.

The only problem I had was no phone service at all. If there was a emergency no one could get in touch with you. You couldn’t ask for a better volunteer than Larry Harris.

Lee at the office was very nice and also the volunteers , Denise & Tom, they really made us feel comfortable.
Hard to get someone to answer the phone at the office and a laundry facility would be nice, other than that, I loved it!

The campground hosts were great. During our stay we had severe weather predicted and had to report to a shelter. Prior the host confirmed who would be at the campground the evening of the severe weather and informed us of how we would be notified should we need to report to a shelter - which we did.
The campground is in need of maintenance.

Had a great time camping with our friend group. The campsite was well maintained and peaceful. Amenities were well kept as well. No phone service made for a good break from social media and burdens we put on ourselves with our phones. We’ll definitely be coming back next year

I arrived at the site at 9:55 To find the gates already closed. As a single woman traveling up some desolate roads and trying my best to get there on time, I was very frustrating to arrive at a dead end. There was a man fishing in the parking lot next to the gates which was a little scary. It was also my first time taking my new motorhome camping! Not only did I not get to camp, I had to turn it around on a narrow road...thank goodness for the rock pile on the side of the road! There was no cell service to call someone so my only choice was to drive 30 miles back down to the highway (total of 60 miles of expensive gas) to be forced to find another place to sleep as I was several hundred miles from my destination. Eventually ended up camping in an unprotected Cracker Barrel parking lot, 4 hours after I should have been behind a gate, relaxing lakeside! I had a reservation, the site should have known I was coming and should not lock the gates before all guests have arrived or the scheduled closing time!

the signs need to be updated telling you the Park and Campgrounds are together. They need to have a coded enter at the main gate.
We’re late getting back . Had to leave truck at gate and walk over a mile to our site. We’re visiting grandkids . This is a nice campground. These were the only problems.

Most like the sites along the river. They are nice, but I prefer those sites following the creek. I like this spot cause it’s close to the showers.
Most mornings I enjoyed walking upstream the creek quit a ways back. There aren’t any established trails, but its pretty hard to get turned around - just follow the water downstream back to the loop.
Lots of shore fishing spots. I liked the pier at the end of the river loop best. Great place to bring a chair and pass some time.
There is zero cell here. Both att and verizon are ok up the road at the closed down store. The FM stations like NPR ( if you can stomach that stuff), iheart 105.9, and country music, are usually receivable though.
