No issues with the individual camp site, or the area. The issue is with the pit toilets. I have never experienced such a rank and disgusting situation in my 47 years of life. Absolutely unusable. The stench was unbearable. I've used a lot of pit toilets, but I may never return to Burnt Corral for this reason.

Camp hosts were amazing! Good site with access to the water, grounds were clean, bathrooms were well taken care of and lit well! Campfire rings need some work but overall a GREAT time! Definitely will be back!

We’ve camped here several times. We love it. Last time we reserved a site because we knew we wouldn’t be there until Saturday morning and someone was in our reserved site but they moved out without to much attitude. The only draw back is the road in. It’s rough and tight, many areas not wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass. All in all. A great campground

Great views, lake access, not many campers. Road to the campground is rough but passable. The bathrooms are a problem. Not sure what is going on with the 'composting toilets' but they stink.

10/10 This lake is for kayaks, boats, and fishing. The water is not swimming water just FYI. Other than that the spots are well maintained, easy to get into. The road even though it is dirt most cars will make it in just fine. Clean bathrooms with toilet paper and a water spigot. There are plenty of smaller trees but remember where it is. During the summer it's going to get hot! We even went hiking on the near bye mountain just on the other side of the road and it was a decent hike that took several hours. Overall for something close to the city if you like the desert climate was great!

Almost afraid to post a review of this campground gem. Slightly off the beaten path, but not too far. Easy water access to Apache Lake. The campground is basic... Pit toilets, potable water, and no RV hook-ups. Many of the sites have a good number of mesquite trees to provide some shade. It's been pretty quiet when I've been there., although there is some raucous noise spill-over from the Lower Burnt Corral Dispersed Camping area. The hosts and crew do a good job keeping things in order and the place clean. I've seen county sheriffs drive through at least once each time I've been there. If only I could time my visits when the fish are biting...
