What Guests Are Saying
Burns Lake Campground is praised for its beautiful location, proximity to nature, and friendly hosts, making it a great spot for tent camping with stunning starry skies and wildlife viewing. However, some visitors noted rowdy behavior on weekends, fast trucks around the lake, and minimal facilities, which could lead to discomfort. Overall, the campground offers a clean, relaxed atmosphere, ideal for those seeking an off-grid experience.

We enjoyed the quiet and accessibility to the preserve. The dirt road viewing area was one of our favorites. Drive slow and you will see so much wildlife.

the tent sites are primitive in the best possible way. They are well separated from RV sites, nicely spaced and each is backed up to trees overlooking Burns Lake. Primitive also meaning there are no facilities or luxuries like potable water. There are clean but minimal toilet facilities, an outhouse comode in a block building strong enough to survive a Cat 5 hurricane but no sink or water faucet.
That said the skies were some of the darkest I’ve ever seen, the wilderness is expansive and undisturbed. I loved it.

Primitive bathrooms and No electric.
Cell service was minimal which meant kids had to actually enjoy the great outdoors.
Camp sites are clean and the manager is friendly. No issues. Would go again.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- Contact the off-road vehicle office for more information.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
