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.

I wasn't aware of the "quiet time " rule. At around 11pm the campground management knocked on my rv door, very sharply. I was informed that I couldn't run my generator after 10pm. I apologized and told them I wasn't aware of the rule. I then explained I sleep using a CPAP, I suffer from severe sleep apnea. They informed me it was a rule no exception. If I didn't shut it off they would contact law enforcement. I continued to run the generator for a short time after the encounter. I eventually turned off the generator. Law enforcement did arrive but the generator was off when they arrived. I had a sleepless night and suffered from extreme fatigue the following day. I understand a policy should be followed, but there should be some considerations in certain circumstances. I was very disappointed in the tyrannical attitude of the campground management.

Great spot doesn't get overcrowded the north Trails pretty cool as long as you're brave enough to go all the way to where the Bigfoot sightings are. And if there's nobody there and you're by yourself prepare for Panthers

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.
