Gorgeous campsite. At night we could hear a couple of barred owls and some night herons. The restrooms were decent and were not smelly. Went with my family during the meteor shower. It was an amazing experience. We will definitely return!

Nice clean campground a ways back off the main road which was perfect. Super quiet and also great for some dark sky photography if you’re on the primitive side of the campground. If you’re looking to unplug it’s perfect!

Lovely, quiet place with terrific hosts, Mark and Nancy and a great co-host in Brent. Convenient to Shark Valley and other spots. Loved it.

Burns Lake is a beautiful, off-the-grid camping spot. It's close to some awesome kayaking areas. The mosquitoes can be pretty killer...
