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.

Burns Lake is a quiet getaway. The sites are all pull through and include a picnic table and fire pit. If you want to experience a rustic camping adventure in your RV, this is the place to visit.

Isolated and out of the grid campground just 12 miles away from Everglades City. The hosts keep restroom clean and garbage is collected daily. Rangers patrol de campground frequently. Do not go close to the lake and do not take your pet close to the lake either . It is infected with alligators. The lake is not safe either not even for boating , it is extremely deep, and the Florida heat create current toward the bottom,even if you do not see. That is not a natural lake but an artificial reservoir from where the ground was taken to build the campground soil above the Everglades sea grass

I love Burns Lake Campground. The place is very quiet and tranquil in the mist of nature. The hosts there are awesome people. Going back again very soon. You can do kayaking/canoeing nearby. They also have backcountry trails nearby plus other activities as well.

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.
