We loved this campground even though there were no services. Beautiful spot on the lake, quiet and convenient to other destinations. Loved walking around the small lake. We would visit again.

Burns Lake never disappoints, it's beautiful & it is quiet. The only problem that I noticed there on my last visit, and I have NEVER seen this before, people are now (obviously allowed to) camp with their smaller camping rigs in the TENTS only sites. TENTS only should mean TENTS only. These larger & heavier rigs are tearing up the ground, making the grass turn to dirt & mud.

I was expecting a fairly primitive experience, but this was basically back country camping. The road to access the campground was not much better than a logging road.

Needed a site for one night for our trip from Key West to St. Pete. This was perfect. Quiet, easy to reach.

Very nice stay. We had a spot for 2 weeks in the RV area. No issues with anyone. Peaceful, quiet, friendly. Perfect stay for an off-the-grid vacation. *This is not a reflection of the campsite but be aware cell service is limited at best!*
