Pull through sites side by side on north side on a man-made lake. Clean pit toilet.

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

Burns Lake is a very primitive campground that we really enjoy going to even though we pull a fifth wheel. The campground hosts have always been nice. I don’t want to say too good of things because I don’t want the campground to be full the next time we want to go there!!!
