Burns Run West

Still a major problem of people staying without paying trashing out the park, corps need a sign in front at the gate, must have a paid reservation BEFORE setting up camp. They are being aloud to ruin camping for others, things tend to disappear from the camps around them. Rangers are aware their there and do nothing, anyone with a phone can bring up Rec.gov and see they are in a open spot that they have not paid. Paying customers watch them drive by and do nothing.

I have been a big fan of West Burns Run since I was a kid. But this year was different. It seems that the powers that be are now allowing homeless to stay in spots. I know its difficult to regulate but when a person has their broke down truck with the back window. Broken out and the hood up and the entire motor removed its a major failure for me.

Fun

This has the potential to be a five star campground - it has a wonderful beach area next to Lake Texoma and lots of shaded areas. The grounds themselves were well maintained BUT their bath house was the worst I’ve ever experienced. There was literally mold and mildew over all the walls and ceilings. We had no choice but to use them because we have got the water sorted out in our camper yet, but it was really gross. The ants were also so so bad. Our campsite was like one giant anthill. I’ve never seen so many ants in one spot in my life.

Lovely campground, big sandy beach, nice winding road to ride bikes on or walk, plenty of shade, clean restrooms and campground, nice concrete pads, great staff.

Well mainrained facility on beautiful Lake Texoma. The camp staff are friendly and available if assistance is needed. Highly recommend.

We had a nice site. Bathrooms were dark though as well as very warm and stuffy. The hand blower didn’t work and there were no paper towels.

The view of Texoma Lake from Burns Run West is awe inspiring. The area is peaceful, full of wildlife (deer almost every morning, little burrowing moles making a home near us, and geese stopping nearby for a break in their flight). The long pull through spaces under the tall trees are just gorgeous, even tho we've never been able to book one. The winding roads make for a special place to walk or ride bikes. There are two playgrounds situated on either end of the grounds that are clean and fun. Restrooms are clean and roomy but need lighting. Overall, it's one of our favorite places to camp.

Burns Run West has the best sunsets of all of Lake Texoma. Someone is always mowing there or running a string trimmer. We go there often! Clean bathrooms, too.

Please! Do something about the entry way into the park. Those of us that have long trailers have a hard time squaring up on the entry way. We have to run off the road a bit, to the right towards the tree, and then cut back towards the gate. Once we are squared up on the entry way we have to negoiate the fence by coming as close to it as we can without hitting it so that our RV doesn't scrape the roof of the building.
In addition, if you could speak with whom ever ownes the road getting to the park it would be greatly apprciated if they would cut the tree limbs back from hanging over the road.
Thank you, other than that it's a great place to camp.
