I loved the fact that the site is a mile from Rt. 41 and you don't hear any noise from cars/trucks. I really enjoyed site #13. I even had intermittent cell signal with mint mobile/T-mobile.

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.

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

Fine place, very quiet.

Very quiet during our stay. Its pleasant having the lake separation between true camper and RV campers. The volunteer camp hosts were great. Facilities very well maintained. We especially enjoyed our neighbor across the road - 8-10 ft alligator. LOL

Very close to Turner River for great kayaking. Volunteers very helpful.

Ground was very muddy and tons of mosquitos. Booked for 2 nights seated within 5 hours. The kids a week later still has the bites all over their bodies. We had thermal cells, off bug spry, off candles. Kids mosquito bracelets. We used red lights for visibility. Horrible waste of money. Plus we had a gator that kept trying to attack us.

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.

Love the primitive campground. Night stars were amazing. Unfortunately the dew is so heavy there it is hard to enjoy the evenings or mornings as everything gets soaked to the bode even on the most beautiful clear days and nights. But the quiet and solitude are perfect for peaceful camping.

Lovely, scenic campsite after a day of hiking in Fakahatchee. Some of fellow campers were loud, but what can you do

Enforce the rules when it comes to off road vehicles.

12/20 HIGH WATER! everywhere but the camp and road, and trails and side areas were flooded. tip w-look for camp fire wood on road in. no biting bugs, but tons of 'may flies' non biting, but left a lantern on, and 10 min later thousands of flies covering table, lantern etc. use red light! ground was wet at night. and heavy due. vault toilets clean but no water, no power. no cell signal. could slightly hear trucks at night, just barely. dirt road into lake. has some potholes ok for cars, rv's. but go slow.
