We really enjoy staying at Burns Lake. The campground hosts are always helpful and always around when we have questions or need help.

It was a great stay on a fabuleus place with a very friendly host.

Burns Lake is a beautiful, off-the-grid camping spot. It's close to some awesome kayaking areas. The mosquitoes can be pretty killer...

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.

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!*

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

Nice long sites, easy to drive around campground. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Very quiet and peaceful. Saw at least a dozen alligators. Close to airboat rides and Everglades City for good restaurants. Recommend bringing all the groceries you will need as shopping is very limited. There is a dump station at USACE Midway campground 16 miles East and also at the volunteer campground at Birdon Rd and Tamiami which is 9 miles West and appears to be open to the public. We would stay there again, however, we won't unless they grade the road to the campground. It is 1 mile long and nothing but potholes...terrible! Worst road we have ever been on. We actually think the potholes cut our sidewall in our RV tire we had to replace. We have a fifth wheel with tote and pull with a semi-truck (79 feet long). See video of campground on our Youtube Channel "Watts on Wheels".

A gem of a campground! Dark skies and quiet nights, quite a ways off the road. And the camp hosts were awesome and super helpful! Highly recommend!

Needed a place to get away from a storm. Burns Lake was easy to get to, and had nice clean pull through spots with an easy turn around the lake to get back out. Saw a couple gators and caught a few fish while I was there. Pretty quiet, only a couple other overnighters. Would definitely go back.

The hosts camp were marvelous (we had mechanical problem with my truck) the spot is quiet and small so its very confortable. But need a little improvement about cellular and internet.

Pretty lake and very friendly hosts. I prefer a more wooded site
@RichardH338463 · Camped on Feb 15, 2022 at Campsite #3
I like this campground. On a small lake. No facilities except pit toilets, but close to hiking, biking and kayaking trails. Only problem is folks run their generators all day long and late into the evening. I wish generators hours were more restricted.

Very small camping area, maybe 10 RV sites on one side of the small lake & 10 tent sites on the other side. 1 vault toilet on each side. No water available. But very beautiful & quiet. Not "buggy" when we were there.

Pretty camp ground in the Everglades, where we dry camped. No wifi, nor much around. Peaceful and quiet.

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.

This is a small campground situated around a lake. All sites are pull-throughs with no shade and no hookups, but otherwise a very nice campground. No compaints from me. The host is very nice.

Please make it clear on either the website or on the reservation information that there is a host on the property. I almost didn’t make the reservation because I wasn’t sure if it was going to be a safe place at night. I never saw the host, however, but it was comforting to see that once I arrived.
