Burns Lake Campground

Campground hosts aren't enforcing quiet hours, woken up by RV generators at midnight then again at 530am both nights we stayed. RVs need to camp at Monument, just a couple miles to the east if they can't live without electricity, tents need someplace to enjoy without all that racket. RV and tent camping just aren't compatible. Other than the lack of sleep we enjoyed our stay, it was clean and well-maintained

Nice, simple Campground. The rv space is facing the wrong way, away from the water. Alligators do live in the lake. Not dog walking friendly.

It is a really beautiful campground. Only downside and a warning to other astronomers, the night skies are actually not very dark. I went here to set up a telescope, and I was very disappointed how bright the sky was towards Miami.

Very quiet, not too crowded, hosts were helpful and friendly, didn’t see any gators or bears. The bugs got really bad right after sundown, but fortunately we had a screened in awning. What are you gonna do? That’s camping in the Everglades. Overall had a great experience.

I just drove by as I was braving Route 41, but this is an excellent primitive campground. Huge lake on the center, means fishing the entire day (and eating), plus wild forest all over, great for hunting. They have bear proof food storage, bathroom (no water or electric). Only thing that I didn't like so much is that all camp sites are in wild open areas, so you get the full power of Florida's sun on your tent.

Site was nice but very close to the lake. We were one of the only ones there and it is quite terrifying. You hear splashing every 20 or 30 minutes or so that can only come from alligators and when we woke up there was an eight alligator 10 ft from our tent. He didn't back down and run away either just sat and watched us waiting for our dog to come close. It was a great experience I suppose but make sure you are prepared to be near alligators if you come here.
