McArthur - Burney Falls Rim Campground

We went on 7/4/24 for 3 nights and our experience was great. Clean restrooms and showers, every morning I'd see the rangers cleaning them and restocking with paper and soap. The campsites were also very clean. We got site 40 and 41 and they were great for setting up camp, nice and flat, with lots of shade and space. Very relaxing, at night you can hear the river, and it's right next to a trail that goes down to the lake, only around 1 mile but not too hard. The water is ice cold but it was very refreshing for the weather since we were in the 100s. The store was very well stocked and we even bought a few things but especially some ice and ice cream. We loved this campsite and hope to come back next year! Just be careful of the squirrels, they love to look for food so make sure before you leave to store everything in large containers and throw out the trash. The most beautiful campsite I've been to. The waterfall was gorgeous.

We loved this campground! Our family of 4 stayed here for 2 days on our way to Oregon. The falls were closed which was a bummer but we got to see it from the top viewing point and had a ranger tell us some cool facts about the place. We did a small hike at Headwatersb trail and got to feel the river as well. Campsites were cozy, a little close to neighbors & some were loud but what can ya do? Bathrooms were nice & clean, showers were also great (I took one before heading out). 2min per 1 token. fire pits with a grate, wooden squirrel boxes our site didn’t have a bear box. We tent camped and had no trouble backing in our car into our spot. The weather was warm & we slept without our tent cover & woke up to a beautiful scenery. The visitor center was very cool & informative. My daughter learned about the CCC in school so it was neat to see her interested in what they built. They had pamphlets and junior ranger activities posted. The store was very pricey but had lots of things if you were in need. We had deli sandwiches there and ice cream & it was a nice treat but $4 for a Hershey bar was a tough buy. They also sell firewood, souvenirs & such. We walked to the “beach” but it was subpar. Maybe my own opinion coming from San Diego but the water was really murky. My daughters swam in it nonetheless. The rentals were not available due to blue algae disease so we were not able to rent a boat or paddle board FYI. Lots of bees as well Overall a great place & we would come back hopefully when the falls are back open

Amazing campground. Clean facilities, nice neighbors and huge camp sites. The general store on site was a huge plus, and the falls and lake are only a 15 minute walk away. The falls were absolutely spectacular! Took my breath away. The lake seemed nice though we didn't use it. There were boat/kayak rentals and a lot of people out on the water. Definitely will go back asap.

We love staying in the McArthur Campgrounds! The cabins are minimalistic, you'll need to bring your own bedding and battery powered lanterns as there is no electricity in the cabins, but they're safe and secure and that's all we really want out of our camping experience. The campgrounds themselves are impeccably clean, as are the restrooms. There's a general store that has just about anything you could need for your stay and they also make excellent sandwiches and root beer floats! We will continue to come back year after year because it's always a wonderful experience!

First time staying at burney falls rim camp. Everyone we encountered were friendly. Special shout out to Mary and Matt for being amazing camp host volunteers. They helped with answering several questions and came by daily to check on us. We had a big group of teenagers as well and they informed us about park events. Hot and cold showers. Flush toilets both clean and well maintained. Camp sites are spacious. This is a park you don't want to miss. Can't wait to return next summer!
