Unfortunately, the misquotes were so bad that we had to sleep in our car. Nice campground, but I wish it were more affordable.

Beautiful location with a resident alligator (he's cool). Got rather rowdy on a Friday night. Trucks driving fast around the lake, groups of people arriving at 1:30 and driving around several times to find a campsite, a group of people trying to take the campsite we had rerserved online. We felt a bit like rubes as we were obviously the only people who bothered to pay for our campsites. Could use a ranger drive through each night to settle things down.

Except for the camp host, not having control over a family’s kids that chose to ride their very loud gas powered motorized toys. I felt unsafe and uncomfortable if they were only riding on the road, would’ve been one thing but cutting through the lots and going wherever they chose they were just very rude people. He probably had a very hard time dealing with them. They went around flashing flashlights all over the place, disrupting peoples evenings as well.

Always so quiet...relaxed. The week of a beautiful moon. It's absolutely the best but don't anyone believe me (because I want it all to myself). Oh...the picnic table in site 16 needs a little help...

We enjoyed the quiet and accessibility to the preserve. The dirt road viewing area was one of our favorites. Drive slow and you will see so much wildlife.

the tent sites are primitive in the best possible way. They are well separated from RV sites, nicely spaced and each is backed up to trees overlooking Burns Lake. Primitive also meaning there are no facilities or luxuries like potable water. There are clean but minimal toilet facilities, an outhouse comode in a block building strong enough to survive a Cat 5 hurricane but no sink or water faucet. That said the skies were some of the darkest I’ve ever seen, the wilderness is expansive and undisturbed. I loved it.
