Burke Lake West

We arrived on a Friday in May and all the spots next to the lake were taken, however this one was on the North side and sat above the lake and we really liked it - Nice views and nice and quiet. Dispersed sites were spread apart nicely so nobody was right next to each other. Lots of trails here for exploring, but do be aware of rattlesnakes as we ran into one!

Discovery Pass required. The road in is like a very bumpy wash board. It needs grading, but the surface is solid and two lane width. We have a 40 foot motorhome and had no issues at all. We unhooked the toad for the gravel road in and used it to explore the large area for the best spot. Clean pit toilets are available in several spots. Great views of the water. Boat ramps are good for most boats up to 18' or less. We saw mostly aluminum boats, some on trailers. Spots are spaced out nicely so your not right next to each other. Nice. Some spots have enough room for two rigs. Spots are all dirt, no gravel at all. Bring a large outdoor rug if you have one to put your chairs on. Rock fire pits. Great place for fishing or hiking. Can be very windy at times. T-Mobile is spotty, we drove around, watching the phone bars for the best coverage and found a spot that had 4 bars, many other spots had 0-3. It seems the higher your spot elevation, the better.
