Great little place
Great primitive sites with upgrades bath houses. Camp store has the basics and the staff have always been friendly! Park offers a lake for fishing and kayaking, 5 mile trail around the lake, disc golf, mini golf, carousel, and a cool little train. After all that you can hit up the ice cream parlor.

Nice Wooded Area
This was my second time going Burke Lake and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Some of the sites can look pretty close together, especially if you have more than one tent, but you do have your own space without feeling too cramped. There is no electricity at this site.
My site was close to the bathrooms on the backside (where there is a potable water spout). The bathrooms were pretty clean and were stocked with plenty of toilet paper. If you want a spot closer to the bathroom front side, try looking out around B14 or B15. My mom uses a walker and she is able to walk from our site on the back to the bathrooms as long as she goes slow and looks out for roots. So, the bathrooms are in walking distance if you can only make a short walk to get to the bathrooms. Regarding a handicap accessible stall, none seemed to be handicap*, but I didn't open all of them to check. *If I am incorrect just let me know and I will edit the review*
The actual sites and campground is nice. There is a field and a small trail you can walk to get to the actual lake circuit. The camp store at the sites was closed already on 10/30, which surprised us because we went the same weekend last year and the store was still open. If you are camping here at the end of October I recommend making sure you have brought enough wood just in case the store is closed and you cannot quickly buy more.
The fire ring does not have a grill included, but there is a separate charcoal grill as seen in my picture with the tent. If you have a big enough grill grate however, you can put it over the fire or balance it on the ring (which we were able to do).
A fun little note: I don't know much about foraging, but if you go at the right time of year (which I guess was kind of now) you can find some fun nuts and mushrooms to look at and find. *DO NOT EAT ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING 100% SURE WHAT IT IS* Please note I said look at and find NOT eat!!!

Nice facility and great view from the lake
Nice camp ground easy to register and with nice facilities(toilet&bath). There are 5g signal for T-mobile. Camp sites are pretty close and no much block between sites. Many bugs around my site even in Oct, maybe because site near water. Daddy long legs are queued up to enter my tent. Better prepare some pesticide.
