This is a beautiful site with nice facilities.  It is close enough for shopping and restaurants should that be needed and isolated enough to enjoy the outdoors.

This is a great location.  Good Cell Service - even though we go to unplug.

Burns Run West is a nice camp ground on the Oklahoma side of Texoma. The bathrooms could use a little attention (still cleaner than some places!) and our site was missing the fire ring, other than that it wasn’t terrible. The sites are a little too close to each other for our taste so you can hear all the conversations of the neighboring sites. BUT our site has a quick access to the nice sanding beach of the lake which looks pretty amazing for a hot summer day ❤️. Still a nice quick getaway!

Nice Camp Ground

Stayed in Loop C which has large pull thru sites and full hookups.  Loop C is wooded so there is sufficient shade to cut out the sun.  We enjoyed our stay and will return in the future.

Awesome COE campground

Nice swimming area for the two young kids. Water hookups right next to campsite. Lots of ants at the campground meant a trip to the store for more bug killer. Woken up one morning by park worker mowing near our tent which sprayed our bags with clippings. Not many shade spots so beware if it is hot. Decent stay overall.

We had such a great time while camping here. The sites were a good size and had lots of shade. We had an amazing view of the lake! We stayed at site 13 on loop B and we were located close to the bath house, which was very convenient. We did not have access to the lake at our site. Our pad was pretty level, not a concrete pad though. The campsites seemed close to each other. Unfortunately I was not able to find a campground map. The beaches were clean and had legit beach sand, which was very nice! This was a great stay, I recommend!

Super Shady Sites!

This is a nice shady spot with a lot of space for a few tents or an rv. Space has electric and a nice lake view. You do have to walk down the hill and through some sand to get to the beach.
