2 Reviews Add Review

Reservable sites at this Fairfax County facility accommodate RVs up to 25 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. The campground operates from mid-April through October and provides drinking water, restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Sites feature close quarters with some positioned within 20 feet of restroom facilities, creating potential noise considerations for light sleepers.

Burke Lake offers fishing opportunities and boat rentals, while a five-mile paved path circles the water for walking or cycling. Additional park amenities include a playground, carousel, kiddy train, and disc golf course. Burke Lake Park Campground provides another option just over half a mile away for campers preferring different site layouts.

Great Amenities, small, adjacent sites

BLP has a great lake for fishing and boat rentals, a paved path to walk around the lake (about 5 miles) and a fantastic playground. There is a carousel and a kiddy train, frisbee golf, a regular golf course - all a short drive from DC.

We reserved campsite B14. it was right next to the bathroom (we wanted to be near the restroom for the kids) but it was about 20 ft away, so pretty distracting. The sites were oddly shaped - our grill was on the edge of the site, closer to the neighbor's picnic table. Our neighbors were all nice and respectful, but the quarters were very close.

If you are going to BLP, go for the amenities, and don't plan to spend much time at the campsite. It's an awesome park!
