Camping at Burney Falls
Burney Falls provides one of the finest camping
experiences in Northern California and it does it on a year round
basis. Amenities include flushing toilets, hot showers, and a general
store with food service, coffee, firewood and more. This is an
excellent campground for families with junior ranger programs that
everyone will enjoy. During our last stay we attended an entertaining
program on rats with wings (bats)
at the campfire
ampitheater. Those with small children should know that sites
42, 43, and 44 are relatively near the rim of the gorge and may cause a
bit of unease as the kids roam around (its a long fall). The campground
is only a short walk from the falls and a slightly longer hike from
Lake Britton.
The campground is now divided into rim Camp and Pioneer Camp. Pioneer
Camp includes a cabin area with 24 cabins as well 35 cam sites. Rim
Camp features seven handicapped accessible sites and
the only restrooms and showers with handicapped access. While dogs are
allowed at all the sites Pioneer Camp is probably better suited since
they are allowed on Pioneer Hiking Trail only (with a leash). The sites
are excellent, all quite level and typically with plenty of room. Eight
people and three vehicles (that includes trailers) are allowed at each
family site. Each has a fire ring, picnic table, food storage, and many
have one of those outdoor woodstove type things.

a camping reservation within the park.
