13 Comments on “McArthur Burney Falls Memorial State Park”

  1. Maria Mejia says:

    These have to be the most amazing falls in CA. We walked along the trail that goes all the way around the falls and we also went down onto the rocky floor near the falls to feel the spray from the falls. The amount of water pouring down is mind blowing. It’s also fun to sit and watch for birds to come darting out from behind the waterfall curtain. The camp ground is nicely spread out. Pretty good facilities. We stayed in a cabin that was good for two people and gear. It was too close to the road, however and the sound of trucks would keep you awake if you didn’t have ear plugs. there is a squirrel problem at this campground. They have been fed by humans so much they are not afraid of them. We had to resort to water bottle tactics in the evening. Use the critter locker!

  2. Nice, clean park. Beautiful falls and lots of walking trails. PCT runs right through it.
    Heads up for campers- We found out at check-in that sites 78 & 79 are buddy sites and share a common driveway so no privacy between them. Reserve America does not indicate this detail when booking either of those site numbers.

  3. Jerry Wheeler says:

    Are generators allowed in the campground?

  4. SCastillo says:

    Are the fire rings and grates suitable for grilling? How far is the walk to the lake? Can I drive there from the campsites or is there alternative transportation for disabled people?

    • Hi S Castillo,
      The fire rings and grates at McArthur Burney Falls Memorial State Park campground are not the best for grilling (the distance between the slats is about an inch), but you should be able to grill hotdogs, burgers, chicken and steaks, etc. Remember to get your fire and embers really hot before trying to grill anything.

      Also, Lake Britton is about 1.2 miles from the campground and you can walk, bike or drive your car on Lake Road to the Burney Creek Pier parking area (next to the lake).

  5. Hilary C Weitzel says:

    Are pets allowed at the campsite?

  6. can i rent a handicap site even though i am not handicap? what is the difference between them and the other sites? we have a 31 ft rv.. will it fit?

    • Hi Caren,

      Only vehicles with ADA/handicap license plates and/or stickers are allowed in ADA/Handicap campsites. Generally a handicapped/ADA site will be paved and have other features to make the site more accessible for individuals that are disabled.

  7. What is the difference between a regular campsite and a dedicated tent campsite at the Rim campground? Thanks.

    • Hi Rhonda, The regular sites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. The dedicated tent campsites are only for tent camping. Some tent camping sites may also require a little walk from the parking area.
