Burlingame State Park & Campground

I was going on Easter Sunday. It was not a peak season, so almost no other people in the campground. The whole campground is large. Check in at the entrance. Staffs were very nice. They are 24/7 at the entrance. If you need help or anything, you can reach them at the entrance even at night. Tent site has a bench and a large fire pit, but no grill. If you plan to cook something with camp fire, you may need to bring a grill for fire pit or camp fire.

Great clean wooded campground. We’ve stayed at tent sites & a cabin. Outhouses available all around. A couple Indoor bathrooms as well. Shower stalls for 1.00-$2.00 depending how long you want it on and they only accept quarters. There’s an ATM at check in area. Get quarters from the arcade room. Campstore is very convenient. Has everything from eggs, bacon, sausage, milk, coffee, condiments, breads, non perishable foods, snacks, camping essentials, firewood bundles, games, kid stuff, first aid kits, cleaning supplies. They have canoe rentals starting at $40 and single kayak rentals as well for $60 each. Water spickets scattered around close by. Never had any issues with neighboring campers, everyone has always been super respectful. East Beach & Charlestown Breachway 5min down the road which has clear blue waters! ($7 to park at Charlestown Breachway) Walmart 10min from campground.

This review is about the cabins available at Burlingame, there is very little information about them online. Ours was brand-new, sitting on a tidy concrete slab, with windows on each end with good screens to keep out insects. No electricity or water, so bring a lantern. Also, Burlingame is very sandy: it would be a good idea to bring a small outside mat or broom to deal with the sand. There are 2 bunk beds with 4 single beds. No mattresses, just a piece of plywood, so bring a mattress or pad. We loved the cabin. It’s a luxury to be able to stand up and not deal with a tent zipper. No grill, only a fire pit, so bring one for cooking. I’m taking off a star due to the very long walk to the restrooms/showers, with no evident path to it from the cabin area (and that park map needs an update!). The nearby port-a-potty was OK though. Burlingame is huge, but our cabin area (on the edge of the campground) was very quiet and we slept great. Beautiful forest, and it’s close to many great beaches & trails. The people who run the campground are great. We will be back…

I gave it a five stars because of location, lake, staff friendliness and large clean camp sites. But restrooms could use more cleaning at non rush hour times. Plus they should have motor rv’s placed in a designated area. We were fine tenting, then our last evening got a huge bus rv on side camp area running the generator non stop. Our site 461 was awesome.

Perfect campground tucked away unexpectedly (unexpected for a girl relatively new to the area) there’s a day picnic area on one side of the lake which is exactly what it sounds like- an area with lake access for swimming and spending the day. Across the lake is the overnight campgrounds with an awesome little lake swimming area/ beach, cabins, camp sites, arcade, store, playground and a few other things sprinkled throughout. This place took me back to a simpler time in life, neighboring campers were friendly and respectful, the campgrounds clean and well maintained, the swimming area suited for everyone. Great place to camp, kayak, stand up paddle board and make lasting memories

Great place to kayak. They have the cutest cabins for rent, a camp store, volleyball, basketball courts.
