Parking

There’s free parking and it’s in the dirt/grass. Parking here can look really crazy when you first drive up. People park waaay out from the entrance gate because they don’t think there’s up close parking. But here’s a secret: There’s ALWAYS up close parking right by the entrance. Pull into the dirt road to get into Burley and head towards the entrance where there’s a bunch of trees. I park here every time and it’s just a few steps from the flea market.

Know before you go

This flea market is DUSTY and DIRTY. It’s basically a dirt fair ground type of area. I wear a face mask whenever I go because the dust makes me cough. Do not wear white shoes or nice clothes. Be sure to bring a water bottle because it can get hot. I also bring reusable bags and a backpack because I buy so many things. Be sure to bring cash because most of the vendors do not accept credit cards.

There are plenty of consession stands here if you’d like to eat lunch.

What kind of shopping is it?

There’s a huge mix of shopping here, it’s definitely a junky flea market. There’s booths selling new stuff and some people selling bushes and flowers. You’ll see a weird mix of stuff from bongs to blankets. But most of the market is vintage and antique items.

How are the prices?

This flea market has really cheap stuff which is why it’s my favorite. Some of the items can be pretty dirty and need a good clean. But you can find really great vintage items for very little money. For example, I found my vintage Santa blow mold for just $10 here which is a really great deal. You never know what you’ll find!
