Perfect location! Shady, quiet but also near water and restrooms. A short walk to local fork’s restaurant and lakeside! Highly recommend it! Can’t wait for our next trip.

Our campsite (6) was perfect for our smaller travel trailer. The campground hosts were friendly and the restrooms were very clean and well stocked. The campground is on a hillside with a variety of sites and terrain.

Excellent campground! Host was really nice and helpful. This campground felt super safe, I came here alone and had a great time. The sites are some of the cleanest I’ve seen. Loved it so much I already booked another trip here. Cell service was spotty (Verizon) enough signal for text messages in certain areas.

This was my first time staying at the Forks Campground and it will definitely not be my last. The campground is well kept and quiet. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. The campground is just walking distance to the Forks restaurant/store (really good food). Down the road maybe 10 minutes is Millers Landing. The campgrounds is 10 minutes from Oakhurst and about an hour to Tunnel View in Yosemite. If you are looking to go camping by yourself, with some friends or your family, Forks Campground is the place to go. What more can you as for a place that over looks Bass Lake.

Forks Campground was amazing! Flushing toilets and very clean bathrooms. Campsites are spaced apart and very comfortable.
Will return again

I missed having electricity and forgot to bring mosquito repellent, but it was a beautiful, private site and an easy walk to Bass Lake. Bass Lake is great, whether you camp or stay in a BNB. We saw bald eagles and osprey fishing in the lake, and a fox at night.
