The location is really nice and the camp manager was super friendly.
The only downside are many muskitos...

This campground was extremely well maintained. Clean campsites and the cleanest camp bathrooms I’ve ever seen. The host was attentive and available. Short walk to the lake (about 2 minutes) and nearby store/restaurant (about 6 minutes). Would recommend for adults and children.

We loved staying at Forks!! We booked site 20 on a whim and lucked out since site 21 wasn’t available to reserve at the time we went so we had the entire top of the campground to ourselves. The bathrooms were nice and flush toilets were a luxury for us haha. I would definitely stay here again :)

Our campsite was surrounded by poison oak Right by the edge of the only spots to place tents. Scary stuff. We alerted the guide in charge. He had no idea it was poison oak. Another scary thing.

The forks campground is located just across the road from a nice swimming cove adjacent from the Forks General store/Restaurant, and Marina. Our campsite (#9) wasn’t good for the camper we had but, we made it work. It also had ZERO shade from sunup to sundown.
The camp host (Tonya I think) was just fantastic! Came and introduced herself after we got situated, let us know about firewood bundles available for purchase, and offered info about the area. The bathrooms were cleaned often, she also shut down a disrespectful group partying hard with a firm mater-of-fact way that let everybody know you don’t talk back.
All-in-all, our family of 4 had a good time. We’ll just have to pack some shade next time!

Overall good experience. Bathrooms were not kept up as well as previous visits though. The lake was a great way to beat the heat.
