Kind of isolated site, we like the quiet and peace that goes with it.
Bathrooms were clean and the grounds were well kept.

We went to this campground for out recently completed camping 11 June to 13 June 2021 & our experience was good.
We were on site#26 , this site location is perfect lake view location, only cons was no shade & in warm weather, there is no way to hide except if you have canopy or umbrellas to use, but site location is perfect for two tents, we used one 9*7 & one 10*12 tent & good space for two car parking.
This campground is small & easy to reach very clean flushable Restrooms, from our site restroom was just approx 50-60 steps away.
One more plus advantage of this Forks campground , this has Goat Mountain Trail way & it is only 200 steps approx away from this camp site#26.
This Goat Mountain Trail is very good trail for hiking, not for stroller & have good woods shaddy path.
Bass lake was very walking distance approx 0.5 or less miles. overall this trip was awesome & this place & campground was 5 star.

Is the campsite host was the most amazing host I've ever had in my life. I just wish they weren't so strict about bringing smokers to the campsite After all every other camping place has no problem with my smoker because it's on the trailer and sealed up fire proof.

Loved our time at this campground! Lots of beautiful campsites, many with lake views. Bathrooms were super clean and all the sites were well maintained. The hosts were so friendly and helpful and took a lot of pride in keeping the place tidy. There is a dump station, water station, restaurant, general store, and boat rental walking distance from the campground. The road rimming the lake is not busy and we enjoyed a few bike rides to explore different parts of the lake. There is a trailhead in the campground for Goat Mountain trail which was gorgeous with lots of spring flowers and we even saw a bald eagle! Lots of hawks and not too many squirrels at this campground. There are easy points to access the lake walking or bike riding distance from the campground. highly recommend! Do be aware that some of the camp sites have uneven parking if you're in an RV. we had spotty cell signal with AT&T and Verizon.
