The grounds and bathroom were well maintained by staff personnel (Carmen was on duty the time we were there). We appreciated the fire ring and picnic table. There were lovely views of the the lake.
It seemed like such an amazing stay for being in the National Parks system as the little town and the lake were a convenient short walk from the site.
A drive partially around the lake revealed other small communities and shops. Note: there is no convenient access to completely go around the lake.

Nice quiet park on the lake. Site 8 was full sun and got very hot during the day. Forks has basic flush toilets and water taps, no showers. We went to Millers Landing for $5 shower tokens.

The campgrounds are clean and swept, fire pits are empty and ready for use. The host, Carmen, was sweet and helpful. Beautiful views of the lake

It was 94 degrees and excellent! Bears in the area...but friendly and excellent. Always rent a pontoon boat and go fast! And eat at the Forks Restaurant Nextdoor...best hamburgers in the world. We love Forks campground and it has great views of the lake.
