What Guests Are Saying
North Fork Campground is praised for its beautiful, peaceful setting along the river, spacious and shaded campsites, and friendly camp host, Sue. Many visitors enjoyed the amazing swimming hole and fresh spring water, making it a delightful escape for families and nature lovers. However, some concerns were raised about the access road's condition and the odor from the bathrooms, but overall, guests expressed a strong desire to return.

Very nice campground. Easy to find and get to, large though not very private sites. Clean and well maintained pit toilets, potable well water and dumpsters for trash. All sites are very very close to the North Fork of the North Fork - which is more of a creek than a river at that point but there are some beautiful swimming holes up and down stream within a 10 min walk either direction. Some off-trail hiking opportunities in the area.

This place is magical. Great swimming holes, jump rocks, and wading pools. Campsites are well shaded most of the day and each site is quite large so you’re not too close to your neighbors. Can’t wait to get back!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
