Lake Fork Campground offers beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains, providing a peaceful atmosphere, particularly during less crowded times. The campground features clean bathrooms, accessible drinking water, and ample amenities for RVs, making it a pleasant stay for many visitors. However, some campers noted limited shade, tight campsite spacing, and the campground's parking lot-like layout, which may detract from the experience for those seeking a more traditional camping environment.

Wasn't too crowded when we there, just a few other surrounding campers, so it was perfect. The weather was also perfect, the best time to go is definitely late September. The views are awesome, did some trails in the surrounding area, got really cool shots of all the beautiful fall colors. It was just a really cool experience overall. Definitely recommend this campground!!

Beautiful. Beyond beautiful. I appreciate them closing off every other site for Covid regulations. It made it less crowded. Perfect weekend! We WILL be back!

I can't say enough about how great our visit's to Lake Fork campground and Elk Creek campgrounds have been this year. Most importantly is how friendly and helpful your staff is! I always look forward to their smiling faces :) I don't know if the staff that inspects the boats is connected to you, but I hope you can pass on what a great bunch of people they are! I always looked forward to seeing them when we pulled our boat in or out. What a great bunch of guys! A few times we were inspected while cleaning our fish at the WONDERFUL fish cleaning stations you have, the park rangers were so friendly and helpful. We also had our licenses and fish that we caught inspected while out on the water one time. What a great bunch of people! Again, they were so friendly and cheerful. Wow! We had a great time at Blue Mesa Reservoir this year. Wow! Thank you!

Basically your in a asphalt parking lot except instead of parking spaces you have RV spaces. Side-by-side‘s are close cramped but because of COVID-19 they are using every other space so side-by-side‘s are nice and roomy. Best spaces will be your back in spaces once Covid Is gone / this campground has a dumpsite or add water /a place to dump your trash and clean bathrooms / there are no hook ups at this campground but for the cost it’s a good deal
