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.

There’s RV spots in front of the tent spots so you have to park farther away. The tent spots are huddled very close together, a little closer than I’d like for a walk in site. There is no shade at any of the tent sites but you do have a picnic table & fire ring. There’s no utility sink by the bathroom for dishes, but it is flush toilets. Showers are available by the boat ramp, $3 in quarters for 10min

The sites are super close together, there are little walls between them but those do little for privacy. Or shade, this site’s picnic table was in full sun until the sunset and again as soon as it rose.
The bathrooms don’t have a utility sink, just a sign that says not to wash dishes in the bathroom sink.

Basically a parking lot. We went for 4th of July weekend. We had hoped to be close to the water, but it was so low the lake edge was still some distance from the campground. Spaces are right next to each other, if you’re planning to go I’d rent two next to each other. Otherwise you might not be able to open your slide-out or your awning. You’ll need that awning too, and a canopy, because there isn’t any shade. Bathrooms were nice and clean, there was potable water nearby, but be sure to come in with a full fresh tank. The water hoses at the dump/water station don’t have any connections making it difficult to fill your fresh water or to clean your black water tank. Showers are there too, $3.00 for 10 minutes, maintained by marina, and not very clean. We made the best of it, but I will not be staying here again.

The site was clean but it was on the top of the hill and so the wind was terrible and we could not set up our tent. Neighbor tents were blown into our campsite as well. It was so bad we had to purchase another site lower to be able to stay.

This site was easy to access. The tent area was larger than the other lower sites which was nice. There was a wind advisory with 40 mph gusts, that we had to anchor our tent to the fire pit and our car. There is no shade at any of the camp ground sites, but there is a wooden barrier around the picnic table so my husband used an extra rain fly to attach to it and the picnic table to create a nice shade for us to have. We were right next to the bathrooms, but not so close it was bothersome. The bathrooms were very clean and accessible.

The lower loop is nice. It is close to the lake. The spots are very very tight. Good thing we didn’t have a neighbor. It would be nice if there was some power for charging your boat batteries since there’s bathrooms on one side with power and EV charging station on the other

Hard to navigate the trail in the dark, but a short trail and nice views.

I liked this campground. It has all the amenities (shower, potable water, flush toilet), a very helpful host, level place to park (I'm a car camper). Everything is clean. There are many sites that overlook the serene Blue Mesa Reservoir. It's reservable, peaceful, and an easy drive to the Curecanti visitor's center, hikes, Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Sites are extra wide asphalt spaces with a picnic table at the curb. There's no shade at all in this campground, but if your main purpose is to see the area, that's not an issue. I'll camp here again!
