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.

This should be labeled as a RV parking lot, not a campground.

Great proximity to the lake and a beautiful view of the mountains surrounding the lake, especially if you're camping on the side nearest to it. Every other campground is closed due to Covid, so you have quite a bit of room to yourself for a trailer campground. Bathrooms and campgrounds are very well-kept.

Lake fork "campground" is actually an RV parking lot. It was clean and maintained. Not for tents or overlanders.

Nice view of the reservoir. Remember where your site is! The upper and lower "loops" are the same group of campsites. We hadn't printed a map and couldn't get onto the website, we went all around the outside twice, then looked for a second loop, then went back in and discovered that the sites are numbered all around the perimeter and then down the middle. Clean, level, water was available several sites away, dump station easy to use on exiting. We stayed two nights to visit the Black Canyon of the Gunnison when we couldn't get a space there.
