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.

The lake!! Absolutely gorgeous! If you have a boat this is a great place to put it in the water, BUT if not go elsewhere. The camp host was awesome!! So nice and helpful! She made our stop so much better. Rangers and other workers were all great!
The pros: right on water, can watch boats and has an RV dump station. Sadly that's it
The cons: it's pretty much a parking lot with assigned spaces. There's no RV water fill station, just potable water for jugs. Leveling can be tough as most of it's a hill. Getting to the dock and water means a long walk up and down a big hill! We had a reservation for a week as we waited for our reservation at the National Park, but left after 2nd night as an RV pulled in next to us and ran their generator constantly. We would not stay here again.

While showers were not listed as an amenity there were 4 of them. Unfortunately the water temp wash room temperature at best. Still better than nothing. $3.00 for 10 minutes I think.

It is an asphalt marking lot called a campground.
Not even a place to put a tent!
We found another campground down the road!

This is basically a tent parking lot
Would recommend switching to walk up campsites on south rim of black canyon instead
