What Guests Are Saying

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.

It was early season so I had the campground to myself. The bathrooms were clean and warm. There was no trash anywhere and the views are great.!!

We were there in late September, so there were very few other campers there, If it had been even 1/3 full it would have felt extremely cramped camping, but we had the luxury of many empty sites next to us, and it was a beautiful location to watch the sunset. You do hear the noise from the road which is a busy road during the day, less busy at night but trucks are moving again very early. bathroom was super clean.
