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.

Amazing spot! We loved the view and how peaceful it was. There weren’t many people tent camping, which made it even better.

My friend and I booked this campsite to enjoy a little Labor Day weekend getaway and we both walked away happy with the experience! Running water bathrooms was a nice bonus, more of a "suburban" style campground so we felt safer but our site was tucked back in the bushes which was nice. View was great, the one photo of the needle-like mountain scape isn't anywhere close to the campground (15 min drive and even longer by paddleboard), but still pretty either way. We wish we had a bear box in each campsite, but instead there's one shared between all of them in the tent-only section, we opted for our car instead but it was still a little trek back and forth. Overall a great spot and we'd love to visit again (maybe later or earlier in the year since there's no trees for shade when it gets hot).

Lakeside campsites with amenities and quick access to the water in the morning made it a nice place to stay.

We have stayed at Lake Fork campground on & off for 20 years, In those days drive in & plck a spot put your money in the envelope easy. How things have changed.
Our stay was fine this year, The bathrooms were well kept ,Thank you.
Some people we talked to had trouble getting the site to work so they could stay & they just drove away.
The old way seemed so much better, with our stay their I don't think no more than 6 or 8 campers ever stay in the upper level, makes you wonder why with that nice campground. Thank you Harvey & Carol, St, Francis Ks.
