About North Fork Campground

North Fork Campground is set in a towering aspen grove on the western slope of the Colorado Rockies at an elevation of 7.8 ft. This is an ideal setting for guests seeking recreation and relaxation. Most sites are widely spaced and open up to the river valley, though a heavy understory of tall grass and wild roses provide privacy. The North Fork of the White River is across from the campground.

Convenient base camp for this area of the White River National Forest. The campground is well maintained. We give the campground hosts and other staff a A+.

What a beautiful CG in a beautiful setting. The host was wonderful and informative. Our site was great with shade for our trailer. Make sure to drive the Flats Top Wilderness scenic byway which runs from this CG to Yampa- stunning views! Allow plenty of time for multiple stops and then to get back. Will definitely stay again! Wish the biting flies were not there but that can’t be helped.

Generally had a very nice time tent camping with wife and two teenage sons in early July at camp site 023. Hosts were friendly and keep bathrooms very clean. Our site like most had plenty of tree cover for privacy. Site was a bit sloped from rod to pit/tent area which wasn’t ideal but ok. The pit being in the ground was a little awkward and it got flooded out on the first day of rain. Be ready for an intense mosquito presence (maybe just our bad luck with rain). Lots of birds, some ground squirrels but nothing big like elk or bears. Can hear river from site and east access from camp although it was difficult to find nice spots on the river to wade in so you should research that if you want to experience the river. Trappers Lake offered a great nearby hike. Would stay again. Side activity was Meeker’s July fourth “range call” celebration which was a bit disappointing, especially the bank robbery reenactment, but it was interesting to learn about the town history.

Excellent hosts with a clean campground and bathrooms! A lot of the sites seemed to be uneven but ours was mostly good. Lots of good OHV trails and wildlife in the area! Will definitely stay again.

campgrounds were clean and in great shape. There was a group of us we had 5 sites mostly near the entrance other than the weather beating on us one of our days it was a great stay. Camp host was nice kept things clean and in order. Plenty of firewood, fishing. AT & T and T mobile had cell service. We have always enjoyed our stay here and this time was no different. If hauling you can fill water tanks in Meeker so no need to be heavy going over the passes also you can dump there as well. Great hiking and river fishing

The site we had reserved was impossible for our travel trailer. The park host was very gracious and switched us to a better site. The new site was very difficult to back into, but the host was helpful and patient, and made sure we got backed in without damaging the RV or the truck.
This was our first experience with dry camping, as there were no hookups. Not even cell coverage. But we enjoyed the rain and cooler weather, being around 7800-ft elevation. Coming from Texas it was a needed change!

Really beautiful campground. Some tents spots are a little tight but not a huge issue. Bathrooms were clean and the site was very quiet (aside from our boisterous kids!)
