Good spacing between sites. Pretty well maintained. Only downside was the very loud group across the river in a private campground. Not much camp hosts can do about that kind of thing though.

Campsite 32 was a little smaller than expected, but we were able to squeeze an 8-person tent in.

I loved the long driveway to my site. I enjoyed that hand soap was refilled by the campout at the bathrooms. Having the dogs with us at camp was great.

We had a very nice site. The camp host was very pleasant. Only thing is that we have a 31' 5th wheel, and it was VERY tight getting my trailer and truck in the site. Other than that, a very nice stay.

South Fork campground is a small treasure. The campground is well kept, the vault toilets were clean and smell free. The camp sites have great fire pits that are insulated and cool to the touch on exterior. Great picnic table and the pedestal for a grill ir griddle was perfect. The camp host was helpful and kind. The nearby river was a great background to all our camp activities.

Do not recommend this campground at all. Our site was far too close to the bathrooms and the smell was horrible - our site shouldn’t have even been a site due to the proximity to the bathrooms. My husband and I were kept awake until 2:30am from the partying going on a few sites over. Loud music, yelling, you name it. Upon our arrival we asked the camp host if we could move anywhere else because there were open sites and he did not help at all, but did admit “the bathrooms can smell bad sometimes.” The sheriff drove around the campground prior to sunset but we understand why now (gates lock at 10pm or else I’m sure he would’ve done it later, too). If you want a quiet, family friendly campground this is NOT the place to stay. Guests were also unruly and had no common courtesy. At one point we thought someone was trying to break the door to the mens bathroom. We also couldn’t even sit at the picnic table due to the smell of the bathrooms. Host did not do anything to upkeep the campground. Horrible experience. We moved to Anderson Cove the next day where those hosts were wonderful and very concerned about our stay at South Fork.
