Pretty campground but sites are awfully close. Also, if you're looking at site 10, please note that it is NOT suitable if you're towing a camper. The driveway is at an extreme angle making it impossible to back in. It is also sloped so unless you're willing to put a lot of faith in that front jack, it's not feasible. We had to drive home as there were no other available sites.

We weren't even able to get there. We are on the East side and to get there We would have had to go through the Indian reservation which requires a special pass or go around it which would take hours. We didn't learn this until the day we left so too late for canceling. We went to Clear Lake instead. No reservations needed and it was absolutely beautiful!

The camp hosts were amazing. I forgot my tent poles and they let me borrow a tent.

We absolutely loved this campsite, as well as the journey to get there. Absolutely gorgeous scenery everywhere, flowing rivers, Mt. Adams views, waterfalls, wildflowers. We always camp during the week, so our experience may be atypical. The campground was mostly empty. We were on the side away from the river and we were all alone except for the camp host, Craig (more about him in a second) and one other lone camper. Our tent is in the back of the truck, so once we are set up, our truck cannot be moved. We found lots of great walking paths in the area and found a "hidden" waterfall" up the road a piece. But, the camp host, Craig, was the sweetest, kindest man. He was exactly what you would want in someone taking care of our public forests. I can't say enough good things about him. He was welcoming, but not obtrusive. We highly recommend this place.

Adams fork is a beautiful campground. It’s a great place to camp among the trees and along the river. It was clean, quiet, organized and the host was great. We were in the area to ride dirt bikes and there is plenty of single track nearby. I would definitely stay again.

The primitive bathroom was clean, but running water and a shower would be really nice.
