I arrived at the campground and did not like it. I left a half hour after arriving and went home. I didn't like the campground because the campsite was small, no place to park my truck, it was on the side of a hill. Also, I like campgrounds with trees, and this one was half sage brush and half trees.

This is a relatively small campground located just off the road heading farther up into the mountains. Access is easy, vault toilets, potable water, and trash dumpsters in a couple locations. A nice stream runs along the edge. The campground is divided into two zones: RVs one half, and tent camping in the other half. While the tent sites were generally nice and situated among large trees, the RV sites were exposed and open. I did not find them particularly appealing.

We enjoyed our 3 nights at Forks Campground. The location was fantastic with short drives to trailheads at beautiful South Lake, Lake Sabrina and North Lake. Given the warm weather, we appreciated the location of our camp site in the partial shade of the Jeffrey pines. Given cooler weather, it would have been nice to be out in the sunnier sites amidst the sagebrush. The restrooms were kept very clean and seemed to be pumped as regularly as you could want (weekly?). The staff was courteous and helpful. We found it quiet and the stargazing was gorgeous.

We greatly enjoyed our three night stay at Forks campground. The area is beautiful with many great hiking trails nearby. The creek running next to the campground is beautiful and we loved hearing it. We stayed in a tent site and were very happy with it. The site was nicely sanded, smooth and packed but not hard, which we appreciated. We would definitely stay at this campground again.
