Lake Fork Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Payette National Forest's Lake Fork Campground sits along Lick Creek Road, which remains closed until seasonal snowmelt makes it passable, typically sometime in May. The campground is open and positioned next to the creek. Mosquitoes are a known issue here; bug spray is worth packing in quantity. Vault toilets are on-site, and pets are welcome. Campers wanting more options in the area can browse pet-friendly campgrounds near Payette National Forest. Little Payette Lake (Dispersed) provides a nearby alternative for those who prefer a more dispersed setup.

Late spring camping.

Located off lick creek road, accessible after snow has melted opening the main road. This is a beautiful open campground next to the creek. Bring lots of bug spray as mosquitoes travel in large groups. Vault toilets are available.
