North Fork Recreation Area at Rough River Lake is a little discombobulated. The lay out of the area is missing any Feng Shui. 

There is a nice picnic area with a large pavilion , parking area and fishing pier next to but not connected to the boatramp. The boatramp has parking along one side, two ramps to use and it in turn is next to but not connected to the campground. 

Pro: there is a nice size beach on the other side of the road with a large shaded picnic area that looks like it used to be a campground, a good size parking lot and a large pavilion. 

Con: regardless your plans for the day/weekend it’s almost impossible to easily/safely move from one activity to the next without the use of a vehicle. 

This campground was crowded , noisy and there was no privacy. 

Con: sorta felt like setting your tent up on Main Street in a mid-size town. 

Pro: you might make new friends (hopefully quiet, courteous friends)

Con: very strange lay out which uses every inch of space. 

Con: there was a lot of noisy water traffic.

Pro: you could tie your water craft near your campsite in several areas. 

Con: some of the sites had little room to park your car.

We ended up way down at the end in site 66 

Pro:cut down on vehicle traffic 

Con: we were right next to the boatramp area, very noisy.

Pro: there was a restroom nearby

Con: it was shared with the boatramp

When driving to North Fork you pass through a small town with a gas station, Dollar General and food available. I gave a three star due to the noise, crowd and lack of privacy. You may enjoy this kind of camping.
