"It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly."
"This is a very cozy park tucked in between US60 and I64. We are in site 14 and its not quite level, but they were generous with gravel so the drainage is good! No parking in puddles!"
"This place is so pretty its positively photogenic! Monday - Wednesday we had our loop all to ourselves. We were visited by geese, ducks and deer."
"The spots on the lake are our favorites, but are usually first to fill up. You won't be far from the lake wherever your spot is. The full hookup spots are in my opinion most crowded."

"We chose it because the campsites are on a lovely lake. It was a good choice! The campsites are large, each with a fire pit and picnic table. Many are shaded."

TravelerWe stayed Friday-Sunday and had a great time. Check-in is a little late, but we still had plenty of time to set up. Heavy traffic at times but speed bumps help regulate speed.
TravelerWe have stayed at Beech Fork 3 times now and the view is always spectacular. However, we had to use the shower houses this time & they need attention. The water was barely luke warm and some of the stalls were dirty.
TravelerNice pool, most sites I could see have sewer. Water pressure was low. Very few shady sites on top level.
ScoutVery nice place. Has potential to be great. Three fishing lakes. On old town creek. Plenty of space for kids to roam . Has a nice inground pool.
TravelerWe very much enjoyed our stay here. The host was friendly and helpful. The site was level and the fire pit and picnic table were appreciated. It is a very peaceful and relaxing spot. There are some easy trails cleared in the woods that we enjoyed as well We hope to visit again soon.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay very much. The host was friendly and communicated well. The site was pretty level and the table and fire pit were much appreciated.. It’s a very quiet and peaceful location. If you plan to walk in the woods, bring some tick repellent!
ScoutI love this campground as the nostalgia is strong for me. The family has been camping here for years and years but now it's my turn to take my little family camping and I'm so thankful to give them the same memories I was able to have!
East fork is always clean, polite, well maintained and kid friendly. We are very thankful to live just about an hour away for impromptu camping trips!
TravelerWe were surprised to find the store open when we arrived at 6, but woman inside was a trip. She could not seem to figure out how to do anything and talked to herself the whole time. Check in took about 20-30 minutes! She was very friendly though and explained how to get to our site. Tried to get propane- first she said she didn't know how to do it, then she decided she did, but wound up being clueless. She did let us change our site because it was so far from the bathroom. We had to go down a crazy steep narrow hill to get to the lower area. Thought it might be quiet but wound up on top of a busy road. Ok for an overnight. Huge street lights over us. Sites a little junky looking.
TravelerThe spots are pretty close, but expected from what the map showed when we booked. While they are close there is enough room to make yourself at home. Nice new picnic tables and clean fire pits! It rained while we camped and there was some water pooling in areas.
