Newfork lake campground

Made a lap through campground, it has not been kept up roads were bad. Driving a jeep JLU on 35” tires with lift. No way an RV could get in and out of this unless it has good clearance. I did not stay to many campgrounds in the area to stay in one this run down.

Small rundown campground

Very rough and run down campground. 15 sites but most are overgrown and small. Not advised for TT it or RVs as the access road is the roughest I have ever encountered, almost need high clearance vehicle. Rate is cheap though..$7 nite. Sites have tables, fire rings, and there is a vault toilet. However No water, trash cans and no cell signal. There is a day use beach area though that is scenic, if you can make it down the spur road!

Dusty group camp

Nothing to write home about, the short road in is rocky and almost high clearance. Tables and rings are old and worn out. Pit toilet onsite was clean however. Big open grassy weeds area but spots to pitch tents back in trees. No water or trash. No cell signal. Not on the lake or by the boat ramp as noted in a pic that someone posted here. This group camp is not the same camp as the other New Fork Campground which is on the lake. NOTE: Some of the reviews posted here are incorrect and likely are meant for the other New Fork Campground on the lake close by, or the Narrows Campground at top of the lake

Great spot!

Great lake for the kids play and paddle boarding and kayaking. We camped little away from the lake and took the ATV down to play for the day. The campgrounds are neatly tucked into trees areas closer to the lake and there a lot of different sizes to choose from. The area is well maintained.

Good base to set off from

Stayed here the first night of a 6 day backpacking trip and was treated to our last sit down toilet break for 5 days.

Upon returning we had a welcome dip in the lake and enjoyed some bbq we managed to keep cold in our car. Would definitely come back for a prolonged stay and kayak around the lake.

The boy scouts were also in the area while I was there so if crowds are an issue then late summer is a time to avoid

New Fork Lake Campground during Eclipse

Arrived at New Fork Lake Campground on Thursday before the eclipse, the prime spots with good views of the lake were already taken. We chose space 6 since it had some aspen trees that would provide some shade and had extra space for a tent. Had a nice path down to the lake.

Outhouses were clean and had no issues with them. Camp spaces were clean and could tell in some of the others they had come through recently to cut down some of the tall grasses. Camp fire rings were in great shape and cleaned out, grates movable and useful. No potable water in the campground, could use the lake to filter if necessary.

Day use area with small beach (large snow year so lake was fuller than normal) is very nice for kids to play, launch paddle boards, paddle boats, canoes, etc. was a quick walk from the campsite

We were able to leave our well behaved dog off leash (but still carried it at all times), other campers and animals were friendly.
