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.
