Lick Fork Lake Campground

Staying here right now,quiet and beautiful . The trail around the lake is not passible due to down trees the 5.5 mile hike has been cleared outstanding job whoever did it. Pit toilet is what it is with plenty of tp . Potable water is available so the two campers say that are here but it should be tested. Saw a stray tabby cat young and fed. Occasionally you hear gunshots off in the distance. Watch out for snagged trees. And the most important LEAVE NO TRACE.

I love this place. It has a peaceful feel. There is three parts to lick fork. Day use: $3 They have tables by the lake and 1 shelter. The park rangers keep the area clean and there is a toilet in the day use area. The only negative is there is no beach area to swim. Campground: $7 There are 9 campsites. 7, 8 and 9 is the closest to the lake. Each campsite has a table, fire pit and a place to pitch your tent or camper. There is a toilet on site, but no electricity and no water. So come prepared with water and flashlights. Cash only. Bring the exact amount. There is a fishing pier. Trail / non motorized boat ramp. They have two trails Horn Creek trail is around 5 miles. I'm not sure about luck fork trail. There is a map at the entrance. You have to drive through the campground to get to it.

The campgrounds and picnic table areas are beautiful. However, my wife and I went there for a morning hike around the lake. If you are standing in the parking lot and looking at the lake, the trail to the right is pretty much impassable unless you young and agile. The 2024 storm damage was extensive. We turned around and walked to the left for about a mile before turning back.

This is a lovely site but has been neglected. The restroom building near the camp sites was reasonably clean and had an ample supply of toilet paper but most most other aspects of upkeep such as mowing have been neglected; what used to be a Sandy beach at the edge of the water is now grass and weeds. Tried taking some kids hiking on the trail around the pond but it was severely overgrown and in some places no longer possible to even see where the trail used to be. Given its quiet, out of the way location, this would be a fantastic gem if it were properly maintained. Bring even change to pay the $3 day use or $7 camping fee in the honor-system envelopes.

Absolutely beautiful. If you need a break from the hustle and bustle, this is the place. Did the short loop and camped overnight in our skoolie. Just $7/night to boondock!
