Lake Fork Campground is located on US Highway 50, 25 miles west of Gunnison, CO. Lake Fork is located just above Blue Mesa Dam and is one of the primary marinas for Blue Mesa Reservoir. There is no visitor center at Lake Fork, so camp hosts are often the front line for visitor questions. Amenities include 50A electric, water and sewer. Cell phone reception varies by carrier. High winds are frequent. The vegetation is mostly sagebrush and has few trees. 90 camp sites are paved and used mostly by RVs. There are a few walk-in sites for tent campers.
